First up is the Koa Stonewashed Minimalist 40mm watch from Original Grain. This watch is partially crafted using a gorgeous all-natural Hawaiian Koa Wood. The steel is a 316L Stonewashed Silver Stainless Steel that’s built to last a very long time. This gorgeous everyday watch is powered by a highly precise and dependable Japanese Miyota Citizen Quartz movement and the genuine leather band is my personal favorite detail because of its classic aesthetic.
With the purchase of the Koa Stonewashed Minimalist 40mm watch, you’ll also receive a free Canvas Watch Roll from Original Grain that safely holds 4 watches for when you’re traveling or tucking them away on your shelf for the day at home.
These Rancourt & Co. Brunswick Boots are some of the nicest boots you’ll find anywhere in America. The upper is constructed out of a subtly textured bison leather that Tasman Tannery in Maine that’s water-resistant and extremely durable. These boots are handmade in Maine from some of the finest craftsman around and every tiny detail of these boots has been carefully considered to create borderline perfection.
The ‘Wallace’ in Red Navy Plaid from Mizzen + Main is a high-performance flannel shirt unlike anything else out there and I mean that in the best of ways. These Mizzen + Main flannels have taken my favorite shirt style to the next level with their lightweight performance fabric that has DryCool technology that’s quick-drying and moisture-wicking. These flannels have a natural stretch from Mizzen’s special fibers (no spandex added), they’re wrinkle-resistant so you don’t have to iron them, and they’re 2″ shorter than their dress shirts because they’re designed to be worn untucked or tucked in, whichever you prefer.
You can pair that Mizzen shirt with the 5-pocket Comfort Twills from Faherty are their best-selling pants ever and for good reason. These are durable, comfortable, and have the perfect amount of stretch that allows you a full range of motion and breathability while maintaining a great weight. These versatile twills will already look great with just about everything in your closet!

True aficionados will love the James Brand ‘Duval’ Straight Blade Pocket Knife, an heirloom-quality pocket knife that’s built to last an actual lifetime. The sheepsfoot blade is made from extremely high quality CPM S35VN stainless steel that offers superior blade retention and wards off any corrosion. The micarta handle offers up some heritage class you rarely see in pocket knives these days and this truly is a brilliant everyday carry option.
