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)

I ran 50 miles on roads and trails—how the Craft Nordlite Ultra 2 performed
Is the Craft Nordlite Ultra 2 the only running shoe you need?
Craft Nordlite Ultra 2

When it comes to shoes, runners have almost too many choices. There are daily trainers, speed shoes, trail shoes, plated racers, and more. High-end models start around $150, so building up a “quiver” of footwear requires $300, $450, or more. That can make the simple, refreshing act of running an expensive hobby.

However, some manufacturers produce road-to-trail shoes that can handle both roads and trails, as well as everything in between. One such model is the Craft Nordlite Ultra 2, which features a supercritical midsole and a lugged outsole. I tested it on the roads and trails of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley to answer the question: Is this the only running shoe you need? Read on for my take.
