For the Diary Keeper
Smythson Chelsea Notebook in Panama
Pair a fancy pen with an equally fancy notebook. Smythson is our brand of choice, and the Chelsea notebook is the perfect size for a jacket pocket. Of course, get it embossed with his initials or one of the stock icons for a personal touch.
A TV that Always Looks Good
Samsung The Frame, 55-Inch
Art TV competition is coming from all sides as other makers catch up on this market. Hisense came in with an especially formidable competitor, and we awarded it in our Gadget Awards this year. That said, the Samsung Frame still has something special: a deal with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A man of luxury knows all about Van Goghs and Cézannes, and that’s what he wants to display. For now, Samsung is the brand that lets him do that.

For His Flights Out West
Lucchese Hand-Tooled Duffel
If his idea of luxury is inspired by Ralph Lauren’s ranch, a hand-tooled Lucchese duffel is what I’d recommend. In person, it’s absolutely stunning. If the tooling is too much, though, the company makes a similarly beautiful smooth-leather option that’s still got a western feel.
A Hat for an Outdoorsman

Speaking of western guys, you can’t skip Kemo Sabe. It’s the perfect “I vacation in Aspen” brand. Though the hats can be daunting, the Sahara is wearable for guys of all strokes. My dad has worn something similar since the ’90s, and guys ask him about it everywhere he goes.
