Surprisingly Hip: Col. Littleton Accessories
There’s an endless orgy of modern-looking tech accessories out there, but few that attempt to bring the warmth of old world luxury back into the cold techie world. Sure, you can go to Louis Vuitton or Marc Jacobs and pick up a cute, stylish iPad case, but I’m talking real old school, like Wild West old. Col. Littleton has filled that gap.
They’ve recently teamed up with Griffin to design a line of iPad cases that are to die for. My favorite is the No. 2 clutch, which I guess just goes along with what I’ve been loving lately. A simple, rectangular leather case with brass hardware and a thin strap that keeps your goods in place.
If you’re into the saddlebag trend, you’ll also love the No. 36 Trekker for iPad, which is just dripping in old west charm. The brass bar at the top of the bag that anchors the handle and the straps really makes the piece. Everyone will be asking you where you got it.
And lucky for us, the Colonel doesn’t just make tech-related accessories. It’s a well-known fact that the Power Animals love their beer cozies, and now we have an excuse to look classy and drink beer out of a can at the same time: leather, monogrammed beer cozies. OMG. He’s a man after our own hearts.
Check out the entire collection on the Col. Littleton website.

I am really digging the fancy beer coozies. I could see my Miller Chill chilling in one those fancy leather holders for sure.

I love the story of Col. Littleton! An old-timey dude just sort of happened into the luxury men’s goods business. Adorable.
