Looking for a pair of jeans to protect you from flying bullets? Today is your lucky day as Naked & Famous have produced an interesting pair of jeans. Ok it’s not actually bulletproof but the denim contains 20% Kevlar which is a common component in body armor. Now Naked & Famous design some of the best jeans on the market but I am still trying to rationalize this concept. I guess if you are looking for a tremendously strong pair of jeans, these are for you.
The release for the highly anticipated iPad is less than a month away (April 3rd) and the first commercial has launched to introduce the tablet PC. It could be classified as an oversized iPhone, but this device will surely change the way we use computers and technology. It will also be the white knight to a distressed publishing industry, transforming the way we all read books and newspapers. Other than that I’ll have to say the iPad is the coolest looking touch-screen computer anyone can own.
I was in a surf shop over the weekend and drawn to these sleek sunglasses made by Raen Optics. What I like most about their sunglasses is they have taken classic european styles and incorporated many aspects of California surf culture. The label which only launched back in 2008 seems to have both of their feet on the ground as they are already distributing to international countries such as Australia, Japan and China. Check out the entire collection on the Raen website along with thier new 2010 products.
Keeping up with Stonesthrow, Mayer Hawthrone’s new video ‘I Wish it Would Rain’ was recently released. If you haven’t heard the album ‘A Strange Arrangement’, Hawthorne is a musical genius injecting soul and jazz influences into his own works and bringing back classic sounds of Motown. Not only does the young man from Ann Arbor, Michigan produce all his songs, but he also sings and plays many of the instruments on each of the tracks. I think that it’s amazing to see and hear what this man is capable of. Watch his new video ‘I Wish it would Rain’.
