The FED employs plenty of carbon fiber and aluminum as a weight-reducing measure, which helps give this four-seater a 30-percent improvement in fuel economy over current military vehicles. Yet even after such a significant increase in efficiency, the FED only gets seven miles per gallon. Under the carbon fiber hood, the FED is powered by a turbocharged and supercharged Cummins four-cylinder engine putting out 200 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque. That helps produce enough power to allow the 15,000-pound FED to have a top speed of almost 75 miles per hour. (Source)
They are a menace which threaten the sanctity of gun free zones and weapons policy!
At least that’s what a nine year old boy from Michigan found out recently:
Schall Elementary School principal Susan Wright called the parents at home and said the cupcakes were insensitive in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting. School staff pulled off the Army men before they were served.
Supreme x Comme Des Garcons… wow this is hard on the eyes:
I just posted a few of the pieces, but they are all equally as hideous. You can check out all 29 pages worth of pictures in the lookbook over at Supreme. I feel that the two solid color dress shirts with the sleeve accents are the most wearable, but you wouldn’t catch me spending Supreme capsule collection money on those.
I’m not the biggest fan of digital camouflages on streetwear in the first place, then they go and put contrast polkadots on it? *Pusha-T Yeeeeechhhh*
In my opinion Supreme is really coming across as a “Tryhard” brand lately.
A touchscreen liner glove from snowboarding company Burton:
Because all of us hardcores are worried about giving up our position when we un-glove our hands to text or answer a call. Never be caught without some sort of disruptive pattern covering your skin at ALL times when you’re out in the wild.
I criticized U.S. Alteration last year for mixing camouflages and adding phony rank pins to their clothing… looks like they stayed away from that this year thankfully.
What you see there is a re-issue of Victorinox Swiss Army’s first watch (*cough* timepiece). Notice that classic leather band, with the extra piece of leather behind the watch band itself just to lay nice and comfortably on the wrist. This is where the game gets changed… see that innocent looking leather dome beside the watch? Well that’s to cover up the entire watch head, making you look like you have some sort of round leather brick on your wrist, and to likely protect the mineral crystal too. Check a screen shot of the watch in cover-up mode below:
A promo video featuring the watch:
A definite predicament of style and stunting. Sure we’re talking Swiss Army money on the wrist, but as long as your not one of those herbs that I constantly hear taking that “man I have a cellphone, what do I need a watch for?” shit, then flaunt it if you got it. I’m torn on this once, because I’m one of those guys that spent compact-car money on a watch (Rolex Submariner), and although I do have face-covering straps I put on it occasionally just to switch things up, ultimately I find myself drawn back to the factory steel bracelet. Why? Because it’s shinier and the whole world knows what’s on your wrist. Actually that last part is a lie… I realized that 99.99999% of the people I encounter on a yearly basis couldn’t give two shits about an expensive watch, and they would probably be more impressed with a fluorescent band G-Shock… even if they were shown them side by side. So I guess I’ll just default back to the “because it’s shinier” statement then. It’s the small pleasures in life like catching the glare off of it while I’m driving, or temporarily blinding a MILF in Starbucks as I do one of those “Look at the watch but not actually the time” type checks, just because.
Even the goat in that video screenshot is peeping the old man’s steeze in his peripheral.
More info and pictures on the Victorinox website. The price on the watch isn’t shown online, but it will be available in select stores soon. I’m guessing ~$300 territory.
More pictures and info over at Jay Leno’s garage.
