Whether you’re shopping for someone or creating your own wish list for the holidays, we’ve discovered a company that might turn your head as much as it did ours.

It’s Bills Khakis headquartered in Reading, PA and was founded in 1990 way before Made in America was a hot ticket. Their handsome renovated old warehouse is also on the National Historic Register. That’s a lot cooler than our glass and steel office situation. They make a line of practical and comfortable clothing and accessories that can be found at more than 500 select men’s specialty stores across the U.S. We’re all about their flannels – they are beyond comfy and warm and come in a great array of plaids and tartans. There are, however, other items that are vying for  our attention as well.

Here are a few favorite items to consider—and take note, all of these are made in the U.S.A.:

American Bison Work Glove Workers in Washington State cut and sew these gloves out of American bison leather. You’ll love the way these feel as well as perform $125.

The Billings Shirt This machine washable flannel shirt provides the perfect ticket for weekend comfort. Priced at $155 it comes in a variety of colors.

Berkshire Jacket  We love the style of this coat that wears like an over-shirt. Warm, comfortable and attractive in a harvest plaid design. You’ll get a definite “thumbs up” if you gift your pops or bros with this.  $395. (Shown in photo at top)

Although watches tend can come in various colors and designs, they are timeless and elegant. These sleek accessories have earned their spot in all wardrobes as they make for the perfect touch to any look and make for a wonderful collection to start. However, when it comes to the overall make and model of watches, it’s rare to see them stray from the typical design.

Although it seems like a tall task, Vacheron Constantin’s Les Cabinotiers - The Berkley Grand Complication is unlike any timepiece you’ve seen yet. True to its word, this watch contains intricacies that you won’t find anywhere else, truly giving it the moniker of the world’s most complicated watch. With stellar craftsmanship and unique details, this watch is about to become a stellar item for any watch collector.

The pre-owned luxury watch market is down, but prices for these 2 Rolexes are up
Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi

According to the Bloomberg Subdial Watch Index, which tracks the 50 most traded luxury watches, the pre-owned luxury watch market moved down around 0.1% last month, marking the sign of a patient market that wants more. This isn't necessarily surprising —the index has fallen 8.7% in the past year. But there are a couple of Rolex watches that are bucking the trend: the Rolex Starbucks and the Rolex Pepsi, which gained 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively.

The overall stagnation of the watch market can have various factors, including anticipation for newer releases. External factors like economic and geopolitical conflicts have also affected the way consumers choose to purchase watches. Prices soared during the pandemic, so a leveling out at some point was expected.
