The Story Of A Notebook
Introducing Dwight Livingstone Curtis, a New York-based writer who’s here to tell us about the many uses of a Shinola notebook. Take it away Dwight: A notebook is more than just a .doc: it’s an artifact, a mark in time, a record of the act of creation. It’s a seismograph for your subway rides […]
From The Big Apple To The Motor City
Meet recent Detroit transplant Bridget Russo. She singlehandedly coordinates Shinola’s marketing efforts from our company headquarters on the fifth floor of the historic Argonaut building. A dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker, Bridget moved to the Motor City from Tribeca New York last year because she believes it would be insincere to direct the company’s marketing efforts from […]
Meet David, Our Bike Guy In New York
Meet David Kirby, our resident bike expert in the Shinola flagship New York store, seen (handsomely) riding The Runwell in the above photo. Starting in September, he will be leading a bike tour every Saturday evening from the Tribeca store (177 Franklin St.) that hits points north up the West Side Highway. We recently had the pleasure […]
The Argonite 705 Watch Movement
The image above shows each piece of the Shinola quartz Argonite 705 watch movement, which powers The Brakeman. Like the engine of an automobile, a watch movement is comprised of carefully machined and calibrated components that must operate in precise coordination for the mechanism to properly function. Just one flawed or improperly fitted piece can bring […]

Signal-Return & The Shinola Bike Tour
There’s something supremely satisfying about a letterpress shop—opening the drawers of lead type, applying ink to the press, manually cranking the paper—the whole deal is just so tactile and hands-on. Right up our alley. Which is probably why we jumped at the chance to collaborate with Signal-Return here in Detroit on a letterpress poster to support our […]
A Summer Trip To Sleeping Bear Dunes
Meghan McEwen, the intrepid traveler who brought us along with her to Glen Arbor, MI a few weeks ago, has just reported in on the second leg of her trip to the Leelanau Peninsula. This journey (of course) includes the classic Michigan vacation spot known as Sleeping Bear Dunes—a beautiful place we’d love to tell you all about, […]

Your first stop will be at the base of Central Park and will end on the East River […]
The Watchmakers of Detroit Go West
It’s been two years in the making (plus a 7 hour flight), but we’ve finally arrived on the West Coast. We’ve been told to visit some body of water that (supposedly) rivals Lake Michigan, but our briefcase is packed with Shinola goods and this trip is all business. Starting now and ending on Labor Day, […]
