The James Brand

Ryan Coulter, founder of The James Brand, joins us for a conversation about how he’s stayed sharp on his journey. Growing up in Bloomington, Indiana, when it wasn’t cool to be a skater, Ryan shares how the tenacity and creativity he honed on a board shaped his career. We explore the unique collective progression of the skateboarding community and his bold early steps, like applying to be an astronaut at age 9—a dream that remarkably came full circle when he later collaborated with NASA. Ryan also takes us through his time as a Spy Hunter videogame champion, and how that James Bond-esque ethos permeates his creative pursuits. From his visionary work alongside Jake Burton Carpenter to bringing refined revolution to the tools we carry every day—don’t miss this conversation with a true pioneer in design and innovation.

This run is limited to thirty units. https://lnkd.in/gFsHd59Y

THE TJB × TIMEX DAILY ESSENTIALS CAPSULE? ? At the heart of everyday carry is a trifecta of utilitarian essentials: knife, watch and pen. Working with Timex, we’ve created a box set featuring all three in coordinated titanium finishes and corresponding emerald accents. The box set includes The James Brand × Timex automatic GMT watch, a limited edition Chapter 2 knife, and our new titanium twist-retractable pen, the Bolen. This is a run of only 55 units and makes for an epic gift this holiday season. https://lnkd.in/gEn5kUYE

NEW: THE BOLEN The Bolen is our first twist-retractable pen. Its two-handed twist action ensures it will never deploy by accident on your desk or, worse, in your pocket. Featuring a precision-machined 6al-4v titanium barrel with a thinner, more ergonomic diameter, along with a machined 6al-4v titanium pocket clip, the Bolen complements any desktop or pocket.

??THE JAMES BRAND × TIMEX: THE NEXT TITANIUM GMT? ? Yup, we’re back with the next in our series of Timex collaborations: The James Brand × Timex GMT, in Emerald. We had free reign to design this watch from scratch, with travel and adventure top of mind, and we’re darn proud of where we’ve landed. This edition is limited to 750 units and is live right now, so get after it. https://lnkd.in/gp_eVRJh

THE ART OF CRAFT: TJB × DEATH & CO Few truly get to know the importance of real, analog, face-to-face experiences like a good bartender. The James Brand and Death & Co (Gin & Luck) struck up a friendship almost three years ago and immediately understood we had meaningful values in common. The shared appreciation of great people, memorable moments, and quality tools paved the way for an authentic partnership — and we’re excited to announce our limited-edition Death & Co Pike, available now.

Travel rarely goes as planned; that’s what transforms it into an adventure. Our new Emerald Collection took us deep into the headlands of Nova Scotia with TJB ambassador Logan Landry and friends, on the hunt for waves, good times, and open-fire cooking. Sometimes, words and photos don’t do a trip justice. Watch the short film and check out our new Emerald Collection inspired by the tones of Cow Bay: https://lnkd.in/dhjxmshn

NEW: THE PALMER CLEAR ??? ? Made from 100% post-consumer recycled PCTG, it is lighter, brighter, and just as durable as its aluminum counterpart. The Palmer Clear is available in five translucent colors that will instantly make you nostalgic for the days of the Game Boy and the iMac G3 (look it up!). Whichever option you choose, it’s clear that the Palmer bridges the gap between a traditional everyday carry, a lifestyle accessory, and a pure utilitarian tool.? https://lnkd.in/gndMchuA

NEW! The Carter: Carbon Fiber + Stainless ?? How do you take one of our perennial best-sellers and make it even better? Make it with carbon fiber, of course. We’ve done other projects with carbon fiber, and they’ve always been wildly popular; it was time to give The Carter the upgrade. This is our lightest version ever, without compromising the versatility and durability that you've come to expect from TJB. Now available online and at select retailers.? https://lnkd.in/gA8MwgPe
