Good Hunting: Our warm-weather wish list
Summer essentials with plenty of polish
Andrew Cebulka
Bike: Each one-of-a-kind bike rolled out of Aaron Dykstra’s Virginia workshop is a piece of movable art, cut and customized by hand to suit the rider’s lifestyle and skill set. Start the conversation early, though. Dykstra’s creations don’t happen overnight, but the first time out on your Six-Eleven, you’ll know it was worth the wait (custom frames start at $2,075; sixelevenbicycleco.com).

Vest: The Clay Break Premium Shooting Vest from Eddie Bauer’s new Sport Shop collection protects shoulders with quilted leather patches, while its mesh back keeps shooters cool ($179; eddiebauer.com).
Andrew Cebulka
Knife: Crafted by skilled Laguiole knife makers, this palm-sized, single-blade pocketknife from Sid Mashburn works just as well in a slacks pocket as it does in a hunting vest ($95; sidmashburn.com).
Andrew Cebulka
Fly Rod: Whether you’re making short roll casts or long double hauls, Sage’s ONE rod is built to handle any situation on the stream or the flat. Actually hooking the fish is still up to you ($715–$740; sageflyfish.com).
Andrew Cebulka
Duck Boots: L.L. Bean Signature’s modern take on the company’s classic Maine Hunting Shoe swaps heavy leather uppers for breathable waxed canvas ($119; llbean.com/llbeansignature).
Andrew Cebulka
Dinnerware: Each bowl, cup, and plate from the showstopping Alabama Chanin for Heath Ceramics collection is hand-etched in one of three patterns inspired by the stitching of Natalie Chanin’s clothing line, and they’re as hardworking as they are decorative. “I adore the big serving bowl,” says the Florence-based designer. “I make my biscuits in it.” Pair with a linen runner for a dinner-party-ready table ($21–$375; heathceramics.com).
Andrew Cebulka
Duffel: Make an easy exit with this traditional Ravine weekender from the talented folks at Herschel Supply Co., a family of Scottish coopers turned bag makers ($65; needsupply.com).
Andrew Cebulka
Barware: Made of polished pewter, Wentworth Pewter’s cartridge flask holds four ounces of booze ($120; sirjacks.com). Share a nip with nesting shot glasses from Wintercheck Factory ($30; wintercheckfactory.com)
Andrew Cebulka
Camera: Lightweight and compact, the new FinePix X100 by FujiFilm has a vintage look that hides state-of-the-art technology, including the world’s first hybrid viewfinder—ideal for landscape shots ($1,199; ritzcamera.com).
Andrew Cebulka
Travel Desk: Keep up with correspondence the old-fashioned way with this travel writing board from Col. Littleton. Made of American cherry, it’ll support your iPad or laptop, too ($309; colonellittleton.com).
Andrew Cebulka
Sunglasses: From classic aviators, designed for U.S. forces during World War II, to the iconic Escapades frame, a celeb favorite since the 1950s, Shuron’s retro shades transcend trends for generations of wear. Made in Florida, the 147-year-old company’s diverse selection of shapes and lenses makes it easy to find just the right fit. 1. Sidewinder Ebony, $185; 2. Sidewinder Demi Amber, $185; 3. Mac-Arthur, $200; 4. Freeway Brown Smoke, $185; 5. Escapades Tortoise Taper, $185; shuron.com
