MCMC Fragrance Dude No. 1 Beard Oil

Jonathan Gatlin — Fri, 11 May 2012 21:43:35 +0000

Anne McClain, the perfumer behind Dude No. 1, was inspired by her own husband, as well as her Brooklyn neighborhood. The all-natural organic formula is a mix of cedar, coriander, and peppercorns. The base of organic hemp seed oil and jojoba moisturize and condition your face and your facial hair, making scruff look neater and more controlled. The oil comes in a roll-on bottle. Simply dab a bit on your neck and than rub into your beard, scruff, or clean-shaven face with your hands. If you like, apply to wrists or anywhere else you want to smell good. $65 for 25mL at Birch Box.

Colonel Littleton Grip Travel Bag

Jonathan Gatlin — Wed, 09 May 2012 13:06:16 +0000

Tennessee-based Colonel Littleton has been crafting American-made accessories for quite sometime and the No. 3 Grip travel bag gives us Garry Littleton’s depiction of Americana. The bag measures 21″ in length so it’s not too large and not too small plus the straps on the back are there to secure your umbrella. The Colonel’s signature brown native American steer hide is dry milled, making the bag soft and supple. They’ve retained natural hide markings to add to the character of the bag so expect this piece to get better with age. One of the defining qualities about Colonel Littleton is that they allow each of their pieces to be personalized. This is no different with the No. 3 Grip as you can have up to 3 initials placed on the brass oval plate. $875 at Colonel Littleton
