Billykirk - Shopping for Accessory Part 1

Billykirk presents the Double Wrap Cuff With Scar. "This is another version of our original No. 28 Double Wrap Cuff. The scar design came about soon after we designed the slit cutting die. I think, subconsciously, we wanted to sew the slits back together as if it were a gash on one's arm. Waxed cording and dull nickel silver parts. Hand-oiled and edged. 3/4."Made in the USA." I think the black looks great, however; I am partial to the natural because it is sure to develop a beautiful patina over time!

A Cut Above: Filson Rucksack

The Filson Rucksack may be an obvious pick for the Rake but you can't deny how damn sweet it is! The rugged Oil Finish, 22 oz. 100% cotton twill, combined with 100% cowhide vegetable tanned leather creates one of the most durable and long lasting piece of luggage on the market. Did I mention, MADE IN THE USA.

Traveling, going on a day hike, or cruising the city streets working on developing a super sweet patina, The Restoration Rake needs the Filson Rucksack.
