Wi-Fi signals in public places are the absolute gift of Gods of technology, a gift bestowed lovingly unto self confessed geeks, computer nerds and technology addicts… and perhaps even the closet ones too. The Wi-Fi symbol is becoming known and loved by the internet fiends who trawl city centres looking for venues displaying its loving logo, welcoming them for coffee and free surfing. But is that logo so great that you’d wear it? Think Geek seems to think so. Their [...]
Do you ever put on your gloves, then feel as if the area between your index and middle finger is dangling. In case that discomfort reminds you of the sensation when going commando under your jeans, you can relieve it with Handerpants, a pair of underwear apparel fashioned especially for the hands. If you wear gloves for any reason (like when riding a bike or hitting the weights), you’ve probably noticed how badly your hands sweat, how stinky it can [...]
Where do you keep your watches when you travel? If you like to bring along more than what you’re rocking on your wrist, you might want to consider the Bamford & Sons Aluminum Travel Watch Tube, an easy-to-carry canister that will keep your backup timepieces secure. Designed for luxury watches, the stylish capsule is configured to preserve your favorite accessories’ pristine and undamaged condition throughout the trip. It offers comfortable space for up to four watches at a time, all [...]
Wearable USB flash drives generally aren’t all that hot. The last one we saw, a pair of Calvin Klein shades with integrated storage, looked decidedly off-putting. These USB Wrist Bands, however, are a whole other story, able to fuse both fashion and function, without being tacky. Created by USB Hub, the wrist-worn accessories look like colorful baller bands, at first glance. A closer inspection, though, will show a raised bump around the connecting area where the actual flash drive is [...]
I always knew flip-flops were missing something. I just couldn’t put my finger on what it was. Now I know. This pair of Aperitivo Flip Flops from designer Tommaso Colia fashions the footwear into a usable coaster, fitted with a circular cup holder built onto the surface. That means, when you sit on the sand, you can put it right next to you and use it to keep your beer upright. Basically, it turns erstwhile regular flip-flops into a two-in-one [...]
As big of a dork as you might look like wearing a Batman costume in public, you can’t deny the awesomeness behind this official replica from Universal Designs. The Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit seems every bit as authentic as you can get to the film version, making you look like a real-life Bruce Wayne in costume. Wear it with the RIPT Fusion shirt underneath and you’ll look invincible. While it’s difficult to picture a rough-and-tumble biker actually putting this thing [...]
Is it time to log on to Facebook yet? You don’t have to forget again with the Social Networking Watch, which sports the logo of popular social media destinations as a placeholder for the time. That’s if you log on to Facebook at exactly 12 0′ clock, of course. If you don’t particularly like to schedule what sites to visit at which time (especially since you can’t configure the arrangement of the watch face), the media-centered gear should play nice [...]
Shoes are pretty much as-you-get-them pieces. While you can jazz up your kicks a little, they usually look their best when left to their own devices. These witty bumper stickers won’t really make your shoes look any snazzier, but they sure as hell can inject a little personality. Drawing inspiration from regular car bumper stickers, these micro-adhesives stick to the back of your shoes. Like the witticisms that spawned them, they’re laden with amusing and facetious one liners that’s sure [...]
Now that many homes are equipped with high-def television sets, flaws are just that much faster to notice. Those age lines on your favorite celebrity’s face are as easily discernible as they have ever been, thanks to the incredible detail full HD can deliver. To support the need of those who’d rather cover up their imperfections on camera, Cargo came up with a new make-up line, specially-designed to make the wearer look good on 1080p displays. Borrowing from Sony’s popular [...]
Regardless of feelings you harbor for your favorite piece of clothing, I doubt it’s ever going to measure up to the free shirt Capcom is giving away at the upcoming Comic Con in San Diego next week. The official Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles merchandise can turn you from a regular t-shirt wearing guy into a brain-eating zombie in a jiffy. A freebie shirt that doesn’t suck is a rarity these days. One that blows away every other t-shirt you’ve owned [...]
Got enough money for a high-end sportscar but would rather buy a wristwatch instead? Try URWERK’s UR-CC1 King Cobra, which sports retrograde linear displays that bring to mind overactive dashboard panels from barreling high-performance classic roadsters. Borrowing from the Patek Philippe Cobra prototype watch from 1958, the King Cobra tells time by way of a jumping cylinder for the hours (bottom of the face), a retrograde cylinder for the minutes (middle) and a rotating disk for the seconds (top). URWERK [...]
I guess it had to happen. With USB flash drives turning up in all sorts of shapes and sizes, seeing one decked on a pair of designer specs isn’t all that difficult a proposition – as strange as the association might seem. Calvin Klein’s upcoming USB Shades fit in a deck of flash storage on one detachable arm, allowing you to carry your data while clad in an eye-protecting piece of accessory. Unless you live in the dankest place on [...]
San Francisco-based retailer Fatlace recently celebrated their 10th anniversary and prepared a wonderful piece for the occasion. In commemoration of the event, they teamed up with popular watchmaker Meister Watches to produce the CMGK, an attractive black wristpiece with a variety of color accents across its face. CMGK’s billing is an acronym for Cyan, Magenta, Green and blacK, which make up the color palette used on the timepiece. The watch carries very understated looks, with the added hues providing a [...]
As the film There’s Something About Mary demonstrated so graphically, one zipper can do a great deal of damage. Add 119 more of them little metal fasteners and you’ve got yourself the potential for a whole lot of danger. Of course, the same thing also allows a dress to be more modular and that’s exactly what the 120-Zipper Dress from Sebastian Errazuriz purports to be. Each stripe on the dress corresponds to one zipper panel that connects that particular fabric [...]
Love the fame, hate the paparazzi? For celebrities like you who don’t want their pictures splattered across tabloids everyday, there’s the anti-paparazzi Flash Purse, a small clutch bag that fires back a blinding flash so no decent photo of you can ever be taken. Created by NYU grad student Adam Harvey, the purse is designed for carrying by non-publicity-starved celebs who’d rather keep their best angles for that next paid photoshoot than a spot on Perez Hilton with some inanity [...]
Some folks like colorful watches, while a few prefer difficult timepieces. My personal favorites are big watches with lots of moving components like the Graham Chronofighter Tourist Trophy, which does it one better by adding a lever over the crown that looks like a grenade pin. London-based watchmaker Graham teamed up with the Tourist Trophy Isle of Man races for this commemorative piece, one of which was awarded for every race winner during the motorcycle tournament’s two-week run last month. [...]
No guitar slinger’s gear is complete without a bunch of picks easily within arm’s length. While you can always keep a set of the little plastic strummers in your pocket, it’s also the easiest way to keep losing them. The Braithwaite Orpheus wallet treats your picks the way it attends to your bills – giving you slots to put them in so they don’t fall off accidentally. Many guitar pros will probably snicker at the idea – after all, they’re [...]
Tired of wearing your makeshift medieval outfit during…errr…whatever that stuff is you go to donning that garb? Bring a little more authenticity to your girl-repellant costume with the Chain Mail Coif, real metal headgear that slips under your hood to help keep you safe from sword-toting enemies while battling for a fair maiden’s hand. Since this isn’t really the Middle Ages and you aren’t likely to get into any real duels, you can just wear it for special events like [...]
There are many situations when a rope might be useful to you. However, it’s absolutely impractical to carry them unless you’re purposely spending time in the great outdoors (except if you regularly dress up as a cowboy, that is). The Survival Bracelet allows you to carry a good length of rope, all while looking like nothing more than a regular wristband. Bracelets come in standard wearable sizes and should fit most any wrist, from skinny malnourished geeks to gargantuan muscle-bound [...]
