Rose

A sweet reminder that hope blossoms in all generations. “ROSE” proudly wears her ping ribbon emblem to show that, when it comes to hope, even a very little girl can make a big difference. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this bright-eyed beauty will be donated to breast cancer research, which can benefit so many lives in all generations.

“ROSE” is fully jointed, crafted in vinyl, and has precious, hand-painted features…right down to the touches of rosy color on her cheeks. She’s dressed in sweet frills and rosettes, and affordable priced. To bring hope tomorrow.

“Rose” is approx. 6 ¾ inches (17.2 cm) high, seated, and is jointed to be poseable. She’s hand-numbered and comes with a matching-numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

Battistoni

Battistoni Battistoni rolls the interfacing of its collar over (tubelike) to raise their edges and give them both actual and visual weight. Small notches of fabric sewn to the bottoms of side seams give strength in an area prone to tearing. In terms of shape, these is nothing excessive about a Battistoni design.

Hilditch & Key

Hilditch & Key Despite the company’s assertion that it cuts “quite a generous shirt”, the shirts at Hilditch & Key are actually quite narrow and tapered in comparison to those of other old guard Jermyn Street shops. They also are an inch longer in the back and come with an extra pair of stays. All H&K shirts are hand-pressed before leaving atelier.

Tincati To keep shirttails where they belong—inside pants—Tincati sews in a tab that passes between the legs and buttons onto the shirt front. Every shirt comes with an extra collar and cuffs for when the originals wear out; they should be laundered every time the shirt is, so that the fabric continues to match. Two deep tucks down the center of the back make for an especially smooth fit.

Charvet

Charvet In addition to being the collar king, Charvet also rules in fabrics—it offers some 600 in size 15 ½ alone. Shirttails are square, the better to keep them inside your pants, and the left cuff has a marginally larger diameter than the right, to accommodate a watch. Charvet shirts are also ever-so-slightly waisted. The company is very generous with the silk passementerie knots it invented at the beginning of the century as a fastening for French cuffs.

Aloha

Give you loved ones the natural beauty of Hawai’I this season!

You don’t have to live in Hawai’i to give your friends and family the beauty of the Islands. In anticipation of the holiday season, we asked spa expert Sherrie Strausfogel to test mountains of made in Hawai’i beauty products.

They’re easy to order and ship and are certain to spread joy and goodwill to men—and women—this holiday season.


The Soap Box


Husband-and-wife duo Steve Cromwell and Jo Ann Takushi started making soap in their ‘Aiea home on O’ahu. As demand grew, they moved to a warehouse in Waipahu, where they remain today. But they still make each soap by hand. The translucent glycerin soaps, which come in a rainbow of vivid colors and luscious scents, have a slice of loofah embedded inside for easy scrubbing of feet, elbows and knees. Cole-processed soap bars contain macadamia nut oil, shea butter, or cocoa butter to moisturized skin an are available in 13 exotic fragrance, including seaweed. The slipper soaps, which sit on a loofah pad, make a delightful stocking stuffer. You can visit: soapboxhawaii.com (808) 284-6170. - Sherrie Strausfogel

Light Up the Darkness


These magical, whimsical creations are the result of a unique collaboration between fashion designers (such as Agnes B., Christian Lacroix, Sonia Rykiel, and Vivienne Westwood) and women in South Africa and Burkina Faso whose lives have been devastated by the HIV/AIDS epidemic . French designer Cyrille Varet dreamed up the enterprise and called it Ithemba, meaning “hope.” He recruited others in the fashion industry to send ideas for decorating light bulbs to the African women, who then painstakingly re-create the designs, using beads, feathers, plastic heats, metal stars, and tiny coils of wire. Varet distributes the bulbs around the world, and the money goes where it’[s so badly needed. – Paul De Marchin, Hudson, New York (518-828-3918); or Pylones, New York City, 212-317-9822… visit: ithembafrica.com
