As requested, here are my ‘Wants’ for this Christmas season. These are all items that have caught my eye in recent months that I have not previously mentioned here.
Let’s start with the new line of shirts at Hamilton, America’s oldest family-owned shirt maker. Hamilton’s been making high quality custom made shirts in Houston for over a century, and this year they introduced the 1883 line of ready-to-wear shirts. The one you see above is the Oxford, which would be my choice.
Moving down my wishlist, my next item would be these Slim Taper Jeans from Portland-based Nau. I had a chance to chat with some of the guys from Nau on a recent trip to their New York pop up, Here/Nau/NYC.
They’re one of the most socially savvy clothing companies I’ve ever heard about. Not only do they consider issues of sustainability on the front end making their clothes, but they donate 2% of each sale to one of their Partners for Change.
Now that’s just a happy Christmas all around.
Accentuating my work wardrobe would be a tie from Motto & Crest. Inspired by classic British club and college uniforms, ties like this Hintock tie are the perfect addition to any Winter outfit.
For my feet, I’m going to have to go with this bucks collaboration between Mark McNairy and Inventory. I like my shoes to be ballsy, and it’s hard to be ballsier than a red brick sole combined with navy blue suede. Love it.
Considering I’ve traversed the US and suggested two items from the UK, it’s only natural that I take you shopping in Canada, right? This Leather Macbook Sleeve from Palmer & Sons out of Vancouver is worth it.
Anyone who knows me knows I’m an Apple fan through and through, and if I’m paying premium price for my laptop, why wouldn’t I want to carry it around it something that makes it look nice?
Your special lady will thank you for the last item on my list. This bodywash by Molton Brown is steeped in Madagascan black peppercorn oil. That’s not a scent you smell everyday, but that’s a good thing.
Bodywash not your thing? Try their bodyscrub bar.
So there you have it. These are the things I’m looking for this holiday season. What’s on your list?

I love those shoes… you should put together another list of budget-savvy wants.
That’s why they’re ‘wants’ and not ‘haves’.
