Here’s a follow-up on that Clarks Wally’s for Rocky Mountain Featherbed… we bring a further look at the Japanese vest maker’s offering for Autumn/Winter 2012. When you focus in as much as they do on doing one thing great, you get results that stand out. Detailed stitching elements are new to the Rocky Mountain Featherbed vests.

CH and GP both mention these beautiful leather luggage tags from notebook maker, Moleskine. Priced well in the range of most – around $10 – the luggage tags will either add a dash of color to your bags or actually get lost luggage back to you. Designed by Giulio Iacchetti, the luggage tags are modeled after Moleskine’s signature “In case of loss” page found inside Moleskine notebooks and planners. Find them online at Moleskine and Amazon.

Paris’ Bonastre previews their forthcoming Spring Summer 2012 collection of finely crafted leather bags for men. For the season, they’re sticking to the natural side of leather with treatments composed of oak bark and olive oil. Manufactured in Spain, the Bonastre collection looks wonderful.

iPads require a lot of putting in and taking out of a case. If this is an action you often find yourself doing in public then I guess buying yourself a fancy case just makes good sense. This one from Steve Mono is very simple and as a result, very stylish. The blue calf leather is a pretty spot on shade and the envelope design is right up our street. Far Fetch has it.

Ghurka’s origins begin in Connecticut (hello!) sometime around 1975 when designer, Marley Hodgson took his love for fine British leatherworks and applied it to belts and accessories. More than 30 years on, Ghurka continues in the fine tradition of its past with a very wide selection of leather bags. We take a look at items from Ghurka’s Original Leather offering, which is sure to catch the eye of many out there.

Now that it is a bit later to order online, you may consider visiting Ghurka’s NYC shop at The Sherry Netherland, 781 Fifth Avenue.

We’ve featured a few of those ‘off down the woods to collect logs and hang with deer’ gloves. The rough and tough variety that allow you to pretend to be hunter or competitive logger. Now we turn to something a little more refined.

Tailor Timothy Everest does a nice line in accessories, these gloves are our pick of the bunch. Hand made, hand stitched in England. Brown leather is trimmed with a bright yellow but behold the lining; purple Scottish cashmere no less. Too fancy for communing with wildlife.

Another little exclusive from the North Sea Crew. We had to bring you up close and personal with this one because it’s both navy and a satchel which means it has a head start against all the other bags. The great thing about this one is that it’s taken a classic style and made it less 1940s schoolboy. Not that there’s anything wrong with this look but it’s nice to see the ubiquitous kids carrier made a little smarter for the grown-ups. Of course, construction, materials and fixins’ all top notch quality, hitting stores soon.

We’d never use this site to gift-hint to loved ones. Never. Seriously, we wouldn’t. But if we were lucky enough to receive this from someone who recently emailed to ask what we wanted then we’d be both surprised and very happy. We featured these guys a while back and return to show this exclusive colourway for Garbstore. Belt makers The Wiley Brothers have been up and running since 1999.

Based in the U.S  they use the finest English Bridle leather for their incredible goods. Garbstore describe “Wiley Brothers 1 1/4″ width hoof pick belts go through a detailed 15-step process ranging from cutting and sizing to burnishing and stitching”. Everything made with much attention to detail, the perfect present for, y’know, whoever.
