Jahn Hall and Kurt Uhlendorf are the two masterminds behind BKLYN Dry Goods. They have a combined 30+ years of retail/fashion experience and it certainly shows in their brilliant taste. BKLYN Dry Goods features some of the best vintage finds around and their pop-up shops are always the best party in town. Below Hall showcases some of their favorite items for this holiday season. Enjoy!
1. BKLYN Dry Goods x Loren Cronk Kit Bag, edition of 12 – $225 
Made from antique selvedge sugar beet sacks found in Utah & vintage leather belts found in NYC, the Kit Bag, made in Greenpoint, takes inspiration from military helmet bags. WIth three exterior pockets, one interior pocket & a Riri two-tone zip, the Kit Bag’s exterior is actually made from in the rubberized interior of the sugar beet sack making it indestructible. Well, damn near close. Available from 12/10/11 via BKLYN Dry Goods at Deck the Halls NYC.
2. OUTLIER Storm King Parka – $675 
Made in Vancouver of Supermarine Cotton, Outlier’s near impermeable Storm King Parka is a full rethinking of the classic rain shell. Made from a extremely durable, long-staple Egyptian cotton, the Storm King ditches the notion that a bad-ass foul weather parka can’t be soft & cozy. Available in Black, Cobalt & Anthracite & boasting taped seams & full-sleeve ventilation, Outlier’s go-to rain shell looks as good on the trail as it does over a blazer.
3. Chicks with Guns by Lindsay McCrum – $50 
While the title of Chicks with Guns suggests some vintage dog-eared collection of bikini clad women & AK-47s (a Google search confirms this assumption) this hard covered tome dedicates itself to a far more diverse cross-section of women (think moms, daughters & the occasional girl worth introducing to mom & dad) with their guns through a series of incredibly compelling portraits shot by Lindsay McCrum. One part tasteful expose of women & their firearms, one part “damn, that girl with that gun is kinda’ hot”. Available at Modern Anthology (68 Jay Street in DUMBO)
