Ryan Rowe Men's Footwear

First to recommend

Description

Beautiful, modern men's shoes crafted from the finest materials, walking the line between dress and casual. Every molecule on these is thought through, every material is phenomenal and no expense is spared. Craftsmanship is detailed and flawless, and yet the shoes have a kind of hand made quality to them that makes them feel more appropriate with jeans than slacks.

Very nice variety of styles. Not a brand that wants to pigeonhole you. I have the Leighton leather, super comfortable with a lush soft leather upper, and the Crofton. The Crofton is gorgeous but does fit a bit long in the forefoot while being snug over the top of the foot. They went for an elongated, sleek look, and got it. But if you have a high arch you should probably avoid that style. The line isn't built on a single last shape so another style (like the Leighton) would likely fit you fine.

Special promo code RA08 (that's a zero, not the letter 'o') gets you 40% off at checkout if you buy from the brand's own website: http://www.ryan-rowe.com

Apple iPhone

383 people recommended this item

Description

Everyone I know who has an iPhone says it has literally changed their life; that no other gadget/phone/technology has made them so deliriously happy or completely content as the iPhone. As a solid Verizon customer, I put off getting an iPhone for an entire year. It was expensive, I was stuck in a contract, and it was a 1st gen. I will wait no longer. I went with the White 16GB.

The new iPhone 3G is twice as fast at half the price. "With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again."

ICON: reengineered, modernized Toyota FJ40 reproductions

First to recommend

Description

These are unreal. Aluminum V8; aluminum, teflon powder coated body, on and on the specs amaze. They've taken a classic vehicle and reproduced it with the ultimate in current engineering specs. Should go over anything and last forever, and look phenomenal through it all. Six figure price tags with options.

Coach Cabin Bag

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Crafted of beautiful, classic Coach leather. In some ways not the world's most practical bag, as it lacks wheels but (in the large size) is big enough to carry a pretty heavy load. However, its design will never be out of date and its leather will only become better looking and feeling over the years. I love mine and just use it for specific trips when I don't need ultimate practicality.

Maglite flashlights

Description

Made with precision in the USA, always useful, and you can never have too many. I prefer the LED versions.

Keep a big one in the car, it can double as a self-defense aid.

I have them all over the house, and they make great gifts. Love finding unusual colors!
