We were so excited to find a sneaker brand with not only an incredible design but also an amazing story. Novesta is still located in its original production facilities dating back to the late 1930s. They're handmade in the small town of Partizánske in the middle of Slovakia. They truly are one of the last purely European produced footwear brands in Europe. On top of that, they continue to manufacture shoes according to the highest environmental standards. The design on these puppies is inspired by military sports shoes that were manufactured in Slovakia for half a century.
Our favorite features include the military-inspired canvas, the larger eyelets, the Tramky stamp, and most importantly that waffle pressing on the vulcanization. We're so excited to introduce Novesta to you guys

Vegan materials and construction.
Natural rubber sole is machine-pressed onto the 100% cotton canvas body of the shoe.
Signature chunky sole with tire-tread vulcanization marks.
Anatomical insole provides increased comfort.
Design is inspired by the military sports shoes that were manufactured in Slovakia for half a century.
Outsole carries the signature 'Trampky' logo which marks each pair as a descendant of the true Slovakian people's shoe

We're finding that going down a half to full size is working for most people. We have been using Red Wing as a reference point, and they seem to be comparable in European Sizing. If you take your normal size, you will probably have too much room "volume" wise. Both Zach and I had to go down from our traditional athletic sneaker size.

Dehen - Wool Knit Watch Cap - Loden
Releasing Saturday, October 30th at 2pm EST
We knew the instant we laid hands on these watch caps that they were coming home to the shop. The ability to wear them both single cuffed and double cuffed is a huge selling point. Dehen has used their tried and true infamous knitting machines for these, but with an alternative stitch for a softer hand feel. Notice the zig-zag stitch at the top of the cuff...one of the most appealing details in our opinion.

The Folding Pocket Comb one is for the adventurers. The Kent 20T features only finer teeth, but it makes for a nice refining comb (I use it mostly on my mustache). It’s a great on the go comb for those fidgeters who like to break the teeth off their combs.

James Dant - Helmsman Beard Butter
*** This item is only available for shipping for half of the year. During transit, it will melt, going from its butter form to a liquid during the heat of late spring, summer, and early fall. Therefore, this item is currently only available to pick up at our physical location during that time. ***
The development of our beard butter was driven solely by need. As most of you bearded dudes know, dry skin is the bane of our existence sometimes. Because our beard balm started as an all-over body treatment it has completely different side effects than most balms you see on the market. The cocoa butter, Shea butter, and coconut oil form a base completely different than most oils. While oils are best at treating hair, this bad boy whips your skin into shape. Our butter HAS NO SHAPING PROPERTIES. When applied as a final layer it leaves a nice sheen, but it was never meant to hold your beard in place. Whipped into a butter-like substance, (making it really easy to use), our beard balm REALLY works and is sure to keep your skin healthy, especially during that “itchy stage” you’ve heard so much about
On a very strange night, after drinking like a sailor & finding refuge in a bed, not of his own, the owner of James Dant had a very peculiar dream.  With days filled creating scents & tending to the shop like a mad man, such dreams weren't as rare as one might imagine; however, this one happened to stand out above the rest, bringing the "Helmsman" to life, influencing its name, deep blue color scheme, and anchor emblem.  Based on all things seafarers may encounter, the "Helmsman" is a little bit beach, with a splash of the sea.  It's a pirate drinking rum & a sailor scrubbing the deck.  It's a crack of spice and a tiny hint of sweetness.
Disclaimer: These beard oils melt above 80˚; therefore, from sometime in July to sometime in September, we must take them off our website. The product will melt in shipment and could potentially create a huge mess upon opening the oil. If they are put in the freezer the product will solidify, but loses all of its fluffy texture people enjoy so much. If you would still like us to ship your product, reach out and we will make special arrangements to get the product to you.

O ne of our longest-standing products is that way for a reason. Hudson Made has produced the perfect combo of beard wash and shave soap.

Moonstar - Gym Classic Sneaker - Blue
We’ve admired Moonstar from a distance for some time now. The story of the Moonstar factory in Kyusyu, Japan is now one of legend. The attention to detail and fine crafting is unmatched in the industry. As we made our transition from solely a boot company to sneakers, we knew we must have the best. The process of ka-ryu or vulcanization has been perfected in their factory in Kurume since the companies inception in 1873. The canvas uppers are sewn slowly with precision while the rubber strips and soles are carefully inlaid to prepare for their infamous vulcanization process. The shoes are heated to 120° for 70 minutes making the rubber soft and gummy for your walking pleasure. These gym classic lows are a truly iconic look, especially if you show a little ankle. You won’t stop being surprised by the quality, longevity, and features of these shoes. The blue version might just be the shoe you've been waiting for all your days.

Rubber Foxing
Rubber Toe Gaurd

Inner Seam Piping
Rubber Toe Cap
Ka-Ryu Vulcanization
Textured Herringbone Soles for Grip
Hand Painted Rubber Adhesive for Longevity
Sturdy, No-Nonsense, Cotton Laces

Fit Notes: So here's the skinny. People get very confused about sizing, and the best way we know to remedy that is by comparing them to other shoes. These shoes are known to run pretty true. You can size down but you'll most likely feel the squeeze of the rubber toe cap if you do. Take your typical Converse Chuck 70 and stick with that. If you land in between at an 8.5, take the next size up to a 9. Shop owner Tommy is wearing size 9's in the pictures. *He is typically an 8.5 in Converse. In Red Wing, he wears an 8 in almost every last.*  Without an additional orthotic insole, he can wear a size 8 from SLP, but with an insole and thicker socks, he wears a size 9. So, essentially if you were to take these shoes out of the box, and slip them on with no sock and no insert, you're going to go with your true Red Wing boot size which may mean sizing down if you're an in-betweener. If you plan to wear your Chups or thick wool socks with these, you'll be able to size up! That's the best we've got on these and we hope it helps. Reach out with any questions.

Shoes Like Pottery - Low Sneaker - Mustard
Shoes Like Pottery, made in the same factory as Moonstar, is done slow and steady - like the process of hand throwing, glazing, and firing pottery. The kiln they use to vulcanize the rubber is very similar in nature to the one used in the process of ceramics. The foxing surrounding the shoe even reminds us of some patterns we’ve seen in our favorite potters' clay-work. These were intentional. The name means what it says. A slow process of stitching, wrapping, molding, and firing gives these shoes a foundation you’ll be able to stand on for a long time. The beauty in the aesthetics of the shoes means more in that way, at least to us. Voting with your dollars is the perfect intersection of sensory pleasure and storytelling. The two waves flow through the universe in parallel only crossing paths on rare occasions. We specialize in curating those occasions, and so does Shoes Like Pottery. The Mustard is a nice Spring/Summer touch that truly adds a kick of sunshine to your wardrobe.

By popular demand, we decided to develop a third scent. The "Deviant” took the longest of all our scents to develop. It's rich, it's pungent, it's floral...but the dudes love it and the ladies love it almost as much. Even with it being our all-time best seller, we can't explain it. The scents came together in some "Big Bang" type conundrum and gave us the gnarly SOB. It will fill your nose with the bite of geranium and then bring you back in with the sweetness of cardamom, all the while leaving you feeling like the deviant you know you are.

Knickerbocker - Watch Cap Type II - Natural
At first, we didn't know what it was people loved about these beanies so much...but then we tried them on. Instantly we understood...plus the fact that they're made in the USA! We've seen so many watch caps over the lifetime of the business, so to impress like that is a feat - and they do. We snagged some of these to cap off (haha) the winter and fully expect them to disappear like the last. They're some of the best gd beanies in the world.

Five to Three Gauge Knit

One size fits most. These are more of a skull cap fit when worn rolled up. They don't require a second roll to sit just on top of the ears.

LM Leather Goods x James Dant - Snap Wallet - Anniversary Tan
One of the things that you guys proved to us this last year is that you love our leather good collaborations with LM Leather Goods. Tyler is such an amazing human being and hard working 3rd generation leather maker. The snap wallet was our most popular leather last year. For this 7 Year Anniversary round, we went full-grain American with this shiny, almost translucent, and ready-to-patina leather from Wickett & Craig. We can't wait to see you guys make these wallets even more beautiful.
We use these wallets for everything: business cards, credit cards, extra cash, coin pouch, etc... They're an awesome back or front pocket wallet, and the snap gives you a unique fade. It's almost like you've been carrying around a miniature envelope with a button on the inside.

The "Explorer” is a fragrance that transports you from home to a tropical island, dropping you into a swirling coastline breeze, & walking alongside you on a rainforest trek. The notes of grapefruit mixed with the sweetness of vanilla and muskiness of frankincense allow each bearded man to infer his own sense of adventure. We develop each scent to transport you to another time or place and hope you enjoy our sincere attempt at conveying nostalgia.

Another comb from Kent that’s probably best for the medicine cabinet. This big boy is not the most pocket friendly, but it is perfect for serious bearders and pomade wearers.

Freenote - Classic Trucker Jacket - One Rinse Denim
This jacket has been on our list for a while. We have always loved the CD-1. In raw denim, it takes quite a bit of time to break in. Not anymore. The rinsed Yoshiwa Mills denim is a peach. It feels amazing from the get and the indigo pops really nicely in the sun. This puppy has so many wonderful details. The crunchy denim is accompanied by their classic zigzag stitch on the placket, hand waremer pockets, and custom metal hardware. This is definitely one of those holy grail denim truckers.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a small in this piece. He typically wears smalls from Freenote, except for on rare occasions. Ultimately, the CD-1 fits most of our customers true to size. We recommend going TTS. Tommy is 5'10," 170lbs with a 40" chest.

On more and more consistent occasions, Zach and I are able to get our hands on product to give it a test run before bringing it into the shop. In this case, it was the 21oz version of these sneakers. My god, did they impress. To be honest, the duck was our first choice - it goes with everything. But being denim heads, we wanted to try the selvedge first. Well, now that we have our hands on the duck, it's going to be a tough choice every day. After bringing in Moonstar earlier this year, we've been hooked. And now we have a custom, top-notch variation of it in the form of the low-top Iron Heart sneaker.

Imperial Bergamot After-shave

This larger comb is a nice “leave at home” piece. It is fairly large and not the best for keeping in your pocket, but it’s great for thick coarse hair because of it’s wide thick teeth but also for refining that thin hair. It’s basically the oversized infamous OT pocket comb.

RGT - SK - Neppy Denim Selvedge
DENIM // 14oz Sanforized Neppy Left Hand Twill Selvedge from Nihon Menpu in Japan
FIT // Skinny Leg, Mid-Rise
After 3 years, our favorite Neppy Fabric is back. We weren't playing around this time. The left-hand twill is too good. Crazy enough, the modern looking fabric is actually a nod to the first brand to do left hand twill - Lee. This one is just a little more neppy. The denim by nature is comfy from the jump. It feels like its been rinsed, but it is in fact raw and will give you wonderful fades. They'll just be a little different and more historically accurate. We're talking a more even fade with plenty of highs and lows. Snatch these up quick. They won't last long.

Signature hidden pen pocket
Signature “lasso” stich on back pockets
Branded button caps on waistband
Natural herringbone hand silk-screened pocket bags (with royal blue this time)
Single needle continuous stitch on waistband
Belt loops sewn into the waistband
Hand branded leather patch
Handmade in downtown Los Angeles, Calif.

Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 30 in these. He normally wears a size 31 but had to size down to get a slimmer fit. In future try ons he was able to get a size 29. According to Karl from RGT, these will stretch easily because they're a left hand twill. So tightness is good.

Iron Heart - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
We've always had eyes for the 21oz denim from Iron Heart. We were asked over and over when we would get their iconic denim - the one they are known for. Well, it's here and its an awesome fit. The 666 is built for guys who like a trim look but still want to fit their boots underneath. The difference between this and the first run we got is that you actually have some room to break these bad boys in. We're not usually the one for wider cuts, but damn do these things make sense with a little extra room. The added value of the one rinse is beyond words. For a 21oz, you won't find softer denim on the market.
Their slim straight jean is made with a low/medium rise, constructed from their signature super heavy, but super soft 21oz indigo selvedge Japanese denim. This denim is where it all started for Iron Heart, and the 666 "Devil's Fit" a perennially popular cut.
