With prices ranging from $125 to $295, ManuelRacim’s shirts are a terrific gift idea: The elegant gift-card boxes include a linen pocket square, for a taste of what’s to come. Order now at 44 Hudson, by calling 212-233-0417, or at manuelracim.com. Once he goes made-to-measure, he’s not going back. Sponsored.
