Alton Brown Bow Tie Collection
Celebrity chef and dapper fellow Alton Brown has teamed up with hook + ALBERT to produce a limited-edition line of bow ties and pocket squares for the 2014 summer season. They've got a number of cuts and reversible prints available, my favorites being the "sweet and sour" tie and the "blueberry compote" pocket square. The ties are all $65 and the pocket…
Greyhours Essential Watch
The Essential is a sleek timepiece made by Greyhours that represents everything I want in a watch. This minimalist watch tracks only the time, day, and date—the only features I really care about—and it's beautiful to boot. And for $250, it's not outrageously expensive despite the use of high-end materials in its production, such as Italian calf leather and an IsaSwiss quartz…
Mehaz 660 Professional Nail Clippers
We mention a lot of fancy gadgets and whatnot around here, but sometimes it's good to think about the little things, like personal grooming. A common mistake I see people making is not taking care of the appearance of their nails—even people whose hands appear in close-up promo shots of iPhone apps (shudder). The first step to fixing this problem is getting…
‘The Hare & The Flying Tortoise’ Collection by Gnome & Bow
“What if bags could be more? What if bags could tell stories?” This is the question Quanda Ong asked himself in May 2013, when he quit his banking job to found fashion company Gnome & Bow. This mindset led him to develop an imaginative brand that focuses on making great bags and other accessories that use clever, subtle details to tell a…
Stalward Ltd.’s Heavy Navy Gingham Tie
Winter may be almost over, but there's still a little time left to rock a nice-looking gingham tie, and Stalward Ltd. has you covered. Their $68 heavy navy gingham tie is both stylish and classy, and is neutral enough to pair with just about any shirt. If this tie in particular isn't your style, they've got plenty others to choose from.
Nice Laundry
Nice Laundry is a company that sells premium, stylish socks for men and women. As their tagline states, their goal is to "rid the world of old and boring socks." They sell individual packs of socks (each containing 6 pairs) for $39, but the real draw here is what they call the "sock drawer makeover", a discounted deal that gets you 3…
Pocket Squares by ‘Put This On’
We're big fans of the Put This On video series around here. As they themselves describe it, it's "a web series about dressing like a grownup." More than that though, they do a lot of behind-the-scenes interviews with people who work in various parts of the industry. Definitely watch the whole series if you haven't already. They also design and sell pocket…
Baxter of California Shaving Kit
I recently linked to a shave kit that was really only missing one key item: a razor of some kind. Now I've come across the Baxter of California Shaving Kit, which has a double-sided safety razor, as well as a nice Dopp bag to carry everything around with while traveling. Also, where the previous kit I mentioned had a simple boar hair…
Field Shave Kit
Something I've noticed a lot of in the last few years is a renewed interest in the old-school, ritualistic style of shaving, often referred to as "wet shaving". Guys are tossing out their modern shaving stuff in favor of the kind of gear their grandfather might have used back in the day, and in turn they're getting a much more relaxing and…
Need
The other day, our good friend Matt Alexander launched his long-awaited startup, Need. To sum it up, Need is a monthly, curated retailer and lifestyle magazine for men. What does that mean? Well, the way it works is that each month, Need unveils a line of awesome, limited-quantity products – such as attire, books, artwork, coffee, and more – that they've partnered…
Sons of Trade Journey Pack
Ever since I picked up an iPad 4, I've been on the lookout for a bag that will snugly accommodate the device along with some other items. The Journey Pack by Sons of Trade ($139) seems to fit the bill nicely. It sports a sturdy felt exterior (available in black, olive, or gray) with water-resistant interior lining, and lots of little storage…
Alessi AL13001 Wrist Watch
A classy, ultra-simple watch with a simple leather wristband is hard to beat. The Alessi AL13001 has a round stainless steel case, 41 mm diameter white face, and a 22 mm brown leather strap that complements any proper outfit.
Viking Edition Beard Head Beanie
Great for staying warm, looking cool, and/or storming castles.
Titanium Collar Stays + Bottle Openers
Speaking of collar stays... for the less thrifty, this 4-pack of titanium collar stays are a bit more pricy but also can open old-school soda bottles.
Hard Graft’s Heritage Card Case
This slim and simple card case has but a single pocket big enough to hold a few bills and a few cards. If you are a minimalist wallet lover or if you are simply in need of a way to keep a few business cards in tact when on the road, the Heritage Card Case is certainly not in want of style.
The 300 Series Chronograph
The 300 Series at Wrong Weather is gorgeous. It's a minimal yet classy chronograph wristwatch that has aircraft grade 42mm brushed stainless steel case, a white face, mineral crystal lens, and tan italian leather band.
