"  The third installment of the Pop-Up Flea kicks off right about now and runs through Sunday in New York. The brainchild of Michael Williams, proprietor of A Continuous Lean, and Randy Goldberg, of Urban Daddy fame, the Pop-Up Flea is part swap-meet, part trade show, and part sample sale for a collection of like-minded brands (mostly) manufactured in the USA (full list here). &amp;quot;More than anything, it&amp;#039;s about getting guys that like these brands in the same room as the people that make them. We thought it would great for everybody involved to meet, drink a couple beers, see some great products and maybe buy some&amp;quot;, said Williams. The third edition is the only one happening this year, so expect big things: &amp;quot;There will be a two-fold increase in handsomeness this time around.&amp;quot; said Goldberg, &amp;quot;and .08-percent decrease in lumberjackishness.&amp;quot; The boys were kind enough to show The Style Blog a few of their favorite items available this weekend:  &amp;quot;Leather Head/Lemon Ball manufactures hand-made footballs and baseballs in New Jersey. This is a special medicine ball they made. It&amp;#039;s cordovan leather, weighs eleven pounds and is zero waste because it&amp;#039;s filled with two years worth of leather scraps. Basically it&amp;#039;s the Chevy Volt of medicine balls.&amp;quot; \u2014 Randy Goldberg  &amp;quot;Archival Clothing is based in Oregon, and that&amp;#039;s where they make these ruck-sacks. They&amp;#039;re made of waxed twill that will look great as it breaks in. My favorite part is the interior draw-string, which is a boot lace.&amp;quot; \u2014 Michael Williams  &amp;quot;Levi&amp;#039;s Vintage Clothing is selling its small-batch 501&amp;#039;s made using Cone Denim, from North Carolina. They are perfect for people \u2014like me\u2014 that prefer putting in a good year to break in their own jeans.&amp;quot; \u2014 R.G.  &amp;quot;This is the cloud jacket from Aether; I wear one like it often. It&amp;#039;s great because it&amp;#039;s different from most of the other kinds of things on offer at the Pop-Up Flea.&amp;quot; \u2014 M.W.  &amp;quot;Mark McNairy has been part of Pop-Up Flea since the start. He&amp;#039;s selling shoes and clothing from his line Mark McNairy New Amsterdam, like this pair called the Pierce, for the third time running.&amp;quot; \u2014 R.G.  &amp;quot;Stanley &amp;amp;amp; Sons have a highly focused business: they only make two things and they do it really well.&amp;quot; \u2014 M.W. Editor&amp;#039;s note: one of these is on hand, in case you need it: "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
