Schott: Heirloom Quality Leather Jackets and Outdoorwear
:: Huge selection :: Unbelievable quality and history :: Pay more, get more
The first jacket makers to use a zipper, Schott brothers have made jackets that have helped define American history, culture and style… from the Perfecto motorcycle jacket (named after a favorite cigar) to WWII Bomber jackets commissioned by the US Air Force, to classic big-screen appearances with Marlon Brando and James Dean in the 1950s, to punk rock of the 70s and 80s – Blondie, The Ramones, Joan Jett, and the Sex Pistols were a few of the icons of that era.
Schott has a wide range of outdoor wear for men and women, including peacoats, duffle coats, flight jackets, motorcycle jackets of many flavors, nylon outerwear, knits and sportswear, and leather pants and chaps. Quality and style ooze from each hand crafted garment. Visit their website to catch up on their history and zoom into high resolution photos of their clothing. These are the kinds of jackets that one might just save up for.
Soapbox: Modern, Simple, Clever Furniture System

Products are all boxes, but vary in measurement, wood color and bracket color (see swatches above). Options include coffee tables, wall mounts for cabinetry, short legs for low cubes, or long legs for side tables and high boxes. All they need now are “Exendo T brackets” for making double-decker boxes, but I’m sure they’re on it.

QMT Wind Chimes: Outstanding Affordable Wind Chimes
:: Great prices :: Huge selection :: Various tunings :: Hand made
QMT makes their amazing wind chimes in Virginia, using locally sourced materials. After we heard the Arias wind chimes in person, we had to retire our old wind chimes that inadvertently played Star Wars imperial tune when the wind blew just right! The Arias we tested out was perfect pitch, and all the bells together created no wavering – it was a pure and beautiful chord, which still sounds perfect five years later! Even the cabling and pieces have withstood many windy seasons.
We highly recommend QMT’s products, and if you ever get a chance, check out their very large chimes – amazing! QMT has several lines under different names which have different tunings, materials, and levels of craft detail. Ranging from 15″ to 74″, Made in USA!
