Bellroy 

My thanks to Bellroy for sponsoring this week’s DF RSS feed. Bellroy specializes in making slim, stylish, functional wallets and iPhone cases. I’ve been using a Slim Sleeve since last year, and I still think it’s the best wallet I’ve ever seen. Looks great, feels great, and very cleverly designed.

I only carry cards in my wallet, not cash. For those who keep their cash in their wallets, their newest models, the Low Down and High Line, keep bills flat and crisp while staying super slim. They’re simply great wallets for anyone who appreciates simple, minimalist design. (Great gift idea, too.)

Scrambled, Not Shirred 

Tom Weiss, writing for Lucky Peach:

James Bond’s favorite meal of the day was breakfast. It was also the favorite meal of Ian Fleming, 007’s creator. Fleming made breakfast not only “Bond’s favorite meal of the day,” but also “an important part of Bond’s day.” This was not mere rhetoric. Among the five hundred meals mentioned in the entire Bond oeuvre, 115 were breakfasts, eighty of them described in appetizing detail.
