What’s hot this week in men’s fashion, gadgets, and gear

This weekly feature is a round-up, in conjunction with our friend Tim over at Cool Material, of the hot new products appearing online this week. From fashion tips to cool gadgets and gear, take a look at your new obsessions.

Gas Caps

Vintage Licence Plate Hats
We’re not going to pretend like we understood the idea of tossing old license plates on the front of some ball caps when we heard it, but we can say, after seeing them, they look pretty damn sweet. Each hat features a different license plate from days gone by.

Nadir

Nadir Watch tells Time Differently
This watch has a 40mm face. It’s made of black IP stainless steel attached to a black leather band. It’s unisex. It’s horologically “murdered out.” It looks really good. And yet, all of that is less important than the inside out way it tells time.

Kickstarter

Mini Desktop Museum
In your search for random trinkets to make your workspace unique, you’ve probably come across a few that have helped catch the attention of your fellow cube dwellers. None of these even come close to the attention-grabbing ability of the Mini Museum.

Cool Material Shop

Stainless Steel Growler
Nothing can beat drinking fresh beer straight from the source. Hop notes sing, fruity touches are vibrant, and the beer is like a different beast altogether. Of course, unless you live at a brewery (we’ve considered it), having that beer all the time is impossible.

KillSpencer

KillSpencer iPad Mini Carrying Pouch
If you have an iPad Mini, this Killspencer Tan Bridle Leather Pouch will make it even easier thanks to its two business card holders and a horizontal pocket for a cable, cash, or stylus. Each one is made with Wickett + Craig English bridle leather, and it’s available in five color options.

The Furies

The Furies Throwing Knives
We can’t think of any serious reason to own a set of throwing knives, but that doesn’t make us want to purchase The Furies from Base Camp X any less. Two frontier inspired throwing knives, along with a ProX Throwing Thrower, make up the collection that will “make you an expert hurler in no time.”

Samsung

Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo
The new Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo sport improved battery life – should be between 2-3 days on a charge – along with a new Tizen operating system (hence the lack of “Galaxy” in the product name).

MakeMonkey

The MakeMoney Clip Gives the Money Clip a New Look
You might not be making any extra money with The Makemoney clip, but you will be making some heads turn. The smart little money holster is small and unobtrusive but sharp enough to draw some attention.
