The men on your list won’t be too hard to shop for this season with our selection of retro and new designs that have a universal appeal. Even the most difficult dude on your holiday gift list will appreciate something from our select designers and manufacturers hitting the slopes, streets, runways and holiday parities. Up first is Cruel Pancake — an American style street garb that has a West Coast vibe with a French Belgium twist.
This line has captured the attention of the LA scene and moving its way across the skateboard planes to NYC. I selected their Pink Sky Jacket for its bold melding of colors, but you may also want to purchase a t-shirt with slogans like Cuddle Me Hardcore from their Candy Store — purchase hoodies, t-shirts and pants or just give him one of their gift cards and let him loose. The quality of these garments is rock solid.
From skateboards to snowboards, the active young man needs new headgear or at least a proper beanie. Peter Grimm rises to the top on my list with all types and styles of hats. For the young, active man I have selected the Peanuts True Character line with patches of Snoopy, Woodstock and the rest of the gang. These beanies are well-crafted, comfortable and whimsical (Note: Charlie Brown Christmas turns 58 this year)!
The wearer will soon realize just how awesome and timeless they are as a conversation starter in between snowball fights, sledding and hiking. I love Snoopy however I always related the most to Woodstock. Pick a character that suits your recipient or get him the entire Peanuts gang from Charlie to Lucy and Franklin plus Pig Pen…
I fell in love with this Talentless Heavy Weight Hoodie. I’ll explain what they mean by heavy weight but my first attraction to this garment was that perfect color (Salvia) for the season. It is, in fact, seasonal so now is the time to make a purchase. The company’s mission includes choice fabrics and in the case of heavy weigh hoodies, they sourced a 500 gram jersey knit fleece — the thickest cotton fleece to keep the warmth inside without looking bulky or hot. I recommend purchasing two of them, one for him and one for his significant other.

Upgrade his all white sneaker and high-tops this season with the suede and leather sneaker called LOUIS by La Canadienne. These kicks are cool enough to trek the world from court and playing field to the holiday party and dance floor. They are suede on the outside with a super-comfortable leather lining on the interior. The contrast of navy and white are stunning and they are made in Italy so you know the quality is top of the line and the detailing is classic. These sneakers pair perfectly with jeans, casual slacks or a tailored suit.
