Iconography
I made my way over to the Icon site the other day to do nothing more than drool over the "bespoke" FJ, when I saw they had a newer model out, the CJ. It's like the little, runt brother of the FJ -- the Clint Howard to the FJ's Ron.
Available in "New School" or "Old School" trim packages, the peoples at Icon have thought of damn near everything. 210hp, in-line 4 banger, 5 forward gears and room for 4... Willys would be proud. For those of you sitting there complaining about the price and throwing out declaratives such as, "I could do that, and for cheaper," avert your eyes... cause these ain't for you.
More of this...

Safe
My buddy, Jonathan (who constantly keeps me up to date with the freshest finds from the furthest reaches of the internets) sent me some amazing photos by Paul Thompson this morning. No, this isn't a collection of mug shots or a photo essay on early 20th century, hardened criminals serving out time in work camps -- these are what ball-players used to look like. Men who wore their life stories in the creases and folds of their faces as prominently as the numbers on their backs, these boys of summer played the game for a whole other reason. Striped, short-billed hats off to these gents.

Altadena Works For Me
For those of you not hip enough to know about these guys (myself included since I just heard about the teardrop a few days ago), check out the wondrous world of Altadena Works rucksacks. Modeled after 1970s bags and made here in these United States, what more could you possibly ask for in a backpack? Built for the trails and designed for the purists, these bags will have you scrunching your wool socks down to your Danners and pressing a crease into your khaki shorts for Half Dome at sunrise in no time.

Stars Upon Thars
No matter who you are or where you came up, these shoes probably played some sort of role in your life. All these years, virtually unchanged, and still as good as it gets. Check out the mother-load of Made In USA Chucks from Gorilla Goods.

In Sound... Far Out
It was a different time and these sleeves are the fossils to prove it. If you don't check the ISO50 blog every morning, do so -- always bringing the heat with the graphic goodness and daily design dosage.
