Gift Guide: For The Gentleman

Putting together a proper gift guide is never that easy. Even more difficult for the gentleman in your life that appears to have everything. As it is never a good idea to buy them clothes (as gentleman as so particular), we kept it to accessories that every man could use. And we even through in some grooming. So we put together our list of top 5 things every gentleman should own:

Caliber Collection Brass Cuff with Diamond, $275.

We have always been a big fan of Caliber Collection – stylish accessories with a conscious.

Each piece in the collection is made from guns and shell casings from bullets that have been taken off the streets by local police. Each series carries a serial number that corresponds with one of the guns that were taken off the streets of Newark by the Police Department. Embedded next to the serial number is a single diamond (approx 0.11cts); strong, precious and rare… like human life.

 

 

The Montana Hat from Tilley, $115

Every gentleman must own a proper hat. The Montana hat (available in black or brown) fits the bill perfectly – classic yet updated. Made with a wool felt that has been treated to repel rain and snow. We particularly like the the broader brim. And it even has discreet ear warmers hidden inside that can be pulled down on cold days.

Special Edition Moon Chronograph Watch, $695

We have always been a big fan of Bulova watches. It’s a classic well made watch at a great price point. Sure, it’s not a Patek Philippe but you don’t have $$$$$$$ to spend on a watch as a gift. And besides a man should buy that kind of watch for themselves. But then again what other watch went to the moon? None other than the Bulova Moon Watch. This special edition watch replicates that original timepiece, updated with our exclusive high-performance quartz movement with a frequency of 262 kHz for unparalleled accuracy, continuing a history of precision timing.

Available at Hudson’s Bay.

Friendship Bracelet from Links of London, $215

What better time of year to give the gift of friendship than the holidays. Give the gentleman in your life a token of your friendship with this bracelet from Links of London. The classic black friendship bracelet gets a sleek new makeover. Thinner than the iconic Friendship bracelets, this mini Black Friendship is perfect for everyday wear. Boasting a traditional black cord and sterling silver woven design, wear this toggle bracelet with other bracelets from the collection.

 

 

Contemporary Shave Set from King’s Crown, $295.

The art of shaving has been making a big comeback in the past few years. In sharp response to the beard trend, a return to the rituals of a proper shave has returned. Trust me, the shaving brush helps to apply the shave soap or cream and actually helps to lift the hairs. This creates a closer shave. This particular set is fashioned from only the highest quality materials and handcrafted in Florence, Italy. It’s slick yet classic.

-Real Best badger hair shaving brush using the thinner and more flexible back hairs.

-Stand and shave bowl are made from high-grade nickel, ensuring a lasting shine.

-Comes with one standard blade head.

 

Good Briefs from The Underwear Expert, from $26

Every gentleman should have a well stocked drawer of good briefs. And we don’t mean just fresh but well designed and good looking underwear. When briefs start to wear thin or the elastic starts to go – they are already passed their prime. They need to be tossed. Ensure the gentlemen in your life are always well stocked with a monthly subscription from The Underwear Expert. We recommend all black briefs but perhaps your gentleman likes colour, so fill in the personality questions to ensure they are surprised with underwear they would actually wear. And don’t worry, they also offer trunks and jocks.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.
