Christmas Gift Guide: Manners maketh the man
Words: Gentleman's Journal
It’s finally December, and this means Christmas is just around the corner. It’s finally ok to listen to Christmas carols, finally ok to talk about how excited you are to try and catch a glimpse of Father Christmas, finally time to start perusing the local Christmas tree stalls… Ok, Ok, I’m getting ahead of myself. However, this is the time to start seriously compiling gifts – and The Gentleman’s Journal is here to help you out with the finest gentlemanly products on the market – products that embody the masculinity within us all.
Oliver Sweeney
Nothing screams gentlemanly style more than British tailoring, and Oliver Sweeney is one of the best brands to visit this season for all your worldly desires. We particularly like these Goodyear Welted Derby Brogue Boots; they’re perfect for both the city or the country.
Opperman
Every modern gentleman should own a beautifully crafted briefcase, and Opperman make some of the best on the market. We love the contrast of this black leather with orange lining briefcase – the perfect festive gift.
Spoke
When it comes to seasonal trousers, corduroy is always a great choice. Both traditional and modern, Spoke make some of the best affordable garments you can buy, and these navy cords would make an ideal gift for any gentleman.
Alice Made This
Cufflinks are one of the few collectable menswear accessories a gentleman can buy. Many have huge collections to suit every possible occasion, and the fine products from Alice Made This should be in there too. These simple, contemporary brass cufflinks are perfect.
Alexski
There is never a more appropriate time of the year to buy gloves, and I can guarantee every gentleman will be craving a luscious pair. This is where Alexski comes in. These fur lined leather gloves are perfect for everything from skiing to causal strolls through Mayfair – just don’t tell your girlfriend they’re unisex.
Budd Shirtmakers
Ok, so we’re well aware that shirts are high on the priority list when it comes to Christmas gifts, and Budd Shirtmakers produce some of the finest. This British-born brand are tailored perfectly to fit gentlemanly markets, and we particularly like this blue striped number.
Collier Bristow
Now is also the time of year to be purchasing winter coats. The key here is to choose timeless, elegant coats that will last a lifetime, and Collier Bristow is your brand. This overcoat is the perfect combination of sartorial flair and timeless appeal, and we love it.
Aigle
Aigle are well known for their country-esque apparel, and a brand steeped in heritage too. Its famous wellington boots are known the world over, and we think its clothing should be too. For something cosy and comfortable to relax in by the fire this Christmas, try this great item of knitwear.
Khunu
A little known brand, Khunu introduce Yak wool to the gentlemanly garment industry. If the wool of Yak is good enough for the Himalayan winter, it’s sure to keep you warm, however low the temperature drops. Keep your head toasty with this number.
Blue Beard
Finally, no masculine gift guide would be complete without a supreme grooming product. We recommend Blue Beard, whose dedication to creating the best grooming products is second to none. This shaving gift set is the perfect item to buy this Christmas.
