MARKET SUPPLY

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT CHICAGO WAS A WASTELAND OF ANY GOOD VINTAGE SHOPS I WAS INTRODUCED TO MIKE AT MARKET SUPPLY IN THE PILSEN NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE IS GREAT STUFF HERE, WELL EDITED AND PRICED RIGHT.
A MUST VISIT WHEN IN THE WINDY CITY.

 MIKE HAS SOME BARBER SKILLS AS WELL.

THE CHAIR IS IN THE BACK OF THE SHOP

MIKE

LIGHT MY FIRE

THESE COPPER BEAUTIES ARE MADE BY MARATAC. THE FLASHLIGHT (LEFT) HAS THREE BRIGHTNESS SETTINGS AND IS RUGGED (AND SEXY). THE "PEANUT" LIGHTER (RIGHT) IS SO SMALL AND COMPACT, PERFECT FOR THROWING INTO A DOPP KIT. (TO HAVE ON HAND FOR THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT UP). BOTH HAVE RUBBER GASKETS TO KEEP WATER RESISTANT. I GOT THESE FROM A GREAT WEBSITE CALLED COUNTY COMM THAT HAS TONS OF COOL STUFF. THESE ARE GREAT STOCKING STUFFERS FOR THE GUY WHO HAS IT ALL. (AND THEN SOME)

HQ MILTON WISH LIST

EVERY SO OFTEN (OK, WAY TOO OFTEN) I CHECK IN WITH MY FRIEND'S AT HQ MILTON TO SEE WHAT KIND OF ROLEX INVENTORY THEY HAVE. I AM NEVER DISAPPOINTED. BELOW IS MY CURRENT WISH LIST FROM THEIR SITE. 

WHITETAIL HUNT

A NICE FIVE POINT WHITETAIL WAS TAKEN OFF WILLIAM BROWN FARM LAST SUNDAY (AS WELL AS A COUPLE SQUIRRELS FOR A GAME PIE CRAFTED BY ARCHIVAL CLOTHINGS' OWN TOM BONAMICI). SO AFTER THE DEER WAS FIELD DRESSED IT WAS OFF TO MY UPSTATE PROCESSOR GARY AT KRANTZ'S KUSTOM MEATS. GARY HAS PROCESSED PIGS FOR ME IN THE PAST AND IT IS SUCH A PRO OPERATION. JUDGING BY THE LAST PIC IT WAS EPIC FIRST WEEK FOR HUNTERS NEAR ME UPSTATE NY.
