(Almost) Bulletproof Shades

0 comments
The lenses on these slick, heavy-duty sunglasses are officially endorsed by the Japanese military because of their pretty-much-unbreakability; they've tested them by firing small objects at over 100 mph and dropping heavy iron rods on them, meaning you can finally learn to juggle knives!

Slip on these shades and you'll feel part of the army. The Japan Self-Defense Force Sunglasses have been officially endorsed by the Japanese military and not only look super cool, but are ultra strong as well. The lens will not fracture even if struck at 171km/h (106mph) by a 6.55mm (0.3") diameter object, nor do they shatter if a 500g shaft of iron is dropped on them from 1.27m! While they can't quite withstand an actual speeding bullet you get the idea!




The Japan Self-Defense Force Sunglasses feature:

Size: 16 x 15 x 4cm (6.3 x 5.9 x 1.6")
Lens thickness: 2mm (0.08")
Weight: 27-35g
Frames made of TPR/TR90
Comes with glasses box with emblem of JSDF

Lost Galleon

From a dude obsessed with diving for shipwreck treasure, Galleon's hawking a collection of money clips, rings, and cufflinks fitted with crazy-old valuable coins recovered from the great deep, letting you browse by coin category (Ancient Greek or Roman, Colonial Europe, Japanese Shogun, etc.) or specific shipwreck; each piece comes with its own map of origin and a certificate confirming its background and authenticity, cause there's nothing more embarrassing than people thinking you're running around with fake shipwreck cufflinks. Nothing.

Any good rock star is rarely seen without his sunglasses, useful for keeping their too-cool-for-school rep, masking the ravages of the after-party, and hiding the unlovable face that forced them to become really good at music just to get laid. At music! Providing you that same option, Initium's Lifestyle Collection.

Muhammad Ali's Luxury robe

There is no better way to come out of the shower and looking like a Champ
This cozy, hooded velour robe is a studious replica of the one the Champ wore, with his immortal catchphrase “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” stitched onto the front pocket, and “MUHAMMAD ALI” in imposing capitals on the back. It comes accompanied by an oversized hangtag featuring a classic photo of Muhammad Ali preening in his original robe.

Protect Your Heart 007 style

0 comments
The Damned
Think of The Damned as a devilishly handsome security blanket perfectly suited for our violent times. It's the kind of garment Q would have cooked up in James Bond's Roger Moore phase. The square itself is made from military-grade ballistic-strength Aramid Fibre—which means it can stop a bullet point blank when folded over 5 times. (And as a bonus it comes in a dreamy shade of yellow.)

The Damned is a Bullet-Proof* Gentlemen’s Pocket Square measuring 270 mm x 270, made from lemon Military Grade Ballistic Strength Aramid Fibre - to protect the hearts of men.

Originally made in a limited issue of ten in 2007, The Damned now has been released as an open edition.

This ‘pocket-protector’ of the Modern Ages is bound in Citric French Cotton and in light of its chamfered corners we developed a Unique and New Fold to the Gentlemen’s Square, to which we have afforded the name: The Damned


* If a gun is aimed at you, fired, and the slug hits you, you will be hurt despite the properties of the square; The impact of the projectile itself is likely to fracture, crack or break your bones bones and bruise you. According to the specifications of the textile, a ballistic projectile such as a bullet will not pass through thirty two layers of this material. We take NO responsibility for those who feel compelled to test the endurance or resistance of the textile in any way.
