Stuff. Good Stuff.

BillyKirk no. 2011 Frame Bike Pouch, Tan
As the late comedian, George Carlin, has says, "That's the whole meaning of life, isn't it... trying to find a place for your stuff".  Well, BillyKirk has done a pretty damn good job of creating aesthetic beauties that hold and transport all of the good stuff in life.  I first encountered BillyKirk's work when a friend tipped me off to his Card Cases because the hand-stitching work that I was doing on Holdsters was reminiscent of the stitching on his Card Cases.  They looked awesome.  They make good stuff.

Queen City Dry Goods

Queen City Dry Goods

Clothing like they used to make it

It's true- Queen City Dry Goods really is 'Makin' em like they used to'.  Designed and manufactured in Vermont, Queen City's line of waxed canvas and leather dry goods are the highest of quality.  Stopping into their shop on Church St. in Burlington is like getting a glimpse into the past: The owner (Matt Renna) is usually crouched over a pattern that he's working on for his latest jacket, bag, or hat.  The machines look old and industrial and it smells like I would imagine a late 1800's clothing store to smell like.  The clothing has weight- visually and literally.  This stuff is meant to last.  This place is the real deal.
