Pickin’ & Trimmin’
A bit of a different tone from our usual Viewfinder fare, Pickin’ & Trimmin’ reminds us why we love our Southern roots — and even moreso, bluegrass music. It’s also further proof that the Barbershop (the institution itself) is one of America’s greatest treasures.

Style Pick: Red Wing Heritage 4563 Boot
The Red Wing Heritage 4563 reminds us why the Minnesota staple is one of our perennial favorites. Beginning with the pedigree 8-inch workboot, the 4563 also combines the benefits of a round-toe design (fewer seams, more expanses of leather) from the oxford silhouette.

Style Pick: Uniqlo Flannel Shirts
Walk into a Uniqlo and you inevitably overhear euphamisms like “great style, Old Navy prices” or “it’s like the IKEA of clothes”, but look beyond the obvious and you’ll discover a clever mix of timely and stylish wears at catchpenny prices. Their cashmere sweater sales redefine doorbuster and so long as you’re not seeking Italian bespoke you’ll find pretty excellent tailoring throughout.

Finding Oregon
The result of six months of timelapse footage captured over a 1,600 mile journey, Finding Oregon paints the beaver state in a way like you’ve never seen before. Iconic locales like the Blue Mountains, Crater Lake and Columbia River Gorge amongst others are captured at near-impossible moments to create what might be the best “visit this state” film we’ve ever seen.

Style Pick: Gant Rugger Leather Goods
Unless you happen to live right above a New York based GANT store, you may have missed a new collection of small leather goods that launched today. Each piece is crafted by Tärnsjö, a family operated tannery just outside of Sweden, renowned for their leather (you’ve seen them before on Brooks saddles).
