In the last decade of summers, more and more tourists have pushed farther down Long Island until, invariably, they've arrived at its end: Montauk. We set out to Montauk to talk to six locals -- a policeman, a teacher, a surfer, a scenester, a fisherman and a retiree -- about why and how Montauk is changing.

Think of an empty suitcase like an empty stomach. With nothing nothing inside, it's screaming to be filled. And you will. You'll pack it with any old junk you find laying around (it will be junk, because no one makes responsible decisions under that kind of duress). Afterwards, when you think back on the calorific meal you chomped down or the back-busting bag you just hauled through the airport, you'll be filled with regret. Overblown? Maybe a little, but the premise stands. A weekend a...

The 6-inch Postman is based on a shoe that's the very definition of classic, a shoe that debuted in the '50s and was standard issue footwear for both policemen and postal workers. Even more impressive is that the shoe continued to be on sale for 46 years and sold a whopping 2,000,000+ pairs, one of the best selling models in the company's history.

Today, Red Wing has modeled a new style of that design with their 6-inch Postman, a well-constructed, black boot you simply can't go wrong with. The upper is crafted in Black Chapparal leather and sits on a cushioned crepe wedge sole.

As much as we'd like to keep our wallets as light as possible, many people around the world still rely on a palm full of coins to get through the day. Now, there aren't a lot of wallet options that accommodate this need, but Bellroy has come through with a slimmer wallet option that gives you the best of everything: the slimness of a card case, the utility of a billfold, and of course, a pocket for all your change. 

If you're an international traveller then you know exactly how much the rest of the planet still loves their pocket change. Bellroy's new wallet is ideal for those scenarios with room for all your cards, cash, and a clever pouch to give you quick access to all your coins. It also has a flap to keep it all secure and it even has a sim card pocket to store an extra card for your travels. 

$100, Bellroy

Brad Pitt needs no introduction: women want him and even more, men want to be him. While he's come a long way since his boyish violence in 'Fight Club' and as a suffering demi-god in 'Troy', he remains quite the victor in the wardrobe. Rocking long hair, a buzz cut or that killer army shave from 'Fury', Pitt is - and was - one of the past three decade's biggest style icons. Not just his hair, but his clothes too. Let's take a closer look at how to score his style. Breaking It Down B...

Yamaha is getting in on the retro-style action with a new two-wheeled machine that pays homage to the original XS650 and brings that heritage look into 2015. The bike builds on the "Faster Sons" retro concept bike that was created in collaboration with motorcycle legend, Shinya Kimura. 

What powers the bike is anything but classic, the bike sits on the latest Yamaha technology with a 700cc inline 2-cylinder engine which is complemented by a 270-degree crank and a lightweight chassis with a total wet weight that comes in at just 410 lbs. 

The bike comes in Forrest Green or Garage Metal and features two-texture leather seating, aluminum fuel tank, fenders, and headlight brackets, mesh side panels, and of course, a whole host of customization options are available. The bike will hit European showrooms in November, no word yet on when it'll come to the States.

A Knife Life Trailer

Our friend Gianluca – who directed O’Mast, among many other things – has a new documentary coming out on G. Lorenzi, a famous, near-century-old Milanese shop for knives and fine accessories. They unfortunately closed down last year, much to the dismay of many. We shot part of our second season at the store and Jesse once called it the most amazing shop he’s ever visited. 

At the moment, Gianluca is working out the details for the film’s distribution, but he tells us that he can set up a pre-order for the DVD if people are interested. I’ve already told him I’m ready to place an order and you can to by emailing him here.

You should own a toolbox—that's a given. But unless you've inherited a load of tools from some handy relative, acquiring the right stuff is easier said than done. And no one wants to feel inadequate when a buddy or father-in-law asks to borrow a tool. So we called David Frane, Editor of Tools of the Trade magazine and former carpenter and furniture maker, to get his advice on how to assemble the perfect toolbox.

We spoke with surf and adventure photographer Chris Burkard about his new gallery in Avila Beach.

Saving Face: The Magical World of Facial Wipes

Maybe it’s because I’m a Canadian living in California, but I absolutely can’t stand being hot. For the brutal, swamp-like conditions we’ve been having lately, keeping a few facial wipes on hand can be a lifesaver. Just a few quick swipes and you’ll instantly feel refreshed and clean – not to mention, look a lot better too. 

Most facial wipes on the market are aimed at women, although my sneaking suspicion is that they’re actually pretty gender neutral. If you’re looking for something that’s specifically non-gendered, I’ve used Ursa Major. They tout having a special “four-in-one facial tonic formula,” which supposedly lifts oils off your face without throwing your skin’s pH balance. I don’t know about all that. They feel the same as any other facial wipe I’ve used, although they’re lightly scented and come in better looking packages. The downside? They’re kind of expensive. 

For something cheaper, there’s Total Refresh. They come in both scented- and non-scented options, although I find they all leave a powdery finish (which is not so great). Plus, rather than being individually packaged, they come in big packs. Great if you’re trying to be environmentally conscious, but less so if you want to carry these in your jacket pocket. 

My favorite so far is Dickinson’s, which is a basic, individually-packaged wipe that mostly relies on a mixture of witch hazel and aloe. They’re non-scented, non-powdery, and they nicely wipe oils away without leaving your skin feeling dry. Best of all, they’re affordable at $7.50 for a pack of twenty. Find them on Amazon or at your local drug store. 

Bonus: Along with being useful for the summer, these are great on long trips. Bring one along with you on a long flight, so you can freshen-up mid-way through.
