Gifts for The Coolest Guy You Know
Gifts for The Coolest Guy You Know
The Gift List!
Dad, Beau, Brother, or other — he’s the most challenging person on your gift list because if he needs it, he always gets it himself. This is a great moment to swath him in something cozy (he could always use a sweater), encourage a new hobby (yes, chef), or simply spoil the guy. I have some ideas.
Alex Mill makes clothes that never go out of style. Think sturdy classics to last a lifetime. The Downing crewneck is fashioned from a superfine merino wool blend with a bit of alpaca, made extra cool with little flecks of color woven in the knit. This kind of thing looks great thrown on with jeans — and even better on you when you steal it.
