Here’s a roundup of everything I’m wishing for this holiday season.
#47 – Rubato Suede Belt
I own this already—sorry, cheating the “wishing” part—and I’ve been wearing it non-stop since buying it at the Permanent Style pop-up in NYC. It’s become my favorite belt of all time and it can be your favorite too. $195 at atemporubato.com
#46 – Nocs Mini Speaker
I love how beefy and brutalist-looking these speakers are. I’d love to see them in my living room, connected to a record player, and playing some jazz music. $800 at nocsdesign.com
#45 — Tembea Market Tote Bag
I love the selvedge material they’ve used for this tote bag. I’m curious to see how it ages over time and the type of fades you’d see on the handles. $180 at clutch-cafe.com
#44 — How To Make It In America (Seasons 1 & 2)
I’ve been collecting my favorite movies and shows digitally for years and I’m looking to add this series to my library. $19.99 for Season 1 and $19.99 for Season 2 at tv.apple.com
#43 — Rubato Black Socks
I need another pair of dress socks to go with my black Alden penny loafers I picked up recently. These ones from Rubato look perfect. $35 at atemporubato.com
#42 — Collapsable Foam Roller
I’ve been needing a foam roller while traveling, and this collapsible one looks like the perfect size for my suitcase. It’s such a great idea, and perfect for the other fitness junkies like me. $59.95 at amazon.com
#41 — Honda Motocampacto Scooter
I just think this little scooter is so cool, and love the futuristic design. I’d love to have one parked in my living room, ready to go at a moments notice. $995 at dreamshop.honda.com
#40 — Wireless Bluetooth Transmitter
I saw someone using this on our recent trip to Texas and immediately knew I needed this in my life. I tend to watch movies on plane rides but have always wished for Bluetooth support. This unlocks the ability to use my AirPods with all airplane screens. $34.99 at amazon.com
#39 — RRL Herringbone Blazer
David Coggins included this in his recent gift guide and I couldn’t help but fall in love with this herringbone blazer. I’d love to add it to my wardrobe ASAP. $790 at ralphlauren.com
#38 — Opal Tadpole Webcam
Such a cute little webcam replacement for MacBooks. I love the industrial design and care the Opal team has taken for each of their products. $175 at opalcamera.com
#37 — Freewheeler’s N-1 Deck Jacket
After reading an interview with the founder of Wooden Sleepers, I’ve been really into vintage deck jackets, but haven’t found the right size or color. This newer version from Freewheeler looks great. $1,445 at sonofastag.com
#36 — Hermès Silk Bandana
I’ve admired these bandanas from afar, as they’re really expensive for an item I might not wear all that often. I’ve had some luck finding more affordable options on eBay. Tucking one inside a shirt looks nice, and gives an outfit a touch more elegance. $217 at eBay.com
#35 — Alden Suede Boots
I’ve been buying all of my Alden’s off eBay as of late, and the next pair I’d like to add to my collection are a pair of snuff suede chukka boots. I usually try to look for pairs that are hardly worn, or even brand new, but they’re getting much harder to find in my size. $375 at eBay.com
#34 — American Optical Sunglasses
Ever since watching Top Gun: Maverick, I’ve been itching to get my hands on a pair of aviator sunglasses. While my face doesn’t work well with the larger, more rounded frames, these ones from American Optical look like they’d be the perfect fit for me. $250 at aoeyewear.com
#33 — Rubato Cardigan
I tried this on and immediately knew it was a piece I had to add to my wardrobe. While I wasn’t able to pick it up in NYC, I’ve been thinking about it ever since. $295 at atemporubato.com
#32 — Drake’s Tie
While ties seem to have faded in terms of importance, I want one I can always rely on whenever the occasion arises. This one from Drake’s is lightweight, beautiful, and goes with almost everything. $255 at drakes.com
#31 — Bryceland’s Western Shirt
While I was lucky enough to visit the Bryceland’s shop in Tokyo last year, I didn’t get a chance to try this shirt on. I wish I would have. $314 at brycleandsco.com
#30 — Vintage Levi’s 501s
These pair of selvedge, vintage Levi’s from the 1970s look fantastic. And, what do ya know, they’re in my size. These tend to be rare these days, so if they fit you, I highly recommend buying them. $399 at eBay.com
#29 — Stoffa Raglan Coat
It’s rare to see a top coat in a natural colorway like this one. It would complement most of the darker pieces I’ve included on this list really well. And, anything from Stoffa is just top-notch in terms of quality and craftsmanship. $2,800 at stoffa.com
#28 — Stoffa Single Pleat Trousers
I adore this brand, especially their pants. I tried on a pair last year and loved how they draped on my body. I want the black colorway and if I got them, I’d wear them every day, guaranteed. $475 at stoffa.com
#27 — Ghurka Express No. 2 Bag
I became a fan of this brand after Michael Williams from A Continuous Lean included them quite a few times in his writing. I really like this large travel bag and while it’s quite expensive, they seem to hold up well over time. $2,695 at ghurka.com
#26 — RRL Concho Wallet
I’m on the hunt for a new wallet, and love the details of this one from Double RL. My only fear is how bulky it might get and I’d hate to for it to turn into a George Constanza situation. $395 at eBay.com
#25 — Barbour Spey Jacket
I learned about this jacket from a GQ article written by Jake Woolf and I’ve been on the hunt for one ever since. This one on eBay appears to be in my size. Wink, wink. $350 at eBay.com
#24 — Junior Espresso Maker
While I don’t drink regular coffee, I have been interested in making my own decaf espresso drinks. This little percolator looks so cute and I love its design. $39.99 at eBay.com
#23 — The Anthology Knitted T-Shirt
I’ve been looking for a dressier alternative to the traditional T-shirt and this one looks exactly like what I’m looking for. I love the ribbing details along the bottom, allowing for a cleaner look when worn with dressier pants. $120 at theanthology.net
#22 — The Anthology Knitted Sweater
I love the ribbing detail on the cuffs and bottom hem of this sweater. It looks like a great piece to layer over or wear all by itself. $235 at theanthology.net
#21 — The Anthology Wingman Blouson Jacket
This jacket would pair perfectly with dark blue denim or charcoal grey pants. I want it so, so bad. $780 at theanthology.net
#20 — Polo Ralph Lauren Wimbledon Hat
As a recent tennis fan—and long-time Ralph Lauren fan, this combo is just what I’m looking for in my next hat purchase. This one is also great for wearing to the gym. $73 at eBay.com
#19 — Drake’s Games Suit
A great casual summer suit to buy ahead of time for next year. $1,072 at eBay.com
#18 — Sunspel Cable Knit Jumper
I have a couple of cable knit sweaters, but none in a darker color like this one. It’s a classic sweater style that provides a subtle amount of texture for all of those holiday family photos. $280 at sunspel.com
#17 — R.M. Williams Gardner Boot
I need a sturdy boot that can handle the rain while remaining comfortable all day. I prefer the black color, and like that the oiled texture that keeps water out. $539 at rmwilliams.com
#16 — Sunspel Riviera Long Sleeve Shirt
I own a few of the short-sleeved versions and always enjoy wearing them. I really want this long-sleeved version in black. $190 at sunspel.com
#15 — RRL Rancher Jacket
Another amazing jacket for all of this chilly weather. I’m imagining a life where I’m living out on a ranch, with some cowboy boots, and herding some cattle, all while wearing this. Yellowstone, baby. $350 at eBay.com
#14 — Drake’s Chore Coat
I had a chance to grab this chore coat off eBay but was outbid at the last second. I’ve been thinking about it ever since. $730 at drakes.com
#13 — Rimowa Cabin Suitcase
It’s a classic for a reason. The design and quality are notorious at this point, and while it’s not super practical compared to an Away or Monos suitcase, it’s still such a beautiful object. $1,525 at rimowa.com
#12 — Drake’s Oxford Shirt
Drake’s makes my favorite Oxford shirts but I don’t have one in blue! I consider it a “must have” in your wardrobe. $275 at drakes.com
#11 — Kaptain Sunshine Traveler Coat
If I ever go back to NYC or Tokyo in the winter, I’ll need something to keep me warm. This coat looks right for the job. $1,195 at namu-shop.com
#10 — Birkenstock Boston Clog
I’ve been needing a pair for walking around our apartment during these colder months, and these black suede ones look perfect. $158 at birkenstock.com
#9 — 3sixteen RS-100x Denim
I own a pair of their previously widest cut, the CS (or classic straights) but this new cut, the “Relaxed Straight” looks very appealing and more in line with the look I’m aiming for. $230 at 3sixteen.com
#8 — Rolex Submariner Ref. 16610
This watch hasn’t been attainable for me—and it’s still not—however, it’s been on my wishlist for years now. I love how this “Kermit” green bezel has faded over time. $13,950 at tropicalwatch.com
#7 — 3sixteen White T-Shirts
I’ve been wearing white T-shirts a lot lately, and I’m in need of an upgrade. I’ve owned a couple of these over the years, but never in white. I’m also interested in seeing the different improvements Andrew and Johan have made recently to the fit of these. $98 at 3sixteen.com
#6 — BillyKirk Sunglasses Case
BillyKirk is one of the highest quality leather goods makers out there. My sunglass cases have been falling apart and this one from them looks like it will last a lifetime. $95 at billykirk.com
#5 — Casatlantic Mogador Pants
These navy pants look great with anything, and the way the team at Casatlantic has styled them just makes me want them even more. $180 at casatlantic.com
#4 — Anglo Italian Suit
I need a suit for my wardrobe, and this classic, charcoal grey one from Anglo Italian looks fantastic. $1,554 at angloitalian.com
#3 — Serica Field Watch Ref. 6190
As no surprise to my readers, I needed to include this watch on my list. I don’t think it’s in the cards for this year, but definitely keeping it here, because why not? $900 at serica-watches.com
#2 — Cavour Tassel Loafers
I’ve been searching for some black suede shoes and these tassel loafers look like a great option. They’re slightly dressy, but the suede makes them a little more casual. $390 at cavour.com
#1 — Colhays Shawl Collar Cardigan
I’ve talked about this cardigan before and haven’t stopped thinking about it. It’s the only thing I hope to get this year for Christmas. Santa, if you’re listening, I promise I’ve been nice! $520 at colhays.com
