Handsome Gifts for Him

Shopping for the gentlemen in your life can be a challenge—in our experience, men tend to adhere to a fairly strict day-to-day uniform, which makes statement-making gifts a bit of a gamble, and they also seem to purchase items when the mood strikes, rather than cataloguing a “wish list” for the holiday season. So when we decided to curate gift ideas “for him,” we went in search of handsome yet practical pieces that will blend seamlessly into a wardrobe or easily fit into a list of wants. Here, we offer a collection of present ideas we think he’ll love, beginning with a homespun Japanese designed merino hand-knit sweater from Columbus, Ohio-based Kiln Mercantile (above).
