Let’s just say that your so-called dance card this holiday season is full to bursting at the seams. Speaking of seams, you’ll need to dress the part... and read on.
It’s not every day that you come across a velvet blazer from a fellow who’s clothed the likes of President Clinton (Bill: huge velvet fan). If you want it customized to your exact specifications, the guys at Wingtip can arrange that. It’s like Christmas came early.
Consider this your ugly-Christmas-sweater upgrade, souped up with a side of backcountry lumberjack dapperness. It’s made by Golden Bear in Potrero Hill, with leather-lined pockets, Woolrich Woolen Mills plaid and wood buttons. Actually chopping wood isn’t required.
Nothing says the holidays like a swatch of Royal Stewart plaid. And nothing screams the holidays like these pants made with that plaid. They’re wool on the outside and silk-lined on the inside. But that’s for you to know and one lucky person to find out.
Sure, you could go bow tie. Great look. But this year, we’re thinking... bolo tie. Just kidding. Go big with a red plaid necktie like this one—or veer slightly more professorial in the gray houndstooth. Sometimes you just need to zag.
Lincoln: great movie. The reason: Daniel Day-Lewis, mostly. But also his top hat. Pay homage with your own custom one made from rabbit felt. Assuming you’re not going to be anywhere near Ford’s Theatre.
You may, during the course of an office holiday party, find yourself making decisions. When making those decisions, it may help to have an angel and a devil on your shoulder. Or at least on your sleeves, as with these cufflinks. And no, they can’t undo anything involving your body and a copy machine.
