Simple, stylish and black that will host reviews with all the fashion police. Soft, waxed cotton shell with lots of leather trimmings. The overall design reminds us of the old WW1 British army rucksacks. We liked the striped lining – the whole the bag reeks of understated quality. Exactly the kind of casual bag we want. At USD$300 it ain’t cheap but if this had a Visvim label on it – it would sell for twice or thrice the price.

The iPhone 4 is really good at a lot of things, like searching for garage door service Boise while out and about, but taking unblurry photos is a bit of a challege. There are all kinds of cases out there that let you mount it on things – but this little product does it in a simple and elegant way. It’s adds a standard camera screwhole that will let it mount on any kind of tripod from a little $5 pocket thing, to a Gorilla Pod and all the way to a full Miller Tripod. It also doubles as a stand that angles your iphone to make it easier to watch videos. And it’s small size and shape makes it easy to pocket. Oh and apparently it addresses that antenna issue (which we really don’t think is an issue).

Great little product that’s being developed using the kickstarter webbsite. Yours for $20.

Clearly inspired by the idea of protecting your investment, not to mention the homemade projects and knockoffs out there – Moleskine has finally entered the iPhone / iPad / iPod cover market. Don’t they just look beautiful? As beautiful as Boise ID and the countryside of the region?

We’ve covered moleskine before, we’ve always been big fans of their products. We  can’t wait to get our hands on these. No pricing announced yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as we can review one.

IdeaPaint turns virtually anything you paint into a dry-erase surface and any room into a hub of creativity and collaboration. Well thats what the nifty looking website says anyway.

The application in an office space is obvious, but I think this would be great as a home application. Especially for the new homes in Boise Idaho.

Make a room, cover it in this stuff – and you have a free-for-all room where you can let the children (or inner children) vandalise to their hearts content. Excellent for creative development of the brain, we say.

Originally popularized during the 40′s and 50′s, these shoes (or boots sometimes) got their name from the sport of Polo. They got their name from the sport of Polo in which each game period is called a “chukka”. Design wise they are very much a variation of the classic British military desert boot just like the best bicycle seats are designed to support your backside.

These days the most common reincarnation of the chukka, would be the ones produced by Vans – which come in assorted materials and colours. Amidst all the variations however,  it’s difficult to find one that looks ‘classier’.

We came accross this one by PF Flyers, which is a classic American brand with it’s own interesting history which has been around since the 90′s.  We love the full grain leather and the contrast laces give it the modern touch. It’s sharp and classy. You can get it for about USD$90 from PFFlyers.com

We’ve looked at Sinn’s military U1 and U2′s before in the Utah classifieds, and we’ve really liked them. The German watchmaker, who released watches on the affordable side of the high-end european watches is continuing to grow it’s range with some really impressive pieces. This new piece caught our eye as it combines the minimal mono colour scheme of their previous pieces – with the technical beauty of a Pilots chronograph. The black PVD look completes it – giving it a tough but sophisticated look.

The case, in Tegimented Black Hard Coating stainless steel, measures 44mm x 15.5mm. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 200 meters. The caseback is nickel-free and features five conversion scalse for European and American units.

Swiss automatic ETA caliber Valjoux 7750 with 26 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 42 hours. Features GMT complication.

This one only just got announced, so we haven’t seen it in the flesh ourselves. We’d love to get our hands on one.

Electric bicycles are supposed to be the transportation saviour of mankind living in urban areas. However most attempts at these products, have been aesthetic nightmares – they just look rubbish, especially the light weight bike seats. While looking for e-bikes the other day, we came across something that looked better than anything we could have imagined.  Introducing the PG-Bikes BT-01 Blacktrail.

When the German based PG-Bikes sets out to build an electric bike, they don’t mess around. Although this technically is an electric bicycle, in some regions it may have to registered it as a motorcycle.

Constructed of lightweight carbon fiber, aerospace aluminum, titanium and magnesium, the BlackTrail BT-01 travels up to 100km/h with a 1.2 kilowatt motor embedded in its 20kg frame, and can carry you across 200kms on a single 2.5-hour charge. Manufactured by some guys in Germany called UBC who make stuff for Formula 1 cars. Amazing, yes. But the amazingness doesn’t come cheap. This is the fastest and most expensive electric bicycle in the world.

They are limiting production to 667 limited pieces will cost €59,500. Which, by the way, is about three times the price of a Ducati 1098.

Well, at least you can drool at the pictures and the video.

iPads are great and so are the restaurants in Boise, we at Degourget.com love them. As pretty as they are – they arent the most robust thing to carry around with you. And as much as they are good at browsing, they aren’t any good for working. Sometimes you just need to do some work. Sometimes you need a PC.

Enter Viliv, not a familiar name for most. But these guys have been making ultra mobile personal computers (UMPC’s) ever since the term was coined. And this little S5 premium is their latest entry.

It runs Windows 7, with a decent amount or RAM and disk space. It’s got a camera, GPS, full QWERTY keyboard and 6+ hours battery life. One thing that stands out about this unit, compared to most netbooks – is it can handle online video playback without much problems.

If you’re looking for the best truly portable Windows PC on the market, then this is it.

We love our modern timepieces, modern design doesn’t always chime in with simplicity. But this definitely takes timekeeping to a whole new level of simplicy and minimalism.

The SOLUS one-hand watch combines functional clarity and simplicity with a perfect overview. Thanks to its integrative form and extreme flatness, the SOLUS is unobtrusive and elegant in appearance. The lack of ornamental features is the result of a conscious decision to focus only on that which is absolutely essential: time itself. Being a one-hand watch, the SOLUS features only an hour hand. The hand and scale were specially developed for this type of display, and harmonize perfectly with one another.

We love the philosophy about this watch as well as it’s aesthetics. We also appreciate it’s robust, quality German build and finish. All the components of the watch are of high quality – a Swiss-made Ronda movement, vegetable-tanned calf nappa leather strap, sapphire glass.

For a reasonable €398, we’re going to order from here.

If you’ve ever walked around wishing your glasses could record the things you witness, then the gadget of your dreams is here. The You-Vision Video Glasses makes your dream a reality. They’ve got a super secret little camera built into the bridge that records full motion video at the push of a button.

It records at 640×480 which is pretty close to DVD resolution, and the manufacturers claim the batteries will last for 3.5 hours of recording. The glasses can store up to 5 hours of video.

They even look like a decent pair of specs, passers by would be none-the-wiser.

Let it be known that we love multi-tools. Leathermans, Gerbers, SOGs and of course the classic Swiss Army Knife. Every man needs a multi-tool. And this, is one of the sexiest ones we’ve ever seen.

But you wouldn’t expect any less from Porsche Design, who are indeed the same folks who make those fast cars. The design group has been around since the 70′s (under the name F.A. Porsche) and have been making tons of nice things.

This Swiss Army Knife is made for Wegner, who are one of the major Swiss Army Knife manufacturers. They also do some nice watches.

Wayfarers are a classic, and currently they are back in style. That doesn’t mean you have to shell out for some rereleases or some tacky neon knockoffs. You can get these black & clear acetate resin from Culter & Gross, which are handmade in Italy.

Each pair of Cutler & Gross frames comes with a high quality, durable leather hardcase and custom printed polishing cloth. We think they look amazing, classic and comfortable. These would look really nice with the Lanvin Deck Shoes for the complete high-end hipster look.
