The Ursula Suit

Mr Williams writes: “The Ursula suit is a coveted British WWII artifact made expressly for Lieutenant Commander George Phillips (pictured above c.1939) and the crew of the submarine HMS Ursula. Mr. Phillips was unhappy with water stopping ability of the issued Navy kit, so he took matters into his own hands and commissioned Barbour to make what would become the famous (and standard issue) Ursula Suit.”

Save the Wayfarer!

Mr. Welch writes: Because we can’t turn on the internet without being bombarded with jackass indie rock poseurs and semi-famous Hollywood trend-mongers “rocking” Wayfarers, this morning we fight back with this photo of JFK from the early 1960’s. Wayfarers are timeless and near-perfect and we’re not going to let Mischa Barton ruin what Jack, Bob Dylan, and Risky Business started.
