Just Incase

Certain products make our lives more efficient or better.  Incase does both.  This San Francisco based firm believes in “a better experience through good design”, and we here at The Manual, couldn’t agree more.

Plainly said, InCase has something for everybody.  Their bags, in addition to their mobile phone and tablet cases, make getting to the gym or away for a weekend, that much cooler.  They also stock a variety of chargers and colorful cables, so that you can always identify yours in the pile at the office, or at a friend’s house (you know that pile in a friend’s living room at a party).

Creative Director of Incase, Moses Aipa, grew up in Hawaii, where he attended one of the nation’s finest schools, Kamehameha.  Upon graduating with a joint-degree from University of San Francisco/California College of Arts, it’s no surprise that Moses is designing some of the most functional, yet form-forward products in the market today.

Most well known for their designs for all of your Apple products, they have also become quite well known for their recent collaborations with Warhol, Stussy, and Paul Rodriguez.

They also have a great new campaign called ‘RELEAFED’ where you can send in your old iPhone case and get $15 towards the purchase of a new one.

From artists work, bold colors or sleek tone-on-tone accessories, your options to express yourself with your tech gadgets, to a bag for a weekend getaways, are far more than just black.

Smaller Citizen Tsuyosa timepieces
Citizen Tsuyosa 37mm

Smaller case sizes are trendy, and every brand wants a piece of the pie.

Citizen just rolled out new Tsuyosa timepieces, designed to keep up with the changing times. While the brand worked on 40 mm Tsuyosa watches, it is now downscaling the size, just a little bit, to 37 mm. Thanks to its striking colors, the Tsuyosa collection has dominated the industry in the past two years. Well, this is the perfect time to take over again with a watch that has a compact size. Even though this watch is smaller than the 40 mm version, it still sits perfectly on the wrist.

Sorel, Madeira, and bourbon? Bardstown says yes with this Manhattan riff
This unusual recipe shows off the French Oak finish of a fine bourbon
Bardstown Bourbon Communion Cocktail

Bardstown is going bold with its latest cocktail offering --  the drink stars the bourbon brand's new release, its Cathedral French Oak bourbon. It also makes use of Sorel Liqueur, a hibiscus-flavored liqueur inspired by the traditional Caribbean tea drink. Hibiscus is a great ingredient to incorporate into cocktails, as it has both a sharp, berry-like quality and a floral softness, and Sorel incorporates ingredients like ginger, cassia, and cloves as well as hibiscus to give the liqueur a spicy note.

There's also Maderia in this cocktail, which is a much-maligned wine style but one that's becoming increasingly popular in cocktail circles, where its fortified nature and bold sweetness make it an interesting substitution for vermouth. In fact, this cocktail is really a kind of Manhattan variation, with bourbon rather than rye, the addition of a floral liqueur, and the use of Maderia in place of the vermouth.
