Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket – Taylor Stitch’s appreciation for finely made made goods had them turning to an archival favorite from San Francisco-based Golden Bear. With a hefty jacket in mind, the two brands embarked on a Moto Jacket that has all the trappings of a classic. Using 3.5 oz chrome-tanned, drum-drryed “Whiskey” steerhide, the jacket has a nice heft without the weight. The jacket is lined with a diamond quilted interior, features zig-zag stitching, antiqued brass zippers, and a bi-swing shoulder for mobility. The jacket is currently available for pre-order for $875, and will jump to a retail of $1,075 once it is available.

Canon EOS M3 – Canon’s been real slow to adopt micro 4/3 technology, and the EOS M series debut can be described as lackluster at best. Well, the recent M3 may serve as a testament to Canon’s perseverance. First off, this small interchangeable lens camera has the guts of the recently T6i jammed into it. It sports the same CMOS censor found in the best selling entry DSLR and arrives with strong low light performance, and Canon also upped the lens selection. The best way to approach the new M3 is that it’s an entry level DSLR with half the bulk.
