Well, gents, the final weekend before the 25th is upon us. You’re probably dwindling your fingers at your desk as we speak, waiting in much anticipation for 4:58 to come around so you can pack up and head to the mall to pick up that gift your significant other has been hinting at for quite sometime. Or not. Well, humor us. You’re out doing what you gotta do to make sure your loved ones get all that’s on their wish lists, but what about your wish list? Dammit, do you even have one? Worry not, friends, we’ve compiled one for you. We’ve got things that you can probably use on a regular basis and a few that should see the light of day sparingly.
If you are not the procrastinator that everyone knows you to be, then we’d love to know what’s on your list! Let us know in the comments.
Note: Clicking image takes you to the product’s site.
What: BLAH Fitted Cap by MISTER MORT
Where: A Continuous Lean
Why: Nice to see someone take fan gear from a not-so-great team (sorry Dodgers fans) and turn it into something worth purchasing. It’s still a well-crafted New Era fitted so don’t think because it’s been changed, you’ve lost something in the process. You’ve actually gained. Plus, there are a few other styles at ACL that may catch your interest if this one doesn’t.
How [much]: $60
What: Pierrepont Hicks Field Tie
Where: Pierrepont Hicks
Why: The piece is available in three different variations – classic, two-tone, and a reversible bow tie. It’s timeless with no barrier to a season. Pull it off in the summer or the winter, it’s sure to look impressive either way.
How [much]: $59 – $89 depending on the style.
What: United Bamboo for Converse 1HUND(RED) Sneaker
Where: United Bamboo
Why: The piece is available in three different variations – classic, two-tone, and a reversible bow tie. It’s timeless with no barrier to a season. Pull it off in the summer or the winter, it’s sure to look impressive either way.
How [much]: $129
What: Timex x J.Crew Military-style watch
Where: J.Crew
Why: It’s simple, and won’t break the bank. Great for daily wear cause if you rough it up, you won’t be too depressed. Plus, they’ve got tons of straps that are relatively cheap as well so swapping them to work with your outfit is a breeze.
How [much]: $150
What: Beats by Dr. Dre Tour ControlTalk In-Ear Headphones from Monster
Where: Apple
Why: Monster’s Beats by Dr. Dre line of headphones are loved audiophiles for the quality and results, but mostly for the endorsement. Being one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all-time definitely does have its advantages. But what if you’re not big on the DJ-style headphones? Beats has these in-ear headphones with ControlTalk so you can do all the things your default iPhone earphones can but with better quality. And the cable’s tangle-free, so you can spend more time using your new toy and less time pulling them out of your messenger.
How [much]: $169.95
What: Taylor Stitch Custom Shirt
Where: Taylor Stitch (More on these guys later)
Why: Isn’t it about time you buy a shirt that truly fits? Pick from TS’s pre-styled shirts or have crafted from scratch. You pick everything. When was the last time you had this much control? You’re not even allowed to pick the color of own bed sheets. This will be a process (up to 3-4 weeks to get the final finished product) but this may be one of the few gifts worth waiting for.
How [much]: From $110 – $320. Worth every penny but if you’re not ready to drop $200 or even $300, start off with a simple white sailcloth twill or the Blue & Green Weekender Plaid (above) and then have it made to measure, copy or order.
What: Tommaso Augusta Track Bike
Where: Randall Scott Company
Why: It’s simple, clean and gives the most bang for your buck. The bells and whistles go out of the window on this one, but we’re fine with that.
How [much]: $299 MSRPs for over a thousand. They’ve got other bikes too if you’re looking for frills.
What: Woolrich Woolen Mills Olive Field Pant
Where: The Bureau
Why: What’s there not to like about these? The Olive twill cotton pant is fully lined with grey/red plaid so when you want to roll ‘em up a bit, there’s actually something to show. Casual or not, either way you can pull them off as they’re slim fitting with a tapered hem.
How [much]: ~ $332
What: WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie Kansai Computer Portfolio
Where: WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie
Why: It’s got compartments for all that stuff you need along with your laptop and a nice A4 notepad for taking notes no matter where you are. It also comes in an array of finishes so if Burnt Henna isn’t to your liking, there’s probably one that is.
How [much]: $450
What: The Brooklyn Circus Varsity Jacket
Where: The Brooklyn Circus
Why: The varsity jacket. Not only for the jocks in their 30s that never forgot about that missed tackle in their senior year of high school that cost their team the championship. It’s warm and it’ll keep you warm but it’s more of a slim cut, so it can blend a bit better with your 2010 wardrobe rather than your 1995 one.
How [much]: $480 online shop should be up any day now but if you can’t wait for that, then hit the link and get directions to their NYC or San Fran location.
What: Blackbird x Alden Christopherson’s Creamery Milkman Boot
Where: Blackbird
Why: Here’s a boot your father can appreciate. It’s built with history in mind and it comes in a timeless all black finish.
How [much]: $649
What: Louis Erard Timepiece
Where: Wolf Designs
Why: Louis Erard makes some fine timepieces. Each watch is blessed with high-grade Swiss movements and leather straps, deployment clasps, and sapphire crystals. The range is plentiful but pieces are already selling out so you may want to get this suggestion over to Santa ASAP.
How [much]: $256 – $760. That’s after a total of 70% off MSRP and shipping is free. Use code – “LE12″. Thanks to Ben at Hodinkee for this.
So, there you have it folks, a nice lineup of things to get yourself. If you hate everything, atleast it’ll give you ideas. We’ll add more things as we think of them (if we do) so check back often!
