Soon during a day in the summer when a cold beer has become yesterday’s papers and you’re out of Pimms, you’ll go for the bottle that will sit right next to your other favorite spirits on your home bar. Perfect for ladies who want something nice and easy and guys who are feeling in touch with southern tradition, Jeremiah Weed is almost as lethal as your average straight vodka or scotch, a conversation piece and a perfect accompaniment to a breezy summer day.

There may only be one of Keith’s magical skull rings in existence and there is certainly only one Keith, but now you can get the closest possible thing to the genuine article. When Keith first got his iconic ring as a birthday present from David Courts and Bill Hackett in 1978, little did he know he had just received what would become arguably the most recognizable ring in history. The ring and its famous wearer have garnered numerous imitators, from kids at Hot Topic to Johnny Depp, but if you want the real thing from the real source, there’s only one place to go.

Someone asked us the other day which was our favorite cologne. This got us to thinking because most times an eau de toliette or cologne is best for a certain time of year. Maybe it’s fall and the leaves are changing colors. You would want something woody and rich, like a great class of scotch. If the time of year is spring or summer, most would prefer a more youthful cologne with grass, fruits and hints of the ocean. Once we really began to think and go through our collections, one rose above the rest as the single best solution to a year-round perfume.

So with everyone’s eyes on the new Panamera, and rightfully so, another recent addition to the Porsche line up has managed to slip under almost everyone’s radar. Think James Dean 2010 and you’re getting closer. For a lower-than-expected $61,200 base MSRP, the Spyder makes more sense than its new four door cousin, and also won’t completely break your bank if you’ve been taking care of your money. Next time you pull up alongside one of these babies, you’ll know exactly what it is, but not many others will.

In today’s day in age, when people want what they want when they want it, we at FreddieBlack have been totally surprised by the number of people who have not taken full advantage of one of the best inventions ever: The Podcast. The podcast is the ultimate in take-anywhere information, updated daily for your discretionary consumption. On my computer, I currently have 47 podcasts, some of which update daily, others every few days, and some only once a week. The content is as diverse as one could think of, but its great to simply click “refresh” each morning and not quite know what you’ll get. Below, we have chosen six of our favorites, but pick and choose whichever you want from the ITunes store; the best part is that they’re all free!

So you’ve just moved into the new place. Possibilities and opportunities abound. Your blank canvas is screaming at you to fill it, and first impulse is to just get the shit away from the door. After you have moved all the boxes in and the task of unpacking and reassembling your life comes knocking, we say check your toolkit, because unless you have these essentials, be prepared for a serious pain in the ass.

Take a quick look inside the closet of any of your female friends or relatives and you will surely stumble upon the infamous “little black dress.” After all, every girl and woman owns at least one. There is no doubt that this age-old garment’s greatest advantages are its eternal elegance and unique utility. But what about us?

This is the time of year when the changes start to occur. For the past six or seven months, most of us who wear a tie to work from nine to five wear dress shoes almost always, with the exception of possibly the weekend or our nightly run (if you’re not comfortable with a pair of dress shoes, you need to be.) Though with the passing of Easter and the warming of the waters, we have many more opportunities to get our ankles some air, and often times a more casual route is the way to go.
