The Eliminator – Five from Huckberry
Here’s how this works: Each day we’ll eliminate one item until only one is left standing at the end of the week. Vote for the item you’d LEAST like to own in the poll 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, via 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!

Filson Tin Cloth Original Briefcase – $325.00
“Might as well have the best”… sure thing. But this is the updated, tin-cloth, water resistant version of the Filson Original Brief. So, if the original is “the best” than the tin-cloth is the best…est? 16″ wide and very much made in the USA.
Two Breyburn Shirts: Solid White – $85 & Light Blue – $85
The two most important colors for dress shirts to own. Labeled a “brand for the 21st century“, Breyburn is web based, transparent, and looking to provide the highest quality at an attainable for most cost. Their shirts are made in Portugal from Italian fabrics, are cut in a slim fit, and feature Mother of Pearl buttons. Full spread/almost cutaway collar. See their fit chart here.
ELIMINATED Joshu+Vela Saddle Wax Duffel – $199.99
Made in San Francisco from durable waxed canvas, leather handles that have been tanned here in the USA, sturdy cotton webbing, solid copper rivets, and a big ol’ #10 brass zipper. This brand is headed up by a guy who has experience working for Levi’s and The North Face, and with Joshu+Vela, he’s now committed to cranking out incredibly handsome goods using the best materials possible. Even the canvas on this bag comes from an organic co-op in Texas. Dimensions are 21″ long, 8″ tall, and 10.25″ wide
Tsovet SVT-DW44 – $400.00
A dive watch that can handle 200m of water… and just about anything thrown at it on dry land. 4mm case. No nonsense dial. Threaded screw-down crown, rubber strap, and matte case. 44mm in diameter and 22mm lugs. Swiss Rhonda Quartz movement with a lifetime warranty for the battery and a 5-year warranty on the rest. Swiss made. The kind of watch you’d want on your wrist when the Zombie apocalypse hits.
Broken Homme Davis Boot – $265.00
Pretty much encompasses just the kind of thing Huckberry specializes in carrying. Extremely well made, great looking, and Made-in-the-USA. New to the scene but with a heritage feel, Broken Homme boots are made in Los Angeles and designed to last. Full grain leather uppers with a vibram sole. These guys have a bright future. Plenty of styles to pick from too.
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, but let’s keep any mudslinging to a minimum.

That’s a nice watch, but I don’t see it getting as much playing time as the shirts, the briefcase, or the boots.
Damn shame about the bag going. Don’t really have a horse in this race anymore.
For me, nice shirts are easy to come by. I’d rather have a unique watch, pair of boots, or laptop bag.
agree…shirts…meh
I know some of you are pulling for them but I can’t get past the “antiquing” on those boots. It’s all splotchy and rough
“Free stuff” is everyone’s horse.
Well… unless the free stuff is literally unusable. Damn those boots and their only-made-for-normal-foot-widths… -ness.
But, yeah, other than that, free stuff is never anything to complain about. I guess even boots that don’t fit could be resold, though if the boots win this thing I’m just not going to enter — I’d hate to win something I can’t use and deprive people who can.
Another thing that makes them near perfect as a giveaway. I noticed the antiquing too, and it probably will keep me from shelling out $$$ for them. But to win them: pretty darn solid. I’m betting the finish evens with wear and consistent applications of tan/brown polish or cream.
Duffel may be well made out of great materials. But it’s design, shape and overall look is pretty generic, like something you could buy in Sports Authority.
White and blue dress shirts are, well, white and blue dress shirts.
nooo! not the shirts!
I voted for the briefcase mainly because I am looking at the classic element of the items listed. I did not want to totally consider the value of the items even though I do agree with a previous comment that all the items but the shirts you might not normally buy.
dont need a briefcase
Oh, I’m not complaining about the free stuff. It’s great and all and, god knows, I’m gonna try to win something but I don’t need any of the other things. At this point, they all are of equal worth to me, while I really liked the duffel and could have used it.
I guess, I’m complaining about all of you. You people ruined my dreams and my one chance to be complete with your unwillingness to take me into account with your “votes”. *sob* Damn you, damn you all!
Pretty sure it’s you, buddy.
The sleeves on those shirts are too short for me so they have to go.
Disqus’s handling of my fake HTML tags is really impressive.
I agree that I might buy the shirts, normally, but I wouldn’t pay that price for shirts with my job as a physical therapist. I’m jumping around all day demonstrating activities I want my athletes to do. I’d like to have them though!
