GUNS Clothing Shirts

Posted on January 19, 2013 by jransomla

It would be easy to say that these shirts are just another shirt, but, believe it or not they have been designed by an actual Rocket Scientist.  Owner and designer, Rishi Kumar, spent over a year and a huge amount of dough creating the perfect t-shirt.

Made from eco-friendly bamboo cotton, these t-shirts have the cut and fit you want as well as a leather trimmed collar to give it that rock and roll edge to show off your “guns” on each arm.  We love them – celebrities love them…  The guys from the TV show Sons of Anarchy, Rascal Flatts, and even Eddie Van Halen -

Big Guns or just fit Guns – they are a must have.  They look great by themselves or a stylish compliment under a leather jacket.

Posted on June 8, 2012 by jransomla

Father’s Day is approaching fast…  so if you need a gift for dear ol’ Dad, we have some great ideas.  We broke it down to help you choose…

If Dad is a business man and always needs a business card in hand, these Card Cases from Psycho Bunny are a great gift.  They are genuine Natural Oil Shell Cordovan which are handmade in Japan.

Now, almost every man loves cooking on the grill.  We love this product from ManGrate.    The cast-iron grate cooks the items on the grill evenly (no hot spot) and the ledges are designed to trap oils and fats to aid in the natural smoking process.  Also reduces flair ups!

For the Father that is a dapper dresser, we love these edgy cuff links from Malibu based Double Cross by Travis Walker.  Hand carved design out of .925 sterling silver, these intricate designs look amazing with french cuffed shirts.

My father is a baseball fan – so when I came across these Pilsner Glasses from Waterford Crystal they caught my eye.  The set of 4 glasses are a great gift with etched team logos on each.

For the man that has everything, a leather journal from KING BABY is always a great gift. Hand carved leather with sterling silver accents is a great way to go.  Carry it in a briefcase, your car, or just in the desk drawer, it is a great stylish place to keep your notes handy.

In my conversation with her about Spring Trends, Shelli said that it is all about the “POP OF COLOR” in a well dressed man’s outfit.  “Even if you are wearing a dark blue suit or just jeans, there is no reason you can’t have fun with it” Shelli states.  She recommends adding fun patterned Psycho Bunny socks to your wardrobe.

During the spring and summer nights you may still want to wear a light-weight cool jacket.  So to spice up your outfit, Shelli Moore recommends wearing something like this blue “STRYKER” jacket from JUNKER DESIGNS and a colorful t-shirt under it.

Shelli loves the combo of a Lightweight leather jacket and colorful shirt underneath (Both by JUNKER DESIGNS)

If black leather is more your style, use the “POP OF COLOR” in your t-shirt under the jacket.  Shelli loves this hot pink RA-RE – “Black Widow” t-shirt.

Try wearing a Pink shirt like this RA-RE Black Widow T-Shirt to get that POP OF COLOR.

What’s Cool to Me… BANKSY – Street Artist

Posted on May 24, 2012 by jransomla

Anonymous street graffiti artist, BANKSY, is very well known in his homeland England, but less talked about in the states.  That is before the Indie film “Exit Through The Gift Shop” which premiered at Sundance and later was nominated for an Academy Award.  This movie featured BANKSY and his art..

I loved his satirical street art, which mimic my somewhat dark humor from the start.  The first time I had a chance to see a piece in person was in Los Angeles.  A building (not far from my home) on Sunset Blvd. had caught on fire a few months back and was boarded up.  When returning home from the gym I saw the art and just laughed…

Banksy has just added a couple new photos of recent art on his website.  Here are a couple of my favorites….  enjoy!
