Do you see the title of this video? Gents, I don't have time for a fancy intro. Let's
get right into it, 101 Holiday Gift Ideas. Now, I'm not going to be able to cover all
101 items in this video. No, in this video, I'm going bring you some of my favorite items,
the items that I've got at the top of my list. But, if you want to see the full list, go
check it out here at Real Men Real Style. Over there, I go into all 101 items. I link
directly to the companies. I've got discount codes, everything you need is in the support
article. Now, a couple things guys, every single item
on this list I own and I have tested. I literally some of the items on here I've had for five
years. Some of them I've only had for about five weeks, but I have at least tried to run
through the gaunt the gauntlet to make sure that I'm only recommending the best.
Now, the second thing I need to say is a number of these companies have been sponsors. They
have at some point paid me money. So, understand that, yes, I've got a little bit of an incentive
to bring the stuff to you, but I put my name on every single one of these and I stand behind
my recommendations. So, guys, hopefully you're able to take this
make your shoppings just a little bit easier this Holiday Season. And don't forget to use
the links that I'm referring to you because a lot of them are going to apply a discount,
other ones you've got to use the discount code, but I want to make sure you get the
best deal. So, first stop on my holiday gift guide, guys,
I've got the NutSac and it's an American-made bag very rugged great-looking bag. Right here,
I've got the Man-Bag Dammit, MBD bag and then, this other one the satchel.
Now, the MBD bag is great, a little bit too small for my needs. I actually really love
the satchel. Let me tell you about this thing. So, a lot of guys are going to resist the
bag like this. It's like, oh, isn't that a man purse?
Guys, I can tell you I never felt like I was carrying a purse. I took this on my latest
trip from Minneapolis down to Dallas, Texas as I'm traveling with my son, I've got a
couple forms of identification. I just got a lot of things and I didn't want to have
to carry it. I got I get tired of carrying my keys, my phone, my wallet, all this other
stuff that I need to carry with me. Also, I had some important paperwork. So,
it all fit in here in addition to our iPad, a few other things, everything was in one
place. People are asking me all the time like, okay, well, I've seen this used in Europe,
but in the United States or maybe some other parts of the world where something like this
just isn't accepted. What I love is they used a waxed canvas, a
very tough material. It's got this leather. No, I mean I never felt like I was carrying
a purse. I always felt like I just simply had my gear properly stowed. Again, guys,
this is made in the United States. It's got a really rugged feel. This thing is going
to last a lifetime and that's why it's on my Holiday shopping list.
Next stop on the list, guys, we've got Zoratta. And, this may surprise some of you guys because
you're like, what -- Antonio why are you recommending jewelry? Well, I can tell you
guys because so many men that I meet they are stuck in a style that they've had for
ten to twenty years. And, they're so conservative, I know this I grew up being very conservative.
But, what I found I've really enjoyed adding a few pieces here or there to my wardrobe
and I find Zoratta makes quality men's jewelry and it's going to be at a price point that
you're not going to break the bank. And you can experiment with some other bracelets
because you may find it's not for you, okay, well, then move on, but you may find, you
know, I just love the way that the beads feel on me. It's like a watch or it's like another
necklace. I just find that, wow, this is getting pretty cool. And, again, Zoratta one thing
I love about them is they're growing as a company. And these guys have a great Instagram
following, so go check that out if you're looking for inspiration.
But, they're getting into all types of colors, so they just recently got this gray right
here. So, maybe you don't want something as stark as a black, they've also brought
in a lot of silvers. They're really big on the lions and in fact, they're starting to
get into little rings like this. Again, these are not going to be super expensive. They
come in at a great price point, so you can test the waters and see if it's right for
you. Next stop on my list is Würkin Stiffs. And
then, you got to love a company that innovates. They're a family business out of Florida.
They took something so simple. They took metal collars stays made sure that the metal collar
stays were magnetized, puts magnets next to the metals and they were able to keep people's
collars in place. So, that was their big claim to fame.
This product right here is great as a gift because it comes with three different sizes.
So, if you want to give something to a guy, but you don't necessarily know what size or
if you've got various collars that need different sizes, this is going to be great. It comes
in really nice case full with the magnets, I mean just overall a great product.
But, they didn't stop there and that's what I love about this company is that they end
up sending this new dopp kit they developed. And, I don't know about you guys, but I've
had dopp kits actually leak. And to me the point of a dopp kit is whenever something
explodes like your shampoo. It's supposed to stay in here. So, I was always wondering
why do they use materials that actually leak. These guys used a silicone plastic to create
a water -- basically this is 100% waterproof. Nothing is leaking out of this. It's at a
great price, they got all types of great colors, so go check out this new dopp kit.
By the way, I've some extra sets of those are collar stays. Put down in the comments
which ones you like. Be very specific from their website give me the exact details of
which one you like because guys you know I love to send out these extra things to you.
But, again, it's a great family-owned business. Make sure to support them and these things
will make great stocking stuffers. Next stop on my list, gentleman, is PMD Man.
It stands for personal micro abrasion tool. And, a few years back I had no idea what a
personal micro abrasion tool was. I met the guys over at PMD they came out to my StyleCon
event. I learned more about how many men can be helped by this.
And, yeah, my aesthetician friend she's telling me how more and more men are coming in, they're
caring about their skin. They want to get rid of acne scars, they're wanting to get
out, you know, maybe they just got rough skin. They are wanting to basically go through smooth
it out and just have a better look. That's what this is about.
Now, if you go get it professionally done which is a great thing, but it's going to
cost you quite a bit anywhere from $100 to $200 per treatment. Oftentimes, you're going
to need multiple treatments. The great thing about that is this cost less than one single
treatment and you've got, you know, quite a few before you're going to have to go through
and get more these discs. And that's what I love about this tool.
So, like I said I didn't know a whole lot about this, but by following these instructions,
I felt very safe testing out this tool. This may be a great option for you and I really
respect the fact that they're so careful about how to use this properly which for me was
a big concern. Now, guys, if you decide to grab this, I've got a link down in the description
with also a really cool discount code. Next stop on my list, gentlemen, Soul Socks.
And, if you can't tell, these are bright-colored socks, these things are fun they're creative.
And if you're familiar with my channel going back a couple years, you'll know that I've
talked about these guys before. And, what I love about this sock company is they make
socks that actually stand up very well to wear and tear.
So, that was when I talked with their founders years ago they were really adamant about that.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'd have to say the socks I got from them three years
ago those have no holes and it's been three years. And I can't say that for a lot of other
companies because I probably have had, I don't know, fifteen sock companies send me test
samples of their socks and the vast majority of them within a couple weeks, I'm saying
after just a few wears holes start to develop. These ones have stood up very well to the
test of time. And what I love is they're a subscription company. So you can get one
sock, they got a sock of the month that they put out a new one every single month. Really,
you know, and they go pretty wild, so if you like wild socks, this is the company for you.
But, a great company they design these right in New York City and well worth your time,
so go check them out, guys. I'm going to have a link and a great code for you to use down
in the description, so go check it out. Next up on my list, gentlemen, People's Choice
Beef Jerky. These guys are out of L.A. and I wouldn't have expected great beef jerky
to come out of L.A. But, this is four generations, a family-owned business since 1929 and I love
it here on the box. I can see that, you know, started off with John and it went to Paul
it went to Mark and Brian. He's been in touch with our guys and that's how we got -- they
were telling us their story. I love a great family-owned business. And, better than that,
I love a great product, so here's what I did. As we got this beef jerky sent to us and I
passed it around and lo and behold there is nothing left. So, I had Ryan Masters in town,
my son also helped him out quite a bit. But they had this like Carne Seca-Limon gone.
There's a little bit left of the Sweet Chili Habanero. Okay, they left me a little bit
of that, so not everything was taken. What else do we have here? It looks like the hot
and spicy and my son left me a little bit. I can tell you the bag was a lot bigger than
that. We just put it in there. We've got the Garlic
Ginger. There is one tiny -- I mean worth that's not even a piece, I mean as you can
tell this stuff is great and I love that they put all the ingredients right there. We make
our own beef jerky at home, so I can tell you I can tell you that we're pretty careful
about what we go with. But, that was our informal way of testing it.
So, guys, if you're looking to get a gift or give a gift that no one is going to turn
away, you definitely want to grab this beef jerky box. I'm going to link to them down
the description, make sure to use that link to get the best deal.
So, over the last couple weeks, many of you guys have seen me wearing these suede jackets
these leather jackets, you've been asking, Antonio, where did you get those jackets from?
J.L. Rocha. So, I'm going to link them down in the description, I've been working with
them to develop out these jackets. So, Jose Luis gives me feedback, he sends me some drawings,
he tells me what he's going to do. I give him some feedback back.
Now, all of these jackets, the suede one especially are about to be released. They're going
to be available for this Christmas Season only and we're only making twenty of each
style. So, you've got to assume there's only going to be four or five jackets in the world
in your size made available and once they're done they're done. This is like something
we want you to have fun with, so I know a lot of you guys have been looking at that
green jacket which I've got right here. And, that black leather motorcycle jacket I had
in the video about how to be cool, this one right here.
Now, you can go over to the website and grab any of their jackets right now. Definitely
go check them out, I'm going to link to them right down in the description. Also, I will
have a discount code, so go use that. So, what do you guys think of this jacket?
This is the Gastown Jacket by Strongbody Apparel. Guys, I'm going to link to their Kickstarter
down the description. I sent out an e-mail awhile back, so hopefully this jacket is still
available when you're watching this video. If not, go check out Strongbody Aparallel,
it will probably be on their website. For years, probably three years I've been
a big supporter of Strongbody Apparel. Now, just now, they are starting to become a sponsor,
but for years I've talked about their shorts. Their shorts are some of the most amazing,
the most amazing athletic shorts I've ever owned. Let me tell you why. I've got a black
pair that I have washed probably two hundred times over the last three years and they still
look great, Now, these are the sweatpants. What I love
about these is that the drape the way that they fit in and around the hips. Similar to
the shorts, they have these huge elastic waistbands and what I like is it's big, it's wide,
and it's tall that better distributes the weight, so I don't feel any tight spots on
my midsection area. And, if you are in shape guy, that's who they make this clothing fort.
Like this jacket right here, this -- look at how this thing fits me. High armholes nice
fit. And this Gastown Jacket right now is a great deal even when they sell it probably
for full retail it's going to be a great deal. This is water-resistant, it is wind-proof,
incredibly lightweight easy to layer under, so far to go for a run this is the perfect
jacket. Next stop on my list, gentlemen, let's talk
about who makes the best underwear the best thermals the best loungewear in the world.
Guys, that's going to be Tani. I've talked about them before, a great company. They've
been a supporter of ours for now over two years and I have to say that they make the
best the most comfortable underwear I have ever worn, bar none.
Guys, I'm going to have a great discount code for you down in the description. But go you
owe it to yourself this Holiday Season to try the best. When you try on a pair like
this made from a micro modal material made from a Swiss cotton, I mean this stuff is
so smooth, you don't feel like you're wearing anything and it feels great. Or, when you're
wearing their thermals, you've got no hotspots, you stay warm, it's incredibly lightweight,
conforms to your body. Now, guys, again, I'm going to link to them
they've got a lot of other cool things like their loungewear which I don't see and
people talk about, you know, what do you wear and not a lot of guys wear that athletic wear.
Well, how about having some great loungewear, so you can bounce around the house look good
feel good and feel relaxed. Next stop on the list, Ministry. So, you guys
know I love Ministry, they've recently rebranded. They used to be known as Ministry Supply,
now they're known as Ministry. But, what I love about this company is the innovation
they bring to classic menswear. So, all their pieces look great, they feel great, their
items that fit into a classic wardrobe, but they take it to another step.
So, their sweaters I think are a great example. From the front of the sweater looks like a
normal gray V-neck, right? Okay, so the back of it though, it's got this -- it's got
this weave design and it's made to be much more breathable. Down the armpits, they've
got the same weave design so you're going to be able to better breathe here. Little
things like this make all the difference. And that's what they use actually cutting
edge fabrics they use the design everything is about innovation making you comfortable
while still looking great. Their shirts, their dress shirts, they actually
have little holes in the armpits, so that it's a little bit more breathable. A lot of
their stuff is no-iron as well and I have actually worn a number of their pieces in
various other videos, I haven't even iron them. Just basically took them right out of
the dryer, perfectly fine. They're also odor-resistance. So, when it comes down to
innovative fabrics if you get tired of, you know, the stuff that you're finding off-the-rack
you want something that is actually you almost feel like James Bond wearing it. Definitely
go check out Ministry. People are always asking me about the pocket
squares that I wear. Guys, I want you to go check out Rampley and Co. So, Rampley and
Co makes these beautiful pocket squares by taking art pieces and then having them right
here on look at that. It's pretty nice. And then, they've got these other ones. This
one is the eruption of Vesuvius. They take classic pieces and they are actually getting
a license for this, so beautiful pieces. I've got quite a few others which by the way
if you visit their website and you let me know which ones you would like, I've got a
few that I would love to send out. But, that's Rampley and Co. Guys, I'm going to link to
them down in the description. Now, when it comes to shoes there's a lot
of companies I talked about and you're going to see in the gift guide, you're going to
see Paul Evans. Of course I've got like fifteen pairs of their shoes. Ace Marks is going to
make it into my gift guide. You're also going to J.L. Rocha. But, one company that you may
not get much attention to, but I think you need to go check out is going to be Jay Butler.
So, Jay Butler a very interesting company, they make very casual shoes and I have to
say this is like one of my go-to casual shoes. But, what I love is they use this really innovative
fabrics, he's got like one like this in blue suede which is beautiful. And I just
find that they're great shoes the slip-on, they're not super pricey, so if you're looking
for something at a great price point, Jay Butler is a great company to check out.
I talk about a lot of watch companies. I know a lot of people say, okay, Antonio you talk
about all these companies, which one is best? Well, I purposely choose the companies that
I work with on the basis that they are very different from each other.
So, if you're looking to build a fashion watch collection, why not start with The Fifth.
If you're looking for a simple classic minimalist watch, they've also got this, so they've got
interchangeable bands. I think it's a great company start with. Don't forget, it's
the 5th of the month where you can grab these. I'm going to link to them down in the description.
But, if you want something a little bit different something that maybe brings in wood something
that also mixes that with the metal, then you want to look at Original Grain. A lot
of guys you need this they got a wide range of different ones here. And this is one of
their newer ones, this is the chronograph. I think it's a beautiful watch.
Now, if you want to own a watch with a lot more complications maybe a watch that is going
to look like it cost ten times what it actually costs, then you're going to want to look over
here at Vincero. This is a great company. I've talked about them before and I stand
behind them, I think that they make a great product for a great price. I go out and I
test the stuff that way I can make sure that I make solid recommendations. So, there is
-- you're not going to lose if you grab anything I'm talking about in this video.
So, next stop let's talk leather bags. You guys know I love a great leather bag. I think
that they're timeless I think they're going to stand up to the test of time. This is this
is something if you take care of it, you'll be able to pass it on to your kids.
And, this one right here is built off of a design of the grip about a hundred years ago
made by Colonel Littleton. This bag was not made a hundred years ago, this was just made
recently in Lynville, Tennessee. This is a showstopper. When you travel with this bag,
people will stop you and ask you about this bag and that's pretty cool.
And one of the reasons I love this company I love everything they built, I mean they're
-- this is also American buffalo that they used, so really unique bags and everything
that's put together there. But, if you're looking for something maybe
that's not as much of a showstopper but still made in the United States of great quality,
hey, go check out Blue Claw. You guys know I know the founder Adam. I've got a -- by
the way, I've got a great discount code for you down the description. It's made from a
much softer leather. This bag over here, I have to admit is pretty worn because we use
it a lot. It's actually a travel bag that we uses for our family.
Now, if you're looking for something a bit more polished something with the European
feel made in Italy, why don't you go check out Maxwell Scott, great company great bags.
I think they're a really good price. I'm going to link you down to that company down in the
description below. And the link I'm going to send to you has the best deal you're going
to find. And I just have to bring this up because my
friend over at -- over at Maxwell Scott, they sent me this bag as well. Does anyone know
what type of a bag this is? Let me give you a little bit of a hint. What would -- the
bottom of it opens up and you can put a stethoscope, so this is a doctor's bag. So, maybe you've
got a son maybe you've got a friend, he's a physician or she's a physician and this
will probably be a great gift. It's going to be, you know, this is not
a cheap bag. But, what I will say is the best gifts are the useful gifts, the gifts that
you use again and again, stand up to the test of time. I'm I'm a big fan of giving somebody
something maybe they wouldn't necessarily by themselves, but when they get it they're
going to love it and they are going to use the heck out of it.
They're going to every time I've got -- I've got a bag that I use and Brett McKay of the
Art of Manliness gave me that bag probably I don't know six years ago. And I was just
blown away when he sent it to me. I know it cost him a pretty penny, but there isn't
a time when I -- and I still use that bag to this day. It's actually made by Saddleback
Leather Company. And every time I use that bag I think of Brett,
I think of Kate, I think of his family and I kind of go through the motions of remembering
my friendship and my relationship. And that's the cool thing about a great gift is well-thought
out, is of good quality, and actually the person receiving it is able going to be, you
know, when they use it again and again. So, gentlemen, that's it. Again, if you want
the full list, I've got it for you right here, 101 items and make sure to follow those
links because I give you some of the best deals. Not all of them you're going to have
to enter a discount code, sometimes the links I've got in the article and down in the description
are going to link you to special pages where they've got a deal specifically for those
of you that are big supporters of RMRS. And don't forget, gentlemen, down in the
comments below, make sure if you saw an item in this video that you really like, go to
the website give me the specifics on the item put it in the description. And if I've got
some extras here in the next couple weeks, we'll be going through shifting through those
comments identifying people and choosing some winners because as much as I love all this
gear, a lot of it goes unused and I would rather send it to you.
So, that's it guys. Take care. I'll see you in the next video.
