A nice vehicle related companion for your USMC combat knife:
Hopefully they make a leather wrapped version too. I like to keep it oldschool.
No word on the price or availability, but according to the KA-BAR blog we might see it sooner or later.

Bell Rogue Military Motorcycle Helmet
Appears to be inspired by the classic American M1 combat helmet:
Video review:
DOT approved of course. Definitely an interesting concept. It doesn’t look quite as cool on someone as some other helmets I’ve seen, but the price isn’t bad, and the versatility amazing.
Coming soon, but listed for $250 over at BELL.

Valentino S/S 2013 Camouflage Collection
The Italian luxury brand goes full woodland.
The above promo video was from their launch of the collection at their Milan store. You may recognize Chinese artist Liu Bolin, as the guy getting painted to become “invisible”. That is his claim to fame, and some of the pictures are actually really neat.
Two jackets, a sweater, and a t-shirt are already available for purchase on the Valentino website. In true Valentino fashion though they are $2880, $1595, $990, and $325 respectively; take a look for yourself. The one sweater and the one jacket are alright looking, but what’s up with the neon stripe at the bottom of the other jacket and the t-shirt? Reminds me of the reflective belts USAF have to wear with their uniform.
More from their facebook page, that isn’t on the website yet:
I like the jacket, and the shoes look “alright”. What really caught my eye was the cloth/leather combination used on the cases and wallets… interesting how they carried the pattern through the materials. That scarf would look alright on a girl too, so I’m not mad at it. -

Hand Grenade Key And Coin Purse
I mean.. it’s a “case”, not a purse. Yeahhhh:
I don’t want one, but I hate how things like this are “probably not a good idea” in today’s world. Quite sad, that depending on how you’re dressed you could end up with a face full concrete if someone called in a “man with a grenade” to 911.¥1,155 ($12.75 USD) over at Rakuten if you want to take your chances.
