Whether you’re looking for gift ideas or a quick upgrade for yourself, expect these to come around about once a month. You’ll find new arrivals and old favorites, especially good deals, or maybe something pricey to keep an eye on for future sales.

Part super casual sportcoat great for layering over t-shirts, polos, or OCBDS. Part transitional outerwear. Does it all in a muted, desaturated “after midnight” blue. Has gone on sale already. So hang on for the next code or promo. The most recent 30% off deal dropped it under $140.
Holy smokes. Timex has been on a run lately, haven’t they? Looks like an Aqua Terra. A true GADA watch. Barrel shaped case is mostly brushed but with a polished bezel. 37mm diameter. 18mm lug width with a quick release stainless steel bracelet. That means when you want to, you can easily pop it on a leather strap or even a NATO if you wanna have some fun. 50m water resistance and a mineral crystal aren’t the most amazing specs but… look at it.
Comfortable and then some. The natural Lactae Hevea outsoles deliver sneaker comfort, and are oddly durable too. (Been wearing a different pair of LUCAs for the last year or so. Same sole, lots of miles, showing no sign of wearing down/cushioning is still great.) Like other desert boots, the interior is unlined. So you don’t get sneaker-like padding on interior of the uppers, but they break in exceptionally well all the same, and the suede they use is nice too. Made in Portugal. Also available in a “Ravine” brown leather upper.
Goes with everything from a t-shirt and jeans to a suit and tie. Black on one side, dark brown on the other. A lot of reversible belts seem to put a (too) light brown leather on the other side of black. This is what you want. Maximum versatility. 1.25″ wide. Made in Guatemala.
As the longer the K-shaped economy* continues (*video, worth a watch),the less and less incentive brands have to make solid quality, mid-priced products. Y’know, not $79 plasticky dress shoes, but not $300+ Goodyear welted crazy-nice options either. Nordstrom is still stepping in and filling that void. Made in Italy, Blake stitched, and ships and returns for free. Fingers crossed for a sale.

Service Boots. Loafers. And some suede chukkas just for good measure.
