Our Board of Directors took a vote, and it turns out that tiny wallets for phones have never made much sense to us as a collective. These small form-fitting case-like accessories seem to be a middle layer between a case and a means of transportation. Sort of like wearing a Speedo under swim trunks.
However, when people like Landmarks & Lions make tiny phone wallets like these, it’s cause to reconsider our stance. More on their site, via this handy link.

At M.L.G. our æsthetic usually leans towards desaturated colors and earthier schemes. Once in a while we have to throw in a pocket square, tie, or bracelet type of accent to add some color. Another accentable option is the belt, and in this case some really colorful belts made by Garmsville. via Selectism.
Braun, the iconic consumer electronics company, is rereleasing classic watches and clocks that Dieter Rams helped popularize. These were formerly hard to find items, and we’re fairly sure the new releases will be too. via Selectism.
Continuing in the neckwear vein, Necks Tuesday (see what they did there?) will custom make ties for you. Lookin’ good! Based in NYC.

General Knot & Co. makes really nice ties and bowties using found fabrics and repurposing them. Made in the USA, no less! You don’t see that too often anymore in the textile industry. via Selectism.
We’ve mentioned Apolis before, and yet again they’ve got a pleasant set of accessories (scarf, pocket square, bandana, etc) co-designed by Matteo. The red accent is what makes these work for us. via Selectism.
Bracelets are a tricky area to venture into as a gentleman; you don’t want to end up looking too Steven Tyler or like He-Man with giant cuffs. Unless, of course, you want to.
A nice interpretation is this webbing bracelet fastened with a few knots and a dulled fishhook looking piece. Simple enough without being boring, and the hook adds a unique touch.
Here’s a pretty great bottle opener gift for your beverage-enthusiast friends. You could probably make one of these if you have some wood and a nail, but it’s the magnetic cap-catcher that’s the icing on the cake. via DailyCandy.
