Thrillist Chicago
Friday July 30, 2010

Best of the Best
It's a hot summer in the city, so help yourself to a Lovin'
Spoonful of Thrillist's July's best


Emailed to Thrillist Nation: Big Rock Forge
Run out of the deep woodlands of northern Wisconsin, BRF's a
bladesmithing operation helmed by a celebrated nature
photographer (commissioned by the BBC to shoot for Planet
Earth) who's taken to turning out a variety of cutlery he
describes as "in the form of traditional, functional, yet
beautiful tools", which also happens to be the rubric used
by casting directors for the Real World.
The revolution is coming. Arm yourself.

Emailed to Austin: Hamilton Shirts
Established in 1883, this Houston bespoke dress-shirt maker
has just unleashed their first ready-to-wear collection,
giving the ability to bask in their legendary craftsmanship
to the impatient/poor.
These things look so good you'll want to shirt yourself

McGee, Lubriphonic, and Buckwheat Zydeco, a far superior act

Emailed to Dallas: Vintage Action Figures
This bare-bones Lakewood storefront deals all manner of
manly collectibles, from literally hundreds of G.I. Joes &
first-gen Transformers to Star Wars action (including spare
weapons and random BS like a Degobah "Snake Accessory") to
rarities like a 1986 Schwarzenegger-as-Commando. Remember
when you said you'd never buy another action figure? You lied.
You deserve to get a little action for once

Emailed to Washington D.C.: Critical Past
A searchable stockpile of over 57,000 videos and 7 million
images, recently-launched CP's essentially a YouTube for
everything old and historical, featuring everything from
footage of an 1898 snowball fight in NYC, to copious reels
of WWII military training/pageantry/combat, to two lions
pulling a cart at the LA Zoo before seeing a bear, then
deciding to freak out and wreck the cart, proving that lions
should probably not be used to pull carts. When bears are
around. Otherwise, they looked really strong.
Your future is bleak, so head back in time

Emailed to Atlanta: Get My Bootlegger
Continuing the recent proliferation of semi-brilliant
hooch-smuggling devices, NC-originated Bootlegger's a
stretchy fabric mini-bottle concealer that fits tightly
around your ankle, turning your leg into a booze-revolver
carrying six one-ouncers to "save you tons of cash in the
long run", though after downing all six you'll probably
struggle to make even a short walk.
Start smuggling hooch Capone-style
