More Gifts Under $100...Eyebobs!

    Actually "eye-bobs"...billed as "reading glasses for the irreverent and slightly jaded," these rate their own post for gifts under $100.  Seemingly endless styles, some with bamboo "temples," some designed as bifocal sunglasses, with the bifocal lower part being the "cheater."  Choose your style, choose your magnification, and then choose your case.  In their inimitable eclectic style, there are various colors for a hard case, ditto a soft fabric case with a magnetic close, and then there's the ultimate--a case made of recycled bicycle tire tube.



There are so many styles, people--both men and women--collect eye-bobs, and they are frequently purchased for use as prescription- glass frames.

Gifts under $100

 Pocket squares can go casual or dressy, adding a pop of color.  Plains (aka solids, but it doesn't work with the alliteration); plains, plaids, paisley, polka dots.

A seven-piece stationery set in its own travel case offers a stapler, utility knife, scissors, locking tape measure, staple remover, magnifying glass, and a reader support.

Get Naked, and you may never want to be undressed again!  Well, an exaggeration, perhaps, but you'll love the silky smooth, stretchy--and form-fitting-- "boxer brief."  Italian fabric, fabricated in Canada.

Wurkin Stiffs...a couple of basics.  It seems one on the biggest problems men have regarding their wardrobes is losing stays.  Isn't it crazy?  You'd think they'd stay, but they just don't seem to.  So, here was have "power stays," a metal version of the oft-bent, then lost, plastic variety.  They come with little magnetic buttons which can be placed under the shirt to hold the collar points in place--sort of a hidden button-down effect.  Also from Wurkin Stiffs..."Knotz"...a small glass container with a pair of cufflinks.

Wallets--bi-fold, tri-fold, leather, with some exotics (like the stingray, shown) thrown in.  Credit card/business card holders, too.

Hats--Kakadu from Australia, Tilley from Canada (with their famous lifetime guarantee) and (not shown) Nat Nast.

Belts from Brighton that belie their price because of their quality.  Many made in the U.S.  Some reversible, some that come with interchangeable buckles.  Both casual and dressy.  Something for everyone, and every outfit.

Robert Talbott Ties

The newest addition at Outlander is a beautiful selection of exquisite Robert Talbott ties, made from the finest Italian silk.  All ties, with the exception of the bow ties, come in a Robert Talbott gift box.

Visually stunning, these ties have an amazing weight and hand.  They tie close to a perfect knot.

Adding to their appeal, they are handmade in Monterey--Talbott's home base.

We've also brought in two of Talbott's "Seven Fold" ties.  Production of each colorway of any given design is limited to 40, and they are hand-numbered.  Note the beautiful presentation box, which reads inside, in part, "...each pattern is created exclusively for Robert Talbott in collaboration with the two premier silk weaving mills in the world, located in Sudbury, Great Britain, and in Lake Como, Italy...Each tie is folded by skilled hands in seven layers of sumptuous silk using an entire yard of fabric.  The tip of the tie is hand-rolled and sewn with a generous margin void of any extraneous lining to assure unfailing stability when worn."
