The Accurate All Black Special Edition

The Accurate All Black Special Edition is a sleek reminder that life is short, so you’d better make the most of it. This particular model possesses a black face with white arms and a very simple message: “Remember (hour hand), You Will Die (minute hand). A little “ghoulish,” perhaps? Yes. But at the same time, what better way to convey the message that this thing is shooting for?

Think about the next time you could be doing something productive, and instead you’re sitting there in your recliner watching episode after episode of Married With Children. Look down at that watch, and let it motivate you to not be a Bundy.

Zayger Leathertime Watches

With Zayger Leathertime Watches, you get a timepiece that looks like pure grade-A leather thanks to a mixture of old school manufacturing and 3D printing technology. Every part of this thing looks like it belongs in the fancy office of a corporate executive. One of the best parts of the Zayger experience is that it affords you a number of different leather options.

Alligator/crocodile, lambskin, ostrich, python, shark and lizard – the choice is yours. Case material options include antique bronze, gold plated steel, polished gold and polished silver. Too many color options to list, though we’re kind of partial to the red that you see there in the pic. One can never have enough leather around!

Barrett Alley Smuggler’s Belt

With the Barrett Alley Smuggler’s Belt, you won’t be able to wait until the next time someone mugs you on the street. Think about it. Thieves never think to check anything beyond the pockets and the wallet. After that, they bop you on the head and move on. You walk away with a bump on the noggin and an empty wallet.

The Smuggler’s Belt, however fixes that problem by allowing you to carry all your greenbacks in the last place on earth that they will think to check! In all seriousness, this is the perfect choice for belt wear especially when you find yourself in unfamiliar territory. Signed, numbered, and boasting a hand-forged iron buckle, no one will suspect a thing!

EPICSTOKE Gentleman Wallets

EPICSTOKE Gentleman Wallets are for you guys who are sick and tired of your wallets looking like wallets. Oh, we’re not saying the company completely reinvents the wheel here, but they certainly bring a unique design sense to the equation. In fact, it looks like something a surfer might carry with him. Made from recycled billboard vinyl, it’s all kind of fitting since this bad boy calls attention to itself and makes no apologies for doing so.

Durable, thin, and as EPICSTOKE itself admits, “downright awesome,” the Gentleman Wallet has a place for your cards, your cash, and whatever else you like to carry along with you. All fitting neatly in the back of your pocket, though it’s lightweight enough not to feel burdensome. We don’t recommend taking this with you into the surf, though.

Hudson River Watch Company Collection

We feature a lot of watches on inStash, and no, it’s not on purpose. There are just some pretty sweet designs to choose from. But unlike most upstart watch companies, Hudson River Watch Company Collection gives you some pretty great-looking choices right out of the gate. In all, the collection has launched with 9 different looks. You can see all of them in the picture above.

Personally, we’re digging the green and black striped one, though not quite sure why since those were the team colors of my most hated high school football rival. Hm. Water under a bridge, I guess? Maybe I’ve matured! If so, it took a watch to show me the way. Thanks, guys. A bit more about some of the designs: one is based on a ship telegraph dial, two are based on vintage stopwatches, and one is based on a cigar humidor, and all are water resistant up to 150 feet, which is really deeper than any normal human being should go.

Articulate Wallets

Yours truly has owned his share of leather wallets, but most of them tend to wear easy and fall apart after a year or two. They’re quite limited as well in what they can carry – until now. Articulate Wallets are made of a soft leather and come in a variety of different color schemes. The straps inside will not limit you in the amount of cards you can carry. You can even fit a key inside.

To top it all off, there is a special pocket with a convenient thumb window that allows you to store and slide out your favorite card for easy use on a credit card machine. Shouldn’t help the speed of your spending, but it should make you much less of a nuisance to the rest of the folks in line.

Backbeat Leather Piano Belt

Belts are often the last thing this guy thinks about when he puts his pants on each day, but maybe if more of them looked like the offerings from Backbeat Leather, that would change. Today inStash features the company’s expert leather design and craftsmanship in the form of the Backbeat Leather Piano Belt, but if pianos aren’t your bag, never fret. There are lots of other designs to choose from.

The Piano Belt and many of the other offerings boast a musical theme that will light up the eyes of any man, who has ever picked up an instrument. Even those of us who are way too uncoordinated to make a living at it. If you’ve got any rockers in your life, you’ll want to give these a look.

Flask Tie

Here’s an item that would have come in very handy back in this guy’s days of teaching high school. Instead of sneaking whiskey into the coffee mug, I could have just used the Flask Tie and enjoyed my sips of George Dickel Rye in the most discreet manner possible. 

The Flask Tie gives you exactly what it advertises: a quality piece of neckwear that doubles as a drinking bladder for the beverage of your choice. By utilizing a mostly unseen, self-sealing bite valve on the back side of the tie, which in turn hooks to a six-ounce bladder system inside the material, you can sip away without fear of the fluid leaking out on your clothes.
