This new leather accessories company is from Charleston, SC using Vachetta leather.

Vachetta Leather is unique in the modern world. Each skin is tanned according to a Tuscan tradition that dates back to the year 800. The skins are tanned using the trunk and rind of the chestnut tree and mimosa extracts. They are then placed in wooden barrels and impregnated with animal fats. Finally, the individual skins are hung from the ceiling to dry naturally over time. When the time comes to use them, they are polished with amber stone by skilled artisans who work diligently to preserve the small imperfections and wrinkles that give this product its unique personality. It is only through this ancient process that the true character of each skin is revealed and brought to life. Of course each skin differs in tone and has that unmistakable and comforting aroma that few leathers possess in today’s world.

Ball and Buck Zippo

Who doesn’t need a lighter? The Staple Roger Zippo will support American-made products and look damn fine when you pull it out around the campfire or at a holiday party. Since 1933, Zippo has served as an essential accessory to American soldiers and this is a replica of a 1935 style made in Bedford, Pennsylvania with the Ball and Buck hunter logo thrown into the mix.

Altmont 3.0 Camo Laptop Backpack

The perfect present for a brother, nephew or even an urban dad on the go- this limited edition backpack has a padded computer compartment and can take you from the office to the mountains with no problem. There are stretch side pockets for water bottles and umbrellas and a padded back panel for maximum comfort.

Warby Parker

Who doesn’t need new shades? From grandpa to aunt Sue and your best friend, sunglasses are always appreciated. Look to Warby Parker for shades around $95 (prescriptions can be had for around $150) in a variety of styles and colors. To make it even better, for every pair bought they donate a prescription pair to someone in need.

Connor Paperweight

We all have those fancy friends and/or relatives we don’t know what to buy for right? Connor’s paperweights are just the thing. For $85, your swanky buds can have a handcrafted paperweight that is engraved in France and crafted in the US from one of New York’s coolest stationary companies. And they look like they cost a bazillion dollars.

These gifts will score you big points without making a huge dent in your bank account. Check out last year’s gift guide for more great ideas. You might also take a look at our guide to gifts for outdoorsmen.

It’s no secret that Kith has had an exciting year of collaborations that produced a series of interesting sneakers. While Kith has had a fascinating year, the brand’s Kithmas is shaping into some of its best partnerships. To round out their Kithmas celebration, Kith and Salomon have updated two athletic sneakers to add style to next year’s wardrobe. Based on one of Salomon’s most iconic designs and one of their archival pieces, these two new sneakers are a crisp and clean way of ending the calendar year. As with typical Kith collaborations, there’s no doubt these new silhouettes will sell out quickly, making them the final must-have of the season. 
Celebrate with the Kith x Salomon XT-4k and XT-Voyager

Inspired by Salomon’s existing XT-4 retro trail runner, the first of Kith and Salomon’s collaborative sneakers has been updated with new colorways and branding. Made with closed mesh, synthetic leather uppers, and reflective accents, the latest designs are a technical advance on its predecessor. Complete with Kith branding on the tongue and the sneaker’s lateral side, this release comes in two colorways. The XT-4k will come in a white/red colorway and black/red combination, making choosing the right style for your wardrobe easier.
