We’ve waxed lyrical in the past about the importance of making a house a home, and the need to find one core brand that’ll help raise the bar in your bachelor pad. Welcome, gentlemen, to William & Son: the brand guaranteed to make your bachelor pad stand out against everything else out there.

And within this selection of fine products, that is certainly apparent. William & Son has a distinctive and definitely British take on the finest things in life.
There’s something undeniably gentlemanly about having your own set of impeccably made leather games to provide all manner of entertainment for both himself and his guests. William & Son create some of the most finely crafted leather games in the world, and this travel backgammon set is the perfect accompaniment to your daily life.

Any gentleman worth his weight in sartorial salt will appreciate the need to keep all clothes – and accessories – in perfect condition, even in the comfort of your own home. Having a watch box to keep all of your most classic timepieces in is an essential for gentlemen all over the world, particularly those who find themselves constantly travelling. Discreet and beautiful at the same tine, this is the perfect leather accessory for sophisticated gentlemen all over the world.
Until you can afford to have an entire room humidor to keep your wide selection of cigars, you need to invest in something just as beautiful and impressive. Every gentleman will realise the importance of having an incredible cigar collection, but don’t let that go to waste by not managing their storage properly. William & Son are giving you the perfect humidor that, with its dark brown colour and hand crafted, golf printed calfskin exterior is guaranteed to fit into every gentleman’s bachelor pad.
That cigar isn’t going to light itself, and neither are the candles that you’ll inevitably have scattered around your pad. Gone are the days of cheap matches or corner shop-bought £1 lighters, and here to stay are beautiful pieces such as this signature table lighter. It’s beautifully crafted with the finest leather in the world, and having one or two of these scattered around your home is only going to raise your gentlemanly profile.
Perhaps the most important component to any bachelor’s pad is the ultimate bar – and the accessories to go with it. Choosing the products that’ll create some of the most delicious cocktails in the world should be one of the most exciting parts in the bachelor pad process and this recipe cocktail shaker raises the bar even further, by internally offering you different recipes from a variety of the world’s best cocktails, from whiskey sours to the ever-timeless old-fashioned.
