BENCH AND LOOM


In the three years since the last Legend of the Motorcycles Concours, anyone lucky enough to have attended or participated has asked the same questions; 'will there be another' and 'what are Jared Zaugg and Brooke Roner going to do next?'

They've been working hard as always, and now the fruits of their effort are revealed, in the online concept store Bench and Loom.   Alongside a continuing selection of excellent menswear and cool gear, a 'Specialty Shop' will rotate bi-monthly with a particular theme, and a curated selection of goods related to that theme.  The first Specialty is the 'Motoring Shop', on which one can buy a $250,000 Brough Superior Pendine, a pair of deerskin riding gloves for $52, a Ruby helmet, or a Conrad Leach print.  The website isn't a typical online store, as it has interesting content besides stuff for sale, and is worth a look, even if you can't whip out your Amex platinum for the Brough...

Jared and Brooke are part of the reason I started The Vintagent 5 years ago, and I wish them all luck and prosperity in their new endeavor.
