Part 3 of the guide includes more great gifts in the clothing and shoe department. Pry that mouse out of your hand! And get outside for a stroll and some old fashioned shopping. See links below for entry 1 and 2, and more to come for jewelry, unique gifts and good eats.

THE ARMOURY
168 Duane | Hudson & Greenwich
These shop guys make serious clothing fun.
••• Not for men only, clearly: The custom Scottish cashmere shawl collar sweater comes in all sorts of colors (and other wools as well). $1300.
••• The Argentinian shopping with us confirmed it: the Peccary is the smallest wild boar and makes for great gloves without too much guilt. “They are like the raccoon of South America,” he told us. By Hestra, my fave. $425.

HEMINGWAY AFRICAN GALLERY
88 Leonard | Broadway & Church
••• This is not the obvious go-to for fashion, but I’ve been buying these Maasai beaded belts from Kenya for the young men in my life and they are a big hit. NB: they are one of a kind. ~$85

……………………………

RED WING SHOES
116 Franklin | West Broadway & Sixth
For those who shop US made and US sourced, this is your stop.
••• The classic two-pocket work shirt is a definite for the 20-something urbanite who mostly works the keyboard. $278.
••• The Chelsea boot is the American-made Bludstone. $300.

…………………………..

THE CITY STORE
1 Centre Street at Chambers
For all things NYC, run by the city.
••• Tribecan Josh Bach CIVITAS tie is a map of downtown, in case you get lost on your way home. (He has other towns on his website.) $65.
••• There’s a Tshirt there for every city agency, though the Sanitation logo is the sharpest.

…………………………..

TODD SNYDER AT THE LIQUOR STORE
2 White @ West Broadway
The “lifestyle brand” designer created the J. Crew store at the Liquor Store, and reclaimed the local landmark for his own line in 2019.
••• A classic TS collab: Snyder restyled the LL Bean duck boots from your preppy youth with vintage military tent canvas as the upper. $319.
••• Kind of perfect: The suede Dylan jacket that is $998 pret and $1500 made-to-measure in 15 colors of suede.

……………………………

JAMES PERSE
257 Church @ Franklin
••• Mr. Rogers, elevated. (Though his mom made all of his.) The cashmere cardigan for $550.
••• The cotton shearling-lined Sherpa shirt is reminiscent of LL Bean, only cooler. $350.

……………………………

RAG & BONE
228 West Broadway at White
Founded in NYC by a Brit 20 years ago, the line prides itself on “making shit that matters.”
••• The company is known for its cashmere sweaters for men — I would go for the brown hoodie. $495.
••• The bomber styling on the Pierce shearling jacket makes it much more wearable. $2295.

……………………….

MAHARISHI
38 Lispenard | Church & Broadway
The British men’s wear line blends Eastern and Western silhouettes and graphic influences with a military bent.
••• For the yogis in your life, Yoga Joe in multiple poses. $35
••• Embroidery on the back of the leg makes it just a tad less showy, but still cool. $405.
••• The crossbody bag in two sizes (I can’t call it a fanny pack) means you don’t have to carry his shit. $115 or $165.

……………………………

ALTON LANE
7 Harrison @ Staple
Custom suits and shoes styled on the spot. NB: open only on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday
••• Skip the decision making and give a gift card for custom-designed shoes. $300 will cover most styles.
••• You could also get a custom suit, or just grab this flask to put in an old one. $34.

……………………….

THOM BROWNE
100 Hudson @ Franklin
The store doesn’t allow pictures so it’s hard to shop for this list, but I can’t resist mentioning a few choice items from the holiday list this year.
••• All his skirts for men are special, but loving this embroidered mohair tweed for Holiday 2021. The lining is striped and peaks through the pleats. $4990.
••• He even put his four bars on nylon canvas mittens. The palm is leather. $990.
