The Shelby Cobra was introduced 50 years ago, definitely a good reason for celebrations. Along with a 50th anniversary model, ofcourse! Amusingly, the 50 cars of this limited edition are decked out with all kinds of upgraded gear except for one thing: you have to provide your own engine, in true kitcar fashion.
Doane Paper is a homegrown type of combined grid and line paper that has grown popular among internet productivity geeks. They now come in vintage styled folio’s that rival moleskine for classic cool.
Zwilling’s Twin 1731 limited edition knife set is typical of why men are learning how to cook all over the world for the past decade or so - we get to play with toys like these.
Restoration Hardware builds furniture in the style of vintage 30’s/40’s aviation - big riveted sheets of metal combined with luxurious leather. Love the Rocketeer vibe it’s giving off!
Whipping Post Leather makes these amazing full-leather guitar cases - which are worth more than my guitar. *sigh*

Love this classy Handpresso outdoor picnic kit. Pull a perfect espresso shot for you and your girl, no matter where you’re enjoying nature.
Why do good looking turntables always have to cost so much money? We keep paying through the nose to play media that was outdated long before I was born. Still, love this Scout by VPI Industries…
The Denham Social Jacket is a mashup of WW2 military field jackets combined with vintage motorcycle jackets. That shouldn’t work - but it does. Very, very well.
When I’m a cranky old man I won’t complain about having to use a cane… as long as it can be a sword cane. And I get to go ninja on your ass.
Over the top, overdesigned, elitist yet classic boardgames are one of those one-trick ponies that never stop working on me. So this designer version of Scrabble… definitely hits the spot.
With the resurgence of ’80s nostalgia even TDK is getting a reboot as a ‘high quality audio brand’, apparently. Though they were never known for their turntables, this new beltdriven piece actually looks rather sweet! I wonder what it sounds like.
VooDoo Studios is the cheaper alternative to the expensive Makr cordovan wallets. Very nice collection with discounts if you mention Die Workwear’s tumblr (clickthrough link).
Makr’s popular slim flap wallet now comes made in hideously expensive and ultra desireable Cordovan leather.
Can’t really explain why, but the Balmain fall/winter collection really appeals to me this year. Something about the layering maybe?
About me
A 'rogues gallery' is a police collection of pictures or photographs of criminals and suspects kept for identification purposes. The term is also used figuratively by extension for any group of shady characters or the line-up of 'mugshot' photographs that might be displayed in the halls of a dormitory or workplace.-Wikipedia
A Veritable Rogues Gallery is my curated celebration of conspicuous consumption (read: list of stuff I'll never be able to afford).
It runs alongside my blog Style.over Substance, Flickr photo's, and Twitter account - amongst a variety of social networks.
