Filson Gifts

We all have good friends that are connoisseurs of the bottle especially over the holiday season.  This year why not get them something they can enjoy with their whiskey like a coaster set or flask made by Filson.  Each coaster is made with 100% genuine bridle leather and embossed with C.C.Filson Co. logo.   The exterior of the stainless steel flask is outfitted with the same leather and also embossed with their logo.  Both are great holiday gift ideas and we think your friends will appriciate something a little different.

Burton Method 2010

burton_method

Growing up I spent a lot of time looking and wanting the newest snowboard.  Each year, designs kept getting cooler and board performance was always improving for riders.  It’s been a while since I last looked at new snowboards and it’s no surprise that Burton is still at the top of the game especially with the 2010 Burton Method.

Burton’s R&D were given no limitations and held nothing back when designing the 2010 Method.  The results include new aluma superfly core, S2 carbon vapourskin lite, and methlon N20 WFO vision base.  In addition the board has new slim rail sidewalls, and titanium alloy pressure distribution edges. 

What does all this new technology mean?  Burton created not only the best looking pro-tip board of the year but the lightest performing board for the slopes.  Oh yea and did we mention the $1500 price tag?  Yikes!

Personal Taste

personal_taste1Being my first post this would probably be a good time to introduce myself. My name is Jt. and like anyone else I tend to enjoy many things in life.  Labellife is an outlet for me to share my excitement for fashion, music, design, people and sometimes food.  Enough about me and lets get to the good stuff.

There are many things in this world we appreciate as individuals.  In this post I won’t get into specific labels.  However, these are what I consider to be some of my favorites and basics in my life.  The oxford, a classic shirt with clean lines and considered timeless.  Strong durable denim that will withstand the numerous wears and washes is important.  Of the many shoes it is always essential to have a pair of simple white tennis shoes.  To top it off accessories balance it all out starting with sunglasses and possibly a duffle bag for trips to the gym or weekends away from home.  The last two in my world go hand in hand.  Monocle magazine is always a good read reporting on international affairs and trends along with some buttered popcorn.  Just be careful turning the pages with greasy fingers.
