Gift Guide 102

The Suited & Booted
For the man that dons a dapper suit these little extras are sure to add the finishing touch. Whether it's socks that want to be seen between hem and shoe or a money clip to keep those suit pockets nice and streamlined, sartorial accessories are the way forward.
Gift Guide 103
The Creative
This man is an inventor, an artist who likes to stand out of the crowd. A man who appreciates the finer things, the details. He is a true individual, who cares more about the story behind each product; how it was made, the materials used, its complications and its exclusiveness. The Gift Guide 103 is for our creatives with hand made products from Italy, France and of course here in London. Give the gift of craftsmanship this Christmas.
Gift Guide 104
The Team Player
Whether it's a quick gym session before work or heading straight from the office for a friendly five-a-side; the Team Player is all about convenience. A smart holdall for carrying all your gear around is a must so why not try the Sully Wong Digi Camo print duffel bag. It comes with detachable side pockets so you can take as much or as little as neccessary depending on what's on your schedule for that day. Throw in the Hunter Lab facial scub (to keep those pores clear after working out) and some 'Good Life' sports socks and you're set for a knockout session.
Gift Guide 105
The Commuter
Whether it's the daily commute, a business trip or a working weekend, the Commuter lives and breathes success. A busy gent, with a full event calender requires a reliable companion to sufficiently lug his armory around; and we're not talking about his eager assistant. The Jordan holdall from Sandqvist is a workhorse; waxed canvas combined with rich leather creates stylish practicality. Interior and exterior pockets allow easy access to in demand items while the shoulder strap acts as a useful addition to leather handles when on the move.
Gift Guide 106
The Explorer
Our Explorer is known for that fervent sense of adventure. He continuously searches for somewhere to pioneer, whether it's discovering the untouched Nordic forests or the new pub selling the finest ale down the street. He is up for anything, and therefore is always prepared for a new voyage alongside his flannel shirt, camera and well kept beard. To keep him company on his travels, our adventurer requires a practical bag; something that will stand the test of all terrains, made from quality materials, is comfortable to wear and most importantly store all of his Bear Grylls essentials. The Charlie Borrow Roll top rucksack is your man!
Inspired by the British and Swedish army foot soldiers backpacks of the war eras, the roll top backpack design has been modified but still remains true to the original. Made from the highest grade of English bridle leather, scottish cotton canvas and solid brass and copper hardware from the Midlands, this product is as durable and as long lasting as it gets
Gift Guide 107
The Urban Adventurer
A 21st century gent, the Urban Adventurer works in the city and escapes to the country whenever he has the chance.

A guy who needs all the gear, the Urban Adventurer loves contemporary design mixed with practical utility.

The Modern Man
What truly makes the Modern Man is not what he wears, what beer he drinks or what car he drives. It’s how he behaves, how he treats others, the life he leads. He is certainly informed and always groomed; more engaged and emotionally intelligent. That’s not to say he won’t still forget birthdays, leave the toilet seat up or refuse to admit when he is hopelessly lost. Today’s Modern Man has to be everything to everyone while still being true to himself, therefore he needs to rely on a sturdy bag that addresses the real needs of a hectic day ahead. Our guy is all about being the best man he can be.
