Weekender: Crotches, Beckham, Peacocking, and Tomahawks

We've got links galore. Seeing as the work week is pretty much over, make it look like you're being productive with this "research." Oh, and there's even some sale intel at the end. Ch-ch-check it.

• An Aussie's read on the dilemma of American pants: The nation needs to tighten up the crotch a bit.  [Park & Bond]

• Turns out, David Beckham is a pretty down to earth guy. Talented athlete, stand-up husband, caring father and...underwear designer. Mr. Blasberg sheds some light on these skivvies. [Mr. Blasberg]

• "I look like an apple left in the back of the van for all of July." Also, does the fist-to-elbow really work for people? Some relatively insightful thoughts on age, personal style and what goes with that. (Raises glass) To Peacocking! [via Selectism]

• Do you know the key to recovery after bawling your eyes out so it looks like you never did? Let someone your younger sister's age tell you the facts, friends. I mean, not that you're crying or anything. [RookieMag]

• Savannah Kvist asked Swedish college students to cram everything they own in a pile. The sculptures were fascinating and brings a question to mind, "Could I do that?" Yes, I do actually. Just look in my room right now. [Inhabit]

Psst: Sale! The dudes at Huckberry are at it again (as they are every week). Here's what's up now:

• KNIVES. These are dope. The designer at Big Rock Forge designs and smelts these babies himself. Get 'em. 
• TOMAHAWKS. From Base Camp X. For 10% off. I mean, come on.
• CAMPING GEAR. Are you sensing a theme yet? This time 24–40% off from Alite Designs. Get some.

This stuff ends on Tuesday, April 3. Move fast.

Friday Wrap-Up: Baby Pictures

Welcome to Friday. We'll be spending the weekend at this place, because we heard there's a big party there. You should probably come, too.

You may recall that I posted a personal style history a couple of weeks ago that referenced a lost red baseball cap. I found it. Well, pictures of it. Look at those steezed-out suspenders.

Now that's over, here's some salmagundi we found around the 'Net:

• Ryan Plett launches a new blog, Travel Well. (via GQ Style)
• Would you wear this underwear? It says something about "keyhole technology," which scares me. Also, I'm not sure I can trust someone who says it's "comfotable." (via MyPakage)
• How to pose for pictures. (via Park & Bond)
• A look at the Quoddy workshop (via A Continuous Lean)
• Secret Forts gets a new website. (via Secret Forts)
• "This is the one thing we do that we feel can really change the world we live in. You can't buy everything made in America, but if you try, you can come close. If history has taught us anything, it's that this great country of ours will be in even more trouble than it already is if we don't support the work of our fellow Americans." A short but thoughtful interview with Imogene+Willie about the beauty of American-made denim. (via Refueled Magazine)

Okay, that's all. Now get outta here!
