It’ll be here before you know it. So if you’re in need of a few ideas on what to give (or in some cases, what to put on your own list) this year, this is the place to be for the next couple weeks. Our annual 12 days of Dappered covers one item each week-day between now and December 11th. That’ll leave some time for shipping if you’re the last minute type. All will be reasonably affordable. See the growing archive here.
Just because a guy likes nice things doesn’t mean he’s still not a guy. Meaning: most of us take no issue with storing something nice in a container that’s borderline garbage. Think a nice badger shave brush going into a zip-loc bag when he heads out of town. Or, his new gadget going into a case that looks like he got it on clearance at Staples. Guys are all about the car. Not so much about the garage. Here’s a few ideas for upgrading the garage:
- The Watch Wearer: J. Cook Leather Watch box – $49.00 (above), Red Envelope Watch Case – $59.46 w/ 15% off deal. Cigar style watch travel case – $41.00
- The Traveler: Beckel Canvas Necessary Bag – $23 (above, made in the USA). Neiman Marcus Toiletry Bag – $31.50 w/ code FRIEND
- The Brown Bagger: Waxed canvas lunch bag – $48 – $63, Stanley Ninteen $13 – $18.
- The Tablet User: Jack Spade – $62.00, Saddleback – $41 – $61, Fossil Tweed Table Sleeve – $65, Blue Claw Co. Tablet Sleeve – $75. Old Calgary – $45 (below).
- The Fitness Freak: Ben Sherman Iconic Duffel – $63.00 w/ FRIEND, Herschel Supply – $65.
Anybody have some pictures of that Stanley Nineteen13 from anything other than just straight over top? Website list dimensions as 6x9x2.5 which seems not very deep. I mean, does it even hold an apple?
I have that Neiman Marcus toiletry bag in the shown blue with brown accent color and I’m in love with it. Not only is it large enough to fit in all my stuff, but it also looks and feels like a million bucks. I’m blown away by how nice the quality of the zipper is. The crocodile accent is a subtle touch of class as well. Overall, great purchase and couldn’t be happier.
The tag line on the main page for this article is genius.
Herschel Supply duffel bags seem to be disappearing quickly. Many sites that only weeks ago had stock are now out or the items are delisted. Indeed, Hershel’s own website has removed duffel bags completely. Does this mean they’ve stopped producing them? That would be a shame. I was thinking about getting one after the holidays.
I get what you mean about the size, but the nice thing is that it has those buttons on the sides which if you use them once the zipper is closed, makes it smaller and more manageable. No way would I would’ve paid $124 for it though. Just can’t justify such a high price tag as a student (or even otherwise). I got it for $24 as well and love it.
I don’t have a lot of nice watches but rather a bunch of NATO straps and 3 faces. Is there a way to store those straps?
That duffle bag is now just $54.
