No Sizes, No Stress, No Returns
If you’ve ever been either on the giving or receiving end of a gift that doesn’t fit, you probably aren’t keen to repeat the experience. Delight and gratitude quickly turn to embarrassment for both the giver and receiver. We’re here to help.

Rebel Outfit Special Issue
A nice stocking stuffer for the true-blue enthusiast who wants to know more about some of the iconic items in their wardrobes, including how to style them, this special issue of the Heritage Post is an equally essential follow-up to our book, The Rebel’s Wardrobe.
English versions of the magazine are available here.
Levi’s Vintage Jackets Book
Take a tour through the long and rich history of American-made workwear with this essential guide to vintage denim jackets. If you don’t have pockets deep enough to get into the collecting game, this book is the next best thing.
Redcast Heritage has copies of the book for sale.
Permanent Style – The Casual Style Guide
Author Simon Crompton is a master of elevated casual style that blends rugged and classic pieces. Even if you only look at the pictures, it’s impossible to pick up this book without taking something of value away from it.
Get this stylish companion at Arterton UK.
Avant Magazine
Each issue is filled with articles covering iconic makers and styles from the long and legendary history of workwear. A single issue is always lonely on the shelf, so it’s our advice to just grab the complete set. Utterly indispensable reference material on every page.
Heimat Signal Red Mechanics Hat
This is the hat Santa would wear if he was searching for a practical and stylish upgrade. Made from virgin wool in Germany, it’s got a healthy dose of red-cheeked holiday cheer, but it will still be fit for purpose long after the tree’s on the curb.
Kapital Fastcolor Selvedge Bandana
Kapital has a well-earned reputation for producing some of the selvedge world’s wildest (and most extravagantly priced) pieces. Their bandanas, though, are very reasonably priced and relatively conservative. Soft and stylish, they make an excellent addition to rugged kits.
Mikia Bandana Bracelet
We prefer well-worn things to brand new ones, and this bandana bracelet is crying out for daily use and abuse. With an aluminium core, it’ll go the distance, but the bandana will fade and fray brilliantly. A signature piece in the making.
Beechwood Valet Stand
We’re all for using and abusing our clothes, but it somehow doesn’t seem right to just leave our daily pieces in a heap on the floor. This valet stand is the elegant solution.
Billykirk Toiletries Bag
One of those items that, if purchased wisely, might only ever have to be purchased once, a good toiletries bag will liven up your luggage and help keep all your creams, balms, and gels in one (beautiful) place.
Outdoorsman Belt Axe
For those who take everyday carry to the absolute extremes, this hatchet might be the piece they’ve been missing. Definitely not for urban use, this gift will be perfect for the man who spends more time outdoors than in.
They also have an excellent full-size axe that’ll add some rugged beauty to your woodshed.
Chisos Redwood Boot Jack
If you wear slip-on boots, a nice boot jack can live next to the door and help you get out of your boots quickly and easily. If you use the toe of one boot to hold the heel in place while you slide your foot out, the leather-wrapped jack will be much gentler on the heels of your boots.
First Arrow’s Silver Bar Chain
An always-interesting fusion of Japanese craftsmanship and Native American influence, First Arrow’s infuse each of their pieces with a touch of the American Southeast. Start with this beautiful chain and add a pendant that catches your eye.
Good Art Saint Christopher Medalion
If you want a through-the-roof reaction, you don’t even need to wait for them to open the box if it’s got that Good Art logo on it. Fill the box with this Saint Christopher medallion and you’ll be able to coast on the brownie points until next Christmas. Double points if you give them a matching chain.
Iron Shop Provisions has a great selection of Good Art Hollywood pieces.
Obbi Good Wallet Chain
If you’ve got a wallet with a loop on it, but you still haven’t fed a chain through that loop, it’s time to remedy that with a wallet chain. Our favourite is this solid brass one from Obbi Good.
3sixteen Enamel Jeans Pin
A gorgeous stocking stuffer courtesy of New York’s 3sixteen. Wearing great jeans every day is the best way to showcase our love of great denim, but second best is this enamel pin. Will look great on a denim jacket.
Snag this beautiful pin from the good people at Redcast Heritage.
Lewis Leathers Metal Badges
To add a touch of rugged and personal character to your denim or leather jackets, you can’t do much better than these metal badges from the legendary Lewis Leathers—the UK’s oldest leather motorcycle clothing manufacturer. Tons of pins to pick from!
You’ll find a great selection of these badges at Corlection.
His and Hers Daruma Chopsticks
A simple but elegant addition to your cutlery drawer, this set of beautifully crafted chopsticks put paper-sleeve chopsticks to shame. The wooden box is just as beautiful as the chopsticks. It’s almost a shame to put them back in the drawer.
Real McCoy’s Mug Set of Three
For those who like to sip in style, this set of three mugs from The Real McCoy’s, each of them handcrafted in Japan, will make the perfect gift. They’re available separately, but it’s a shame to split up a set this good.
Sertodo Copper Flask
With a flask this beautiful, you’ll be looking for excuses to bring a nip of the hard stuff with you wherever you go. If you’ve got a strong preference for top-shelf booze, you should have a flask every bit as dignified as your tipple.
The flask, complete with copper filler, can be found at Manready Mercantile.
Denim Apron
Virginia’s Shockoe Atelier take pains to produce all of their goods ethically and sustainably, and this denim apron is no exception. If you’ve got somebody on your list who loves denim and cooking in equal measure, look no further.
Get the denim apron straight from Shockoe Atelier.
Minimal Sizing Required
We’re finishing off with a few other complementary pieces that will require some sizing to get just right. For most of these, a good guess will be good enough.
Pigeon Tree Veg Tan Belt
A sure-fire winner for selvedge lovers. Even if they already have one that they’ve patinated to perfection, that’s just one more reason to start a new one. This Herman Oak Vegtan will make an excellent patina project.
Start your next patina project at Pigeon Tree.
Obbi Good Hammered Silver Bracelet
Obbi Good have a knack for rugged accessories. From wallets and bags to jewellery and belts, they’re the label of choice for heritage enthusiasts around the world looking for that perfect finishing touch, with hammered silver bracelet being a brilliant example.
Cramp Double Leather Cuff
Made from extremely thick Japanese saddle leather, 925 silver, and a ruby in the cat’s eye for that touch of bling, this bracelet is perfect for the man who wants to make a lasting impression.
Division Road Shoe Tree
Chances are, you’ve got more shoes than you have shoe trees. Unless you religiously purchase trees every time you get a new pair, you’re probably due for a set or two of these beautiful aromatic red cedar shoe trees.
Indigo Ombre Dog Collar
If you love the blending of indigo and cotton as much as we do, you want every part of your life to be touched by that unmistakable shade of blue. Let you furry friend join in the fun with this gorgeous indigo-dyed rope collar, available in three sizes.
Add something under the tree for your fur buddy at Manready Mercantile.
