Handsome Holiday Picks from Bills Khakis

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 it might be hard to equate a Crocs clog with luxury footwear, the brand has slowly worked to upgrade its lineup to appear much more elevated.

Just in time for the start of the colder months, these lined Crocs bring an elevated style that many aren’t used to seeing from Crocs until now.
