If you have trouble reading this email, go to the online version 09/11/14 The best thing since sliced weekend.     PERK ALERT Shoes. Shirts. Jay Z’s Hangover Cure.   Your Perks: 1) A long-sleeve shirt designed by MIT grads and infused with coffee. We’ll explain. 2) A Jay Z–approved hangover cure so you can continue brunching unabated. 3) Half off all of your autumn shoes. Just in time...   411: Shirts from Ministry of Supply; Mercy chewables; shoes from Amsterdam Shoe Co.     LENNON LAW For Sale: An Island John Lennon Owned   An island is for sale off the coast of Ireland. It was previously owned by John Lennon. And it’s been mostly uninhabited, save for a short spell when a commune took residence there. Now it’s just sheep. And your three-story yurt if you play your cards right.   411: Dorinish Island, $388,059, available now     ALL APOLOGIES Japan May Have a Problem with Remorse   Not easy: apologizing to someone. Much easier: paying another human to do it for you. Which is probably why apology agencies are now a thing in Japan. You hire a consultant to express regret to someone you’ve wronged, then you continue feeling blissfully indifferent. Hey, what a terrible idea.   411: Apology Service, find out more here     ROAD TO JOY Tons of Cars You Wish Were Yours   Bonhams is about to hold its biggest historic-car auction yet. Which means, yes, this will probably be your only chance to own a ’65 Ferrari 275 GTB Berlinetta or a ’36 Lagonda LG45R Rapide Sports-Racing Two-Seater. Or hope the winning bidders don’t mind sharing.   411: Bonhams Goodwood Revival, bidding starts September 13 here     THE GOOD KNIFE Prepare to Cut Stuff with Nice Knives   There is a man in the woods of Georgia. And as we speak, he’s most likely out somewhere finding old lumps of steel and lumber to forge blades and handles out of. Paring knives. Oyster knives. He does custom jobs, too. Looks like someone’s getting a shiny new... sickle?   411: Heartwood Forge, $165 and up, online now     EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN LINK In Case You Missed It...   On Kempt: Some strong opinions on Monday Night Football. And Filson launches C.C. Filson, a collection of substantial jackets to defend against winter’s wrath. Or fall’s pre-wrath. On Driven: Intrepid correspondents drive across Maine looking for boots, knives and fresh air. Also, the guy who played Scott Lavin on Entourage: great photographer, turns out. Huh.
