Check out this simple and inexpensive solution for frequent travelers: the necktie travel roll case. While we don’t recommend storing your ties rolled for longer than necessary, this is a great solution for getting from point A to B.
Fill your tie cases with Fort Belvedere ties!

Keep your shirt collars looking crisp and elegant with these horn collar stays from Kent Wang, sustainably sourced from water buffaloes. Each of these stays, which measure 2.5″ by 3/8″, vary in color from a warm brown to a deep tan, and thanks to the natural flexibility of the horn, they will offer years of service, keeping your shirt collar points from appearing lank or crumpled.

Could there be a better complement for your exceptional gift-giving than when they send you a “Thank You” note with the fine stationery that you bought for them? Crane & Co. offers a wide array of writing papers, envelopes, and cards: you can even create a custom set!
Air Tags / Galaxy Tags / Tile Trackers ($30+)
With a tracking tag tucked inside, you will always be able to track down your stray luggage.
Are you constantly losing little items like your keys, the remote, or a commonplace book? Or are you afraid that your airlines might lose your luggage? Consider a discreet but extremely helpful tracking tag that allows you to hunt down those lost items wherever they might be hiding. Consider Airtags for optimization with Apple products, Galaxy Tags for Android phone users, or Tile trackers for a generic option.
Classic Vinyl Records ($30+)
Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue on vinyl is one of our favorite records.
Audiophiles often say that nothing compares to the pressed-in audio fidelity of a genuine vinyl record. We’re inclined to agree, and if anyone on your “Nice List” owns a turntable, consider expanding their LP collection with a few classic records. We suggest In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning by Frank Sinatra, Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, and Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
You can find re-releases on Amazon or originals in your local record shop.
Fort Belvedere Handmade Genuine-HOrn Luxury Travel Shoe Horn ($35)
Whether on the go or at home, a quality shoe horn is a gift that keeps on giving as it improves the life of and reduces wear-and-tear on fine dress shoes. This beautiful model from Fort Belvedere is pocket-sized for portability and made from genuine horn: each one is unique and has its own warm, earth-toned color.

Highball Wood Cocktail Muddler ($38)
A wooden muddler could be the perfect addition to your home bar. [Image Credit: TwoTmbleweeds]
Muddling cocktails helps to release the fragrant oils of citrus fruits and herbs. Some muddlers can be too narrow or slippery, which makes a simple Mojito far more work than it should be. This muddler is nearly as wide as a typical highball glass, offering a better grip and preventing the fruits and herbs from escaping being crushed. For the home cocktail enthusiast, a muddler is a tool that is as attractive as it is functional.

We’ve tested numerous chef knives. There are many we like, such as the Wustoff knives from Germany and the Evercut Furtif from France, but the one we like the most is the Shun 8” Premier chef’s knife from Japan. It is lightweight, surgically sharp, easy to use, and comfortable for most hands.

Fort Belvedere Peccary Gloves, $315
Make him feel like a king with the “king of glove leathers.”
Peccary leather, on its own, is a rare, remarkable material – harvested from wild Peruvian animals, it is renowned for being both incredibly durable and soft. It’s one of the few glove leathers that will become more beautiful with wear. Since leather gloves are often in contact with snow and water, we decided to take peccary one step further. Introducing HydroPeccary: our peccary leather is specially finished in Germany to offer a water-resistant finish, the first of its kind. Finally, our gloves are handstitched by master craftsmen with quirks for extra flexibility and a soft Italian cashmere lining for warmth.
Available in over five classic colors!

With a black resin cap and gold clip and nib, this is one pen that will continue to fetch compliments from those you admire. The M600 Souveran is a mid-sized fountain pen perfect for most hand sizes. Not overly large, but not small either, it will fit easily in your jacket’s pen pocket, on your desk as a showpiece, or in your attache to serve you at the most important meetings of your life.

Classic round sunglasses not only flatter almost all faces but also have the unique ability to make young faces look more mature and more mature faces look more youthful.

He’ll rest easy in this luxurious pajama set!
Nothing will make the man in your life feel like a gentleman of leisure quite like a true silk pajama set.

Belstaff Leather Jacket
Trialmaster ($1795)
Invest in his comfort and his style with a quality leather jacket like the Belstaff Trialmaster. The silhouette of the Panther jacket hasn’t changed in years, so you can be assured the look will remain relevant for years to come. The tumble-finished, hand-waxed cowhide leather also makes it a much sturdier leather jacket than most.
See what we thought about the Trialmaster!
