The time is nigh to start finding gifts for the gents in your life; heaven knows they can be murder to shop for. With that in mind, I've collected a few bits and bobs that will add a bit of understated style to any man's kit, be it a pair of gloves, a scarf, or something new to read. These objects range from decidedly trad to rather more contemporary; the modern man finds a balance between the two in his personal effects. Happy holidays!
