Gift suggestion: Band of Brothers Blu-Ray

Sorry for the break in postings. I've been busy moving house.
Here's something I recommend you get.

I've had this Band of Brothers blu-ray box set for a few weeks now, and I'm half-way through. If you've seen the series before, you know how good it is, but the added extras in the blu-ray version are quite amazing.

You can watch each episode in an interactive timeline mode which includes maps and other information.


Or you can watch it in "In the words of Easy Company" mode, where the original vets pop-up in picture-in-picture windows, and they explain quite a lot about what you are watching.

The picture-in-picture mode is incredible. It continually reminds you that what you are watching really happened.

Here's a ref link to buy it on Amazon

Herringbone

Bad news for Australian brand Herringbone.

Herringbone make world class men's clothing, and are probably the best Australian brand in men's clothing. My favourite work shirt is Herringbone.
I hope they can get through these troubles and still produce some great products in the future.

Distressed Cordovan

Augusta have some very interesting cordovan shoes and boots. I was going to call it "raw" because I don't think it is tanned, but the cordovan is treated/distressed which would make it the opposite of raw for denim.

I wonder if all this splotchy coloured (tortoise) cordovan might be the rejects from Alden etc. because it does not make the grade for their cigar shell?
