Best Made Co.

Best Made Co. is a great brand focusing on tools and accessories that aid the able man. Horace received the Elkskin Chopper Mitts from his sweet mother and has hardly taken them off since. He has indeed used them to chop wood, but the most recent use was with his gorgeous Koni-Omega out in the perfect snow. He swears that his hands are more than cozy and these mitts make the perfect glove for a manual shooter. While I'm over here freezing trying to gingerly press my digital shutter release, he pretty much can slap his camera the shutter release is so big and stubborn, like a lot of the film cameras we use. These gloves are comfortable and, if I might say, quite cute. Horace loves nothing more than a good ol' vintage vibe.

a portrait of my son | once a week in 2014

Owen - you love being in your father's arms.

the snow is deep on the ground

The snow is deep on the ground.   

Always the light falls

Softly down on the hair of my beloved.

This is a good world.

The war has failed.

God shall not forget us.

Who made the snow waits where love is.

Only a few go mad.

The sky moves in its whiteness

Like the withered hand of an old king.   

God shall not forget us.

Who made the sky knows of our love.

The snow is beautiful on the ground.   

And always the lights of heaven glow   

Softly down on the hair of my beloved.

Maritime Supply Co.

I love finding small American made brands that are making great products and that have an aesthetic that suits me. Horace brought this one to my attention when he gave me an anchor bracelet as a birthday gift. As a born and bred East Coaster (with a brief stint in the PNW), the nautical style is just a part of life. There is something so special about seeing the water out your car window nearly everywhere you go. 

Maritime Supply Co. really hits the mark on nautical style, leaving kitsch behind and opting for a more wearable and everyday appeal to their accessories. They mainly focus on their seafaring inspired bracelets, but recently branched out into apparel with a great t-shirt featuring their logo, designed by Olde Soul. We got to try out a few of their products and took them for a spin in a canoe on a frozen afternoon followed by a cozy beer at one of our favorite spots in downtown Annapolis, Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge.  Thanks to Joey for being such a fun model and great sport. It was his birthday the day we shot these! Make sure to check out the bottom of the post for all the info on the products featured here.
Enjoy!
