Wishlist: What we want this week
From luxe gloves to supercharged sports cars, this is what we want this week
Perfect for any discerning gent, this landmark Scotch whisky is the first to be blended from five precious signature single malts. With an aroma of ripe peach and red apples, the whisky has a smooth vanilla taste, background of soft caramel and spicy cloves and a warm hint of heather to finish. Smooth and characterful, too many single malts certainly don’t spoil the blend.
Travel back in time with the 1951 edition of the Willys M38 Jeep. Previously a civilian model that was militarised at the outbreak of the Korean war, the car has been given a full restoration to make it seriously covetable for classic collectors.
It is in excellent running condition and is even fitted with period-correct items like a gas can, helmet and siren- a feature which you might want to save for when you’re off the main roads…
Watching all your possessions disappear into baggage hold can be slightly unsettling- one can never really be sure that they’ll survive the turbulence of a plane journey.
But, with Tumi’s impressive new suitcase, that worry is eliminated. The model’s contoured aluminium shell combined with its interior system of mesh zip pockets and tie-down straps ensure that your belongings will be well and truly protected on your travels.
The routine task of charging your iPhone or iPad will now be a much more luxurious experience with the marble edition charging station from DOCK+ Lighting. Produced from the finest genuine marble and aircraft grade aluminium, it provides a sleek and supportive base for your device as it gives your battery life.
Available in equally covetable colour options of black or white, the product also comes with a lightening cable in a complimentary tone to ensure it looks nothing less than beautiful in the home.
Chilly hands are not an option if wearing these mittens from Hestra. The brand’s founder originally fashioned gloves for local lumberjacks in his Swedish hometown, so every item is designed with durability and practicality in mind.
With a lining and exterior made from tough yet warm shearling, an adjustable wrist cord to seal in heat, and burnished-gold hardware detailing, these are guaranteed to see you through not only this winter, but many to come.
Cufflinks are often the most treasured items of a gentleman’s accessory collection, so it’s only right that they’re kept in a place of utmost quality. Turn to Linley’s compartmentalised Ebury box, which is crafted from solid walnut and hand stitched green leather. Finished in a grey faux-suede lining, your cufflinks can be stored in organised luxury.
If you consider yourself a dab-hand at photography, the H6D-100c from Hasselblad should definitely be your next buy. A top quality digital camera, the device boasts a large sensor and wide angle lenses to ensure that you are able to capture your memories in spectacular detail, even in poorly-lit conditions.
Patrick Mavros shows their wild side with these sterling silver cufflinks that feature a marching lion. Carefully handmade with a clever spring fastening mechanism, these will certainly be a point of interest the next time you’re sporting formalwear.
Described by the Caterham Cars CEO as “a car that has been built today, but with the essence of the swinging 60s”, The Seven Sprint model from the British automotive experts is for the retro gent that appreciates vehicles of days gone past.
Alongside nostalgic features like a wooden rimmed steering wheel and flared front wings, the wonderfully classic car also boasts welcome updates, such as the 3-pot Suzuki engine.
