Corckcicle Whiskey Wedge

There are plenty of ways to have your scotch or whiskey on the rocks while reducing dilution. There are cubes of stone or metal, orb molds of ice, and now a wedge. The Whiskey Wedge by Corckcicle is a great alternative to the ice spheres, as it melts slower, but will still gently dilute your spirit of choice just enough to allow for the added water to open up more of the flavor and aroma hidden inside your gain based liquor. Our pro tip: make sure you have a squared rocks glass, otherwise this mold will not fit.

Tis' the season of layering, and while we have been focusing on the warmer outer layers we felt it was time to give you a good option for underneath. This plain white cotton t-shirt from H&M has a wider neck, giving it a bit of personality compared to the normal crew or v-necks you are accustomed to. It's 100% cotton, and at a cheap price, meaning they are durable and you can buy a few without breaking the bank. A small investment to tie an outfit together.

Fit note: If you have a wider chest, be sure to go with a larger size as their cut is a bit more snug around the ribcage than most other brands.

Chapman Classic Medium Holdall

classic medium holdall.jpg

The Chapman classic medium-sized waterproof duffle is on the pricier side of what we normally post, but it made our list for good reason. This UK-made overnight bag is worth it's weight in waterproof canvas. With genuine leather accents, a dual zipper design (allowing you to lock it closed) and brass feet give this bag a great look while maintaining a high level of functionality. Did we mention its waterproof? Because it is, waterproof cotton canvas mind you. You don't see a lot of these at your local J.Crew, which is probably why it holds a higher price tag. Caution: This is not a full weekender-sized bag, it is a tad smaller, so don't be disappointed when you can't fit 4 shirts, two pairs of jeans, and a sweater in here along with your chukkas. You've been warned.
