Fourfontaine Heineken Amsterdam T-shirt

My partner was lucky enough to win a competition the other day. She collected a dozen Heineken beers and a limited edition t-shirt from Fourfontaine. Luckily for me she doesn’t drink beer and the t-shirts size is large and fits me perfectly.

The t-shirt’s design is one of 7 prints. Each print has a limited run of only 50, with the number printed inside the tee. The designs aren’t too bad with some better than others. The one I have is the black Amsterdam Tee.

It feels great to wear. It’s the right fit for me, but the best bit is what it’s made of. It is made from 180gm bamboo cotton. It’s light and feels exceptionally soft to touch. It definitely feels like a quality tee.

I am glad we won the t-shirt, as buying one would set you back a bit. They are retailing for $69 which I consider fairly steep for a t-shirt, regardless of the quality or how limited they are.

Oakley GASCAN Sunglasses

I’m a big fan of sunglasses, I wear them every day. I make a point of not leaving home without them, as anybody in New Zealand knows, the weather can change in a heartbeat, so you don’t want to be caught out squinting in the sun… especially if you are driving!

I was in need of a new pair of sunglasses and was lucky enough to receive them as a gift.

My pair of GASCAN’s have a transparent crystal black frame with black iridium lenses. They look great on most people as they don’t have any outrageous features, just a sleek square straight look.

The are comfortable to wear, but occasionally slip forward if you are doing anything which involves a bit of extra movement, so can’t recommend wearing these if you are playing sports. They are suitable for wearing over a long periods of time without any discomfort.

The lenses are fine. I switched from yellow tinted lenses to these darker ones, so it was a bit different initially but it didn’t take long to adjust. They remove all the glare and keep everything nice and sharp. After several months I still don’t have any scratches but I do take care of them. They clean easily with a dry cloth.

The overall construction of them is solid. The hinges feel like they will last the life of the product and the arms are wide so have plenty of strength.

I can’t comment on the price as they were a gift, but most Oakley sunglasses will set you back a couple of hundred dollars. This is about average for a brand name pair of sunglasses.
