So far we’ve dished out some great gift ideas for The Man Who Means Business and The Youthful Trendsetter. Next on our list of guys is The Socializer: the social behemoth and man about town. Take a look at what type of things you can get him this Christmas:

I think we’ve all seen it before at least once. The pre-packaged Calvin Klein shirt gift from Winners that never ends up your size and boxy enough to rival Lego. But we have a plan for you.
1) Find out which one of his shirts you (or he) likes the best.
2) When he’s not wearing it, sneak into his closet and find the size of it.*
3) Buy that size shirt of either Franco Negretti($145+) or Gregory Allen ($275).
The shirts are playful, the patterns occasionally daring, the colours bold, and the fit is modern cut. If he’s a social demon, he’ll love it.

Look at this bow tie. There’s leather! Gregory Allen made waves last year when we introduced these plaid bad boys (plaidboys?), and they make for a perfect gift in the stocking or in a separate box for $100. An instant attention getter. Read more here.

More leather! This time it’s from Will Leather Goods, and leather is their specialty. A man about town needs to only bring a few wallet essentials before heading out: cash and cards. Slim it down with one of these fresh wallets for $65-$80. See more about the independent company and a great video that details how their leather is processed here.

Indoor or Fashion tints are huge at the moment. Every day another actor gets photographed looking like they stepped out of GQ circa 1973 with a kick ass light blue or rose tint on their lenses. We are starting to see more and more of our clients do the same as well. The lenses on this frame are light enough to be worn inside and out while still maintaining 100% UV A and UV B protection.
– Spectacle

New from the brilliant minds of Fujifilm is the W3 10-megapixel camera ($499). Slim enough to carry around in your inside pocket and pants, and it has wow-factor written all over it. But there’s something special about this one: It’s 3D. We’ll refer to the notes to explain this one:
Relive your favourite photo memories as if you were there again for the first time. The eye-popping 3D technology you have enjoyed in 3D movies and 3D video games is now right in the palm of your hands with the Fujifilm Finepix 3D W3 Camera. Forget the goofy-looking 3D glasses-the twin Fujinon 3x optical zoom lenses imitate how our eyes view things, by shooting the same photo from varying angles. This process creates the impression of perspective and depth, resulting in a 3D image. When you’re ready to view your photos, simply press play and view your pictures in real 3D on the camera’s 3.5″ LCD screen, or view your photos on your big screen 3DTV. Fujifilm’s FinePix 3D camera also records stunning 3D HD movies in quality stereo sound; giving you a 3D movie theater experience right in your own living room.

What if he doesn’t fall under any of these three categories? What if he is The Jack of All Trades? Stop in tomorrow on Friday and see what gift ideas you can bring to him!
Need a stocking stuff for your husband/boyfriend/father/brother/son/uncle/grandfather/nephew/cousin/boss/partner/lover?
Fortunately we’ve got just the thing for those with gift-giver’s block.
Why not show a bit of fun in your gift with Cuffwear‘s Marvel Comics cuff links! Whether he’s a fan of Spiderman, Ironman, Wolverine, The Hulk, or Captain America, this works as a perfect stocking stuffer for most guys.
DID YOU KNOW: Cuffwear’s owner Chris Zownir was the DJ at our Red Light Affair Fashion Show.
Need a sharper collar? Keep falling out? Or maybe the Gotstyle Collar Stay Business Cards you got from us are starting to wear out. In either case, we have the perfect solution.
At our cash desk are Wurkin Stiffs Power Stays – a magnetic power stay that clips two small magnets and holds your collar stay in place through the shirt. And don’t worry, not only do these magnets stick tight, they also come with a bunch of ’em (in varying sizes) just in case.
Power Stays are available at $40 each.
Recently featured in GQ, Will Leather Goods “are contemporary reworkings of classic, functional style used by generations of working and fighting American men and women. Using tools and materials from postmen, from soldiers, longshoremen and working cowboys and issued a line that stands as a modern remix, sturdy and wearable enough for travel on trains, planes, taxis, trucks and bicycles but sleek and clever enough to sport with pride at your destination, whether that be an office, a grand party, or a dinner with friends.”
Available at Gotstyle are Will leather bag ($550, pictured above) and card, slim fold, & zip pouch wallets ($65-100). Check out the bags and descriptions after the jump.
Here’s our second run at the new M. Cohen jewelry pieces that just arrived last week – this time with more to read!
Each month, M. Cohen releases new styles, each piece is handmade in his Los Angeles studio. All pieces are timeless and have been called a collector’s items by many, as some pieces are more rare than others. Each and every piece is guaranteed for life. M.Cohen works with sterling silver, brass, gold plated sterling silver, yak bone, ivory, rare coins and more. The bone beads are actual yak bone. Many of these designs are released in extremely limited quantities as well as one of a kind pieces. The collection is made to layer – you can wear one or 10 at a time, it’s up to the individual.
Cohen’s up and coming unisex line is an easy wear for men. His combinations of leather and silver offer a rough yet delicate and trendy upscale appearance, and are great for layering.
M.Cohen pieces have been rocked by celebrities such as Johnny Depp, Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi, Buckcherry, Colin Farrell, David Cook, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and many more. They have also been featured in films and television shows including Dexter, The Hills, American Idol, The Next Great American Band, Hancock, The Game Plan, and magazines such as Us Weekly, Star, 944, and Spin.
