April 29, 2013 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head here to learn more.

The Eliminator – Five from Huckberry

Here’s how this works:  Each day we’ll eliminate an item until only one remains.  Vote for the item you’d LEAST like to own at the bottom of the page.  The item with the most votes gets ejected at the end of the day.  The item that remains at the end of this battle royal will be won by one of you with an enter to win post firing off on Friday.

About Huckberry: It’s not easy to stand out in the world of flash sale websites, but Huckberry does it.  With an emphasis on the outdoors and active lifestyle gear, they nail the upscale-rugged thing.  Also, their sales are often filled  with made in the USA goods.  All of these items are currently available, or have been available through Huckberry at some point.  May the best item win!

Tellason Made in the USA White Oak Selvage Jeans – $220.00

dap_tellason

Tough as nails American made denim.  White Oak blue line raw selvage that’s cut and sewn in San Francisco. Even the leather patch is from Portland’s Tanner Goods.  Available in Slim Straight or Straight Leg fits, and 12.5 oz or ultra-substantial 16.5 oz.  Order a size down and let the jeans conform to your body over time. Find out more about Tellason here.

 

Nisolo Chavito Suede Chukka – $124.00

dap_nisolo_chavito

Born from a micro-finance organization, Nisolo shoes are handcrafted in Peru by a small group of shoemakers.  This small brand is sustaining over 30 jobs in Peru, and over the last year and a half they’ve “increased income levels of our artisans by up to 500%“.  The Chavito has a lighter-tan suede upper, is lined in sheepskin, and has a rubber outsole.  With more eyelets than a desert boot, it laces up securely to your foot.  One of ten models in their men’s collection.  Great looks, good conscience.

 

Jacob Bromwell Great American Copper Flask – $199.99

dap_jb_flask

Pegs the needle on the “this is something” scale.  A work of art with a 9 oz capacity.  Hand made in the USA from pure copper.  Comes with an authentic birch wood stopper, as well as a leak-free cork stopper (y’know, in case you take it for a jog?).  Constructed with historically accurate techniques yet still corrosion resistant and FDA approved.  Made to be used.

 

Two Lumina Button Downs of your choice – $168 ($84 per)

dap_lumina

Tapered through the waist, high armholes, made in the USA.  Casual shirts that don’t punt on a more precise fit, thanks to their half sizing system (small, small+, medium, medium+, etc).  Pleated on the back so they move with instead of against you.  Nicely sized collars that won’t pull a disappearing act under a sportcoat or blazer.

 

Palmer Trading Company Brimfield Waxed Duffle – $174.98

dap_palmer

100% cotton twill exterior and moccasin leather handles and straps.  Not a hard sided duffle, so you can smash it into an overhead bin or cram it into an overcrowded trunk if need be.  On the smaller side with dimensions of 18″ x 8″ x 7″.  Nickel hardware.  Made in New England.  $174.98 is the Huckberry Price.  Retail for this thing in the Palmer Trading Company New York shop is $190.

Here comes the tough part.  Pick the item that you’d LEAST like to win and vote below to have it eliminated.  One item gets cut every day.  The item that’s left at the end of the week will be up for grabs and you’ll be able to enter to win on Friday.  Make your case for what needs to stay in the comments. Voting closes at 11:59pm ET.

    Love those chukkas

  4. Thomas J. Chillot says

    April 29, 2013 at 5:51 AM

    perhaps it’s because its a $200 flask?

  5. bryclops says

    April 29, 2013 at 5:55 AM

    Everyone prefers to win something they don’t have to worry about fitting properly, and more people will find a use for the duffle than for the flask. I’m calling it: this will be a duffle giveaway. I hope.

  6. Mike says

    April 29, 2013 at 5:59 AM

    My reaction exactly. That is the one I most want to win.

  7. tdig says

    April 29, 2013 at 6:01 AM

    I didnt think the poll was “Which item would you least want to BUY” but instead “which would you least like to WIN” so price should be irrelevant…

  8. Christopher Teague says

    April 29, 2013 at 6:22 AM

    It’s a beautiful duffle, but I’m left wondering what one caries in an 18x8x7 bag.

  9. John says

    April 29, 2013 at 6:35 AM

    I’d guess that since it’s the least likely to be used whereas everything else can be seen as “rotation” pieces.

  10. DXLi says

    April 29, 2013 at 6:44 AM

    It’s not irrelevant. If you had planned on buying something but manage to get it for free instead, you’ve saved money. Most people plan on buying good jeans, shirts, etc. How many budget for a copper flask?

  11. Jonathan Lambert says

    April 29, 2013 at 6:47 AM

    This competition is going to come down to the selvage jeans or the waxed dufflebag.

  12. Bryan says

    April 29, 2013 at 6:50 AM

    My thoughts as well, very shocked to see the flask voted out first. This was the item I was hoping to win!

  13. Eric Henao says

    April 29, 2013 at 7:00 AM

    Damn Dappered! I have to eliminate ONE? How can I do that when I WANT THEM ALL! Great contest!

  14. Zeejet says

    April 29, 2013 at 7:15 AM

    For me the flask would be “the least I would use”. You don’t drink hard every day (or at least you shouldn’t if you aren’t in college anymore).

    Also, you would be paying for worksmanship/style. Copper is a very cheap metal.

    Personally I hope the jeans win. You can always use another apir and would get lots of use from it.

  15. pierrot says

    April 29, 2013 at 7:19 AM

    im worried about longevity – will it corrode?

  16. Just A Hunk says

    April 29, 2013 at 7:51 AM

    I voted to eliminate the flask because I quit drinking a year ago, but I didn’t quit wearing clothes or traveling.

  17. Dennis L says

    April 29, 2013 at 8:11 AM

    I think the jeans or the shirts. . .

  18. Butch_Zee says

    April 29, 2013 at 8:38 AM

    It’s no doubt impressive, but would you use a copper flask or just put it up as a decoration piece? I think if you’re gonna pull out a $200 flask and take a sip, you’d best be wearing $1200 shoes and a $3000 watch, or what’s the point? Just don’t keep it in the glovebox of your Benz S-series.

  19. Greg_S says

    April 29, 2013 at 8:51 AM

    Cheap relative to precious metals. The price has still tripled in the last 20 years. So craftsmanship and materials, IMO. Regardless, I find it to be a beautiful piece even if I wouldn’t have much use for it. Oh well. Que será será.

    I kind of want that flask. Gorgeous is the perfect word to describe it.

  22. Bruschetta says

    April 29, 2013 at 9:02 AM

    This is a good point. It’s a strange size for a duffle bag.

  23. Bruschetta says

    April 29, 2013 at 9:04 AM

    Thank you for the style tips, Butch. If I win the flask I will be sure to pair it my $1200 shoes, $3000 watch, and Mercedes Benz.

  24. southy says

    April 29, 2013 at 9:14 AM

    The flask is beautiful. That or the jeans. It’s always nice to win something a little more “special” even though you might use it less.

  25. onikage01 says

    April 29, 2013 at 9:18 AM

    The flask. Do people really carry these things around in droves? I see sites like this covering them all the time, but I’ve never seen anyone bust a flask out and take a swig.

  26. Greg_S says

    April 29, 2013 at 9:19 AM

    Agreed. It is really striking.

  27. southy says

    April 29, 2013 at 9:19 AM

    it should… wait for it… patina nicely over time

  28. southy says

    April 29, 2013 at 9:19 AM

    the shirts were attractive until i learned they intentionally give you extra room in the sleeves… which is a little strange to me

  29. John says

    April 29, 2013 at 9:44 AM

    Drink more frequently? Absolutely. Drink more frequently out of a flask? I’d likely wear the clothes more often.

  30. Adam B says

    April 29, 2013 at 9:53 AM

    Cut the flask.

  31. Dave Hahn says

    April 29, 2013 at 10:08 AM

    The flask looks cool, I’ll give it that. But you whip that thing out when it’s appropriate to use a flask and it’s way too flashy and costume-like. It’s very steampunk. So unless you’re gonna be rocking a 3 glass monocle with a top hat and some crazy looking gauntlets, I’d pass. Duffle bag is super sweet.

  32. Travis says

    April 29, 2013 at 10:15 AM

    My vote is the flask

  33. themodestman says

    April 29, 2013 at 10:36 AM

    The shirts. Because, hey, you can get shirts anywhere. But a copper flask? Plus those jeans…

  34. Marshall Lilly says

    April 29, 2013 at 10:49 AM

    I’d be happy to just get one of those Stanley flasks in the first picture if I was going to use one. My wife got me a Stanley thermos for an anniversary gift yesterday, and having brought my coffee to work today for the first time, I’m sold.

  35. Ian Collins says

    April 29, 2013 at 11:09 AM

    That was a difficult one, glad to see the ones I like the most are getting the least amount of votes!

  36. Jwedel1231 says

    April 29, 2013 at 11:31 AM

    You’re saying that the flask only costs so much because of the workmanship, not the materials, but hope that the selvage denim makes it? The jeans will wear out in a few years, cost more than the flask, and is expensive for the same reason as the flask.

  37. Jwedel1231 says

    April 29, 2013 at 11:34 AM

    I’d feel better wearing my $80 shoes and $40 shirt, knowing that I have a $200 flask that will impress everyone and distract them from my shoestring clothes budget.

  38. Jwedel1231 says

    April 29, 2013 at 11:35 AM

    Southy’s got it right. Copper is a pretty resilient material. That’s why it is used in electronics on contact points, where the ultra resiliency of gold isn’t needed.

  39. Jwedel1231 says

    April 29, 2013 at 11:36 AM

    They are a covert item. The reason you don’t see them often is because people are using them correctly. At least, that’s what I like to think.

  40. onikage01 says

    April 29, 2013 at 11:48 AM

    While this may be true, the one being advertised here is definitely meant to be shown off. $200 for a flask made of pure copper. :S

  41. zachsdad1 says

    April 29, 2013 at 12:22 PM

    I don’t need another pair of shoes no matter how good they look or how great they feel.

  42. AlwaysBeenTim says

    April 29, 2013 at 12:52 PM

    I turn 42 soon. I have been around the world and then some. I slept in the worst barracks to the fanciest hotels. I’ve been around all manner of race, religion and background. I can count the number of times that somebody has pulled out a flask on one hand and the number of times that it didn’t come off as affected on a single finger.

  43. donskinny says

    April 29, 2013 at 1:19 PM

    SO you would rather “use” a flask than wear any of the clothes?

  44. Andrew Kocsis says

    April 29, 2013 at 1:54 PM

    I recently ordered a new duffle with dimensions at 18x10x8 and while my new bag is a great looking bag- it’s surprisingly small compared to my Floto weekender. This Palmer bag really looks great but will surprise many as to how small it is. That should have been the one to go first. I’ve been looking at the flask for the past couple of months and saw a review last month that pointed out it the one being reviewed leaked. The author conceded that maybe it was just a glitch but the fact that it doesn’t seem to have a traditional screw-top has since turned me off from buying it outright. Plus, the look is a little too rustic (I think American whiskey country rusticTennessee/Kentucky) for my everyday style though it would be perfect for when I’m vacationing in the Smokey Mountains and hiking along a trail. But a $24 Stanley would fit in just as well there or at a football tailgate opposed to the copper one. It does look really nice and probably would look better over time too. Can’t say that I want to own it any longer.

  45. bryclops says

    April 29, 2013 at 2:51 PM

    Hm… that is kind of weird. Admittedly, with no use for a flask and a tendency to distrust OTR fits, I jumped to the conclusion that I’d want the bag. Now I’m not so sure.

  46. msolak says

    April 29, 2013 at 2:54 PM

    Jacob Gromwell Copper Flask

  47. Zeejet says

    April 29, 2013 at 3:50 PM

    Well, I’m assuming workmanship. It could just be crap and sold at that price for aesthetics and trendy-ness.

    While I like to balance form and function, the flask is all form and no function (to me personally). I didn’t mean to stir up a heated argument here. Just letting people know that I don’t find much use in a flask.

  48. JimL says

    April 29, 2013 at 4:49 PM

    Those shoes are so retro, but were awful in 60’s and 70’s and still are! Wouldn’t be caught in them (for less than a $1,000.00!).

  49. Alex Christensen says

    April 29, 2013 at 6:26 PM

    puppies

  50. Alex Christensen says

    April 29, 2013 at 6:27 PM

    The jeans are the most expensive, so if we just want to win the most $ value, that’s the one.

  51. BJ McGeever says

    April 29, 2013 at 7:07 PM

    A 5 eyelet chukka? Nope.

  52. Michael_Walters says

    April 29, 2013 at 9:44 PM

    The flask. Just don’t have a need for it.

  53. AlwaysBeenTim says

    April 30, 2013 at 12:47 PM

    Yup. Affected. Flasks were made for when alcohol wasn’t readily available. It now is. Everybody at those football games and concerts have access to booze before, after and probably during the game. Also, they can buy their booze in the same size and shape of a flask (pint or half-pint) if they need something that is portable. So, yeah, the guys who bought booze and a flask and then poured the booze in a flask did so only so people can see them drink booze out of a flask.

  54. I'm Diego says

    April 30, 2013 at 5:59 PM

    Yeah, get rid of the flask. It’s a flask.

  55. AlwaysBeenTim says

    April 30, 2013 at 7:23 PM

    I don’t think you can use the term ‘patently false’ when what I said was ‘Everybody at those football games and concerts have access to booze before, after and probably during the game’. I said probably. You can still get booze after the game, before the game or in a glass/plastic half pint bottle that doesn’t weigh as much as you like to imagine it does. Nobody needs a flask unless they need booze so much that they can’t wait a few hours to get that sweet, sweet taste of liquor and they don’t have a single pocket that can hold a tiny, flask shape half-pint. Again, a flask is from a time where it would take days or weeks or even months to get liquor. Being unable to wait a few hours is just sadness.

    I’m glad you mentioned ‘young folks’ because, yes, a flask is just an object for a young man or teen to use and pretend that, if drinking is making him a man, than this flask is making him a special man.

  56. AlwaysBeenTim says

    April 30, 2013 at 7:46 PM

    The one man I knew who used a flask and didn’t seem silly was a hunter who lived in a tiny village in Laos The only alcohol that he had access to was a nasty rice whiskey that his village would make, communally, every few months. Everybody with get a clay pot of whiskey and live off it until the next batch. Since he would often be gone for weeks, he had a nasty, military flask (this thing had fungus on it that was older than I was) filled with a horrible brew and he had it because he didn’t have anything else..

    Every other time that I’ve been around a guy with a flask, it is always a teen or some guy (always a dude) in his early twenties. They would break out their flask, usually with a wink or a flourish, and let everybody at the party or game or concert know that they going to be drinking something a little more hardcore and I’m sure they thought themselves gods. Yes, they came off as affected and silly.

  57. AlwaysBeenTim says

    May 1, 2013 at 10:39 AM

    I do believe using a needless anachronism is an affectation and most everybody that I have seen use them has looked silly, not just to me but the people around, as well. If you think you and your friends seem cool, have at it. Refusing to answer my points or pretending a half pint is bulky is fine. You are only young once, kid. Enjoy it!
