We recently had the opportunity to team up with The Motley on a grooming kit filled with some of our favorite products from the site. The set features five must-have products — toothpaste, face scrub, shaving stick, soap bars and a grooming clay for your hair. Why did we decide to team up with The Motley on this and not someone else, you ask? it’s simple — we want to work with like-minded people and still be able to express ourselves freely and let our “individuality” shine through. We chose the pieces and they gave us the platform. Clap for ‘em. Now as for this kit, I really think it will be a great buy for the holidays whether it’s for yourself or for someone else in your life. It’s about starting your day off right and these grooming products help to do just that.

Botot Toothpaste is like brushing with Big Red gum- ginger and cinnamon leave breath fresh. You have options in the shower with the Townsend Bay duo, which includes both rum and sandalwood bars of soap. Urth Face Scrub gets rid of dead skin and preps your face for shaving with the easy to use D.R. Harris Almond Shaving Stick. Then just style hair with Lock Stock & Barrel 85 Karat Grooming Clay to give hair volume, texture and a matte finish, and out the door you go.

The grooming kit is available now at The Motley.

Here we have a look at LUBIAM‘s L.B.M. 1911 line and its Spring 2012 offerings. The collection’s detailed construction shows in the final product, as does the informal and refined elegance of the pieces. The contemporary fit is blended effortlessly with fabrics enriched by garment dying and washing for a distinct look. Before the lightweight fabrics can be put through the historical dying techniques, thoughtful attention to detail is given to each piece to ensure they can withstand the process.

An Artisan-like dying aging treatments create a worn-in effect. The cotton and cotton linen fabrics contain microstructures, adding texture to the jackets. The blazers of this season contain exclusive sartorial details, such as thinner side cuts for a slimmer fit. Look for the goods to hit select L.B.M. 1911 accounts worldwide in early 2012.

Travelteq and Tenue de Nîmes have co-created a limited edition Laptop Bag that looks to combine the best of two worlds, as it is made from Florentine Vacchetta leather and a characteristic Japanese selvage Chambray. The leather gets its beautiful deep cognac color thanks to the vegetable tanning process. The bag is fitted with eight compartments, 3 of which are zipped, plus one for a cigar and one for your laptop (max 15 inch). This collaboration is limited to 50 hand-made pieces, produced at the Travelteq factory in Tuscany, Italy.

With the winter weather finally here, it’s time to pull out the snorkels and parkas for that added layer of protection. The folks at Alpha Industries sent one of their N-3B Slim Fit parkas over to us to try out and we have to say we’re glad they did. It features a flight nylon outer shell with contrasting nylon lining and polyfill for a thicker layer between you and the elements. The slim fit cut coupled with the longer length give way to added insulation and a effortless look.
