London luxury goods firm Dunhill has come out with a limited edition line of writing instruments made from meteorite and crushed black diamonds. The all-black Sentryman Meteorite Rollerball Pen for $1,100 features an innovative lacquer finish containing authentic crushed black diamonds and meteorite stone for a stunning effect. The clip and detailing is done in brass coated with a black PVD finish that matches perfectly with the lacquer and gives the piece a strong masculine appeal. The meteorite was sourced from the legendary fields of Campo del Ciel in the Gran Chaco Gualamba region of Argentina where interstellar stones were first discovered in 1576.

The new Fighter Provenance Fountain Pen from London-based luxury goods firm Dunhill does not take its name in vain: the limited edition writing instrument is made from the original aluminum engine casing taken from the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine of the legendary World War II Spitfire MK1 fighter plane. Produced in very small numbers due to the scarcity of the material, the pen’s details also reflect this iconic aircraft – the bolt and rivet effects in the original aluminum; the tapered edges echoing the aerodynamics; and a window feature on the side of the barrel displaying level of ink and even the pen clip design directly references the shape of the spitfire propeller. The cap is also created using plexiglass which is exactly the same material used for the bubble canopy of the late 1930′s and early 1940′s fighter planes. The pen nib is 18 carat gold with rhodium plating and the instrument is presented in a lacquered Alfred Dunhill display box.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas
From blog.mensfolio

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 17th this year and I’ve picked out some of the finest leather goods Dad will love.

Bottega Veneta Briefcase

Bottega Veneta briefcase
Your success today has everything to do with him providing the best for you. This Father’s Day, let him know that you want the best for him too with this luxurious Bottega Veneta briefcase made from the brand’s signature woven leather.

Louis Vuitton Clutch

A clutch bag is an accessory that I imagine only Dad will use. But if he’s carrying a Louis Vuitton Epi clutch, I can give up all my reservations. Dad can tuck this handsome bag under his arm or sling it across his wrist. Either way he’ll look stylish. What I love is the combination of the scratch-resistant Epi leather and the brass locking push closure. They are just meant for each other.

Mulberry Trifold Wallet

Mulberry leather walletThis trifold wallet by Mulberry fits nicely in his favorite shirt’s front pocket.

The simplicity of its design brings out the character of Mulberry’s distinctive Darwin leather. And it reminds Dad of your relationship with him – simple and understated.

dunhill Sidecar fountain pen

If Dad’s an avid pen collector, get him the limited edition dunhill Sidecar Leather fountain pen. Only 1893 pieces of this exquisite jewelry are produced. Not many writing instruments out there are wrapped in leather. And this is not just any leather. It’s dunhill’s signature Sidecar leather – masculine, durable and a true classic.

Cartier Santos Belt

Cartier Santos beltIf Dad owns a Cartier Santos watch, this is the belt to get him. If Dad doesn’t own a Cartier Santos watch, this is also the belt to get him. The belt is available in gold and palladium so you can actually pick the one that matches the watch. If he doesn’t own a Santos watch, get him the one in gold. It’s going to be a classic.

dunhill d-eight blackWill embossing the d-eight motif on the coated canvas ensure the longevity of dunhill’s d-eight collection? We think it will. This business card holder from dunhill’s new d-eight Black collection is bold, masculine and distinct and still does its job of holding a generous stack of business cards very well.

Mont Blanc leather belt
At the request of many of our customers, we have added Belts to our selection of small leather goods. Currently we are only offering Mont Blanc belts but very soon, you will see ST Dupont, Cartier and dunhill belts added to the selection. Check out our Belt section now.

The Classicist: Seeing Out the Season in Style with the Mercedes-Benz G550
While in some parts of the country spring may already have sprung, here on the Eastern Seaboard we’re still months away from cherry blossoms and G&Ts. In some ways this is the toughest time of the year – we’re worn down from a long winter, yet the snow keeps falling – and it requires some tough gear to get through it in style. A key comfort of course is a vehicle that can not only handle the elements but keep them firmly in their place, while keeping you warm, dry and wrapped in luxurious refinement. We’ve yet to experience anything that can turn the worst ice storm of the year into a minor inconvenience with as much impressive panache as the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen. Not everyone loves its spartan exterior and sheer tonnage – just shutting the doors requires serious effort – but they’re usually the same people who “swear by” their tin can minivans; we saw them stranded on the side of the road as we cruised by in the G550 on our most recent Gelndewagen excursion.

Meticulously handcrafted inside and out at a special manufacturing facility in Graz, Austria, the military-derived G-Wagen is the progenitor of every Mercedes-Benz SUV on the road today. Essentially unchanged aside from certain key upgrades since it was first introduced over 30 years ago, it’s done everything from winning the famous Paris-Dakar Rally to making sure the Pope gets to his appointments on time. With a starting sticker of $105,000 it’s definitely something of an indulgence, but that helps maintain a certain exclusivity which is not without an appeal of its own. Only a few thousand models are sold here every year so you don’t often see another one en route; while that means a certain amount of stares directed your way, unless you get one custom-painted bright red – it’s only offered in an understated palette of black, grey, silver, white and dark green – those tend to be minimal as it’s about as subtle as an SUV this size can get.

To help see out the season in style we have assembled a number of items which complement the G-Wagen’s rugged good looks and provide essential assistance before, during and after the journey. For starters we selected a lightweight, trim-fitting down bomber jacket by Ralph Lauren Black Label (above left), made of supple goat suede with a leather throat latch and gunmetal hardware. The most stylish weather defender we’ve seen all season, it’s the G-Wagen of outerwear. On the wrist we sported the new limited edition Breitling Transocean Chronograph (above right), a high-performance, shock-resistant, and damned good-looking watch on a mesh steel strap, while waxed canvas hunting boots from L.L. Bean Signature kept our feet warm and dry.
