Ball and Buck and Buck Knives (talk about a match made in similarly-named heaven) have joined up to make a limited edition pocket knife. Dubbed the Folding Hunter’s Knife, it’s made in Post Falls, ID and features a partially serrated S30v steel blade, walnut and brass handle, and a custom beeswax leather sheath. See it here.

There are still a few days left to get 20% off at Cadet with code WELLSPENT. On a related note, Cadet’s Barracks Blazer has the best off the rack fit of any jacket I’ve ever owned (including EG and LBM). Code expires Sunday, November 16th. Use it here.


Epaulet

Nov_Ad_Spotlight_Epaulet
A fresh batch of Tennis Trainers has just arrived at Epaulet, including two new Low Top colorways (Slate and Alabaster), and two colorways of the brand new Tennis Trainer Highs (Sienna and Black). All styles are handmade in Portugal out of full-grain calfskin leather from Italy’s Gruppo Mastrotto tannery, and are priced between $225 and $245, which is nearly $200 less than any comparable pair of European-made sneakers on the market. See them here.


Glendon Lambert

Nov_Ad_Spotlight_Glendon
Good news for anyone that likes it raw (“it” being silk, of course). Brooklyn’s Glendon Lambert recently debuted their new Raw Silk Stripes Ties, which are handmade in the USA out of custom-milled fabric from England, and have holiday party written all over them. See them here.


Gustin

Nov_Ad_Spotlight_Gustin
Just in time for Winter, the good dudes at Gustin have released their first ever scarf. It’s made in San Francisco out of 4 oz, 100% cotton selvedge chambray from Japan, it measures a whopping 70″ by 20″, and it only costs for $40. See it here.


Hand-Eye Supply

Our friends at Hand-Eye Supply have launched a new website called Desk Inspired. In their own words, “this Hand-Eye Supply publication pays homage to the often overlooked ecosystem of the desk, its tools and its diverse users. Portland, OR hosts an amazing array of talented desk users and an accordingly beautiful array of desks. Here’s a spectrum of workspaces and the creatives who love them.” See it here.


Huckberry

Nov_Ad_Spotlight_Huckberry
Now through Monday, Huckberry’s got some seriously handsome – and handsomely discounted – handcrafted brass bracelets from Studebaker. There are a number of styles to choose from (I’m leaning towards the flat cuffs, myself), and they’re all under $50. See them here.


Oak Street Bootmakers

Nov_Ad_Spotlight_OSB
This week, Oak Street Bootmakers introduced a new style called the Khaki Suede Vibram Sole Trapper Boot (there’s a mouthful) (that’s what she said). It’s handcrafted in the USA out of waterproof suede from Horween, and has a Vibram 2060 sole, form-fitting inner, waxed stitching, and rawhide laces. See it here.


QP Collections

Nov_Ad_Spotlight_QP
And finally, QP Collections has partnered with an NGO in Ghana to make these beautiful Kente Cloth ties. The fabrics are handwoven in Africa out of cotton and silk, the ties are cut and sewn in the USA, and 20% of the profits go back to the weavers. See them here.
