Don't we all want our dudes to be dapper? I'm not talking about looking and acting like James Bond 24/7 (because that would mean us ladies would have to walk around looking like a pin-up worthy Bond girl 24/7...and that's just not gonna happen, my friends). What I am talking about is that certain 'je ne sais quois' that those modern-day dapper dudes like Clooney, Gosling, and Depp posses. It's that "I might have just rolled out of bed, but I look pretty darn good....and I totally know it."

Tokyo Bay Speed Watch - A great casual men's watch that evokes the feeling of a vintage motorbike. The rugged leather and canvas strap, aged metal patina of the dial and casing would be the perfect watch with that favorite leather jacket. 

Berkley Illustration Cheetah Portrait Print  & Berkley Illustration Great White Shark - Two gentlemanly subjects from the animal kingdom are featured in these prints - a perfect conversation starter for endless hours in the man cave. The stories behind the prints? After cataract surgery ten years ago, this cheetah realized that an eyepatch can be a real conversation starter with the ladies. His eye has long since healed but his social calendar remains quite full.  Now for the shark...once a popular jazz pianist, this shark has most recently become a song and dance showman. His voice has been described as "a cross between Louis Armstrong and Kenny Rogers". Unfortunately his fierce temper has limited his gigs to biker bars and convict picnics. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

Button Stud Belt by Makr - A champion of leather goods, this entire shop’s good could easily fit into this gift guide. This belt is simple in design - one inch wide, seven button holes, brass finishes. Like the dopp kit, it will darken significantly with age. It's a keeper.
