Hey. You. Guy who’s getting married this summer and has no idea what to get your side of the wedding party when it comes to the groomsmen gifts. Wallet for the Best Man, watches for the Groomsmen. Not bad huh?
Also… got an extra space up at the head table for a humble affordable men’s style website editor?
Okay, so, that’s quite a bit to invest in gifts for groomsmen. But even if you’re not getting married anytime soon, know that both the Architect’s wallet and the new Button-Stud Sport Timex from form•function•form bring much more “Whoa, thanks man!” impact than their price tags would imply.

The Architect’s Wallet is probably form•function•form’s flagship product and it could very well be a life-long favorite if you’re the type who writes things down. Ideas, lists, observations… whatever. It’s hardly ever a bad idea to have a pen and some paper on you. The Architect’s wallet accomplishes this by slipping one side of an extra small moleskin notebook into the card slot of the wallet. That creates a natural divider with room for a few cards + cash on either side A write-anywhere under any-conditions fisher space pen rides along side in its own leather, um… scabbard? 3.5″ wide so it should fit in most, if not all, blazer & suit jacket pockets. There are plenty of leather shades to choose from, and two different pens (matte black is the other option).
The Moleskin Volant notebook is barely bigger than a credit card.
The new Button Stud Sport is a nice step up from the weekender for those of us who prefer our watches 40mm or above (this one is 42mm). It’s a GMT Style (the 24-hour markers along the outer bezel), but this is an affordable Timex, so it’s GMT in style only. The bezel doesn’t even rotate. But, it does what a Timex does best; tell the time. Date too.
The 15% off code TakesALicking drops the price on the watch + button stud band to just under $80. When at the regular price of $94 you could save a few bucks buying the the strap solo at $48, then picking up the watch on your own somewhere (depending on the price fluctuations of these Timex Ameritus watches online). But the package deal does ship free through FFF, and their customer service is second to none. All watches come with the new leather band already “installed”, and the original nylon band is also included. Four styles of the Timex Ameritus are available through FFF, and there are plenty of leather colors & textures to pick from for the band.

All of the leather is sourced from Horween, and each piece is cut and sewn here in the U.S.A. Ships and returns free within the states.

UPDATE: Congrats to Jason K. who won the watch & wallet from form•function•form!
I’ve been wanting each of these items for a while now! What a great potential prize to win! Thanks Dappered and FFF for the opportunity!
Wow. Seriously beautiful
Awesome to hear about the giveaway, this is fantastic! Any recommendation, Joe, as to what band might be the most versatile with that above watch? And question #2: If the watch face is black and the strap is brown, should leathers still match (I.e. shoes, belt, etc.)
Yep, match those leathers if you can (but if you go with the blue suede or football/pebbled option, all bets are off). The less versatile the color of leather, the more leeway you get.
Most versatile with the black dial/bezel/silver case? Probably the Chromexcel Natural.
Agree about the Nat CXL versatility. I have both English Derby (my new fave) and the Nat CXL button stud bands, with both matte black and chrome button studs. Though I love the English Derby and black button with my black watch face, the Nat CXL with black stud blends pretty well with darker leather accessories…
Also, while I’m on my soapbox, I can’t say enough about the customer service. Top shelf.
Does it fit Field Notes memo books?
Me too!
Those little Moleskine notebooks are the BEST.
Is it just a problem with the mobile site or is there no preview of the way the watch is going to look when you order it?
Beautiful stuff. Thanks for another great competition, Joe!
It should be showing a photo of the watch combo as you select the options…at least, it still is working on my phone. If it isn’t on yours, let me know which page and which options you’re picking so I can dig around and figure out what’s up.
It’s the Timex Sport (or ameritus, as it’s called in some locations–but not on Timex.com, for some reason?)
I don’t think so; unless Field Notes came out with smaller notebooks in the last year or so? This Moleskine notebook is about the size of a credit card, while the smallest Field Notes I know of are ~passport sized.
I think I figured it out. I was confused that the current selection was apart of the slide show. I had expected it to be placed somewhere else since the slide show was runningn when I first got to the page.
If you’re about to spend (or if you’re lucky, get your bride’s parents to spend) several months’ worth of salary on flowers and place settings and a cake, certainly you can allocate enough funds to drop some FFF love on your groomsmen.
Congrats Jason K!
