In the last Indiana Jones film — which we’ll fondly refer to as “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Worst Movie Ever” — there was exactly one intriguing set piece: an enormous warehouse filled with esoteric wonders from antiquity.
We found that warehouse. And you can buy everything.
Welcome to Bureau of Trade, relaunching today.
You may remember BoT — a global discovery engine for discerning guys started by a foreign-policy-wonk-cum-worldly-curator.
But now, BoT is selling those same affordable rarities themselves, with witty descrips from their ace writers. The first collection: Continental Rift. The highlights:
10-X Shooting Jacket, $87
BoT: We firmly believe that a 10-X shooting jacket is the perfect article of clothing to wear when forced to fly coach.
Soviet-Era Watch by Pobeda, $75
Suitable for: Comrades in arms.
Not suitable for: Double agents.
WWI Gas Mask Lamp, $1350
Suitable for: Providing the ‘warm light of preparedness.’
Not suitable for: Actually surviving a mustard gas attack.
Plus, a unique collection of tribal spears and shields, Serengeti scarves, canvas bush vests and classic aviation eyewear, all presented via a series of engaging essays, stories and Wes Anderson-y short films.
Happily, you’ll find nary a nuke-proof fridge.
