We’re calling it. Shopping season’s halftime. Which means it’s time to sit back, relax and... get yourself something nice. Don’t worry: we’ve taken care of putting together a list. (Let’s draw the line at writing yourself a card.)
2012’s going to require something very important: shirts. Your play: heading to Pockets for a shirt from Hamilton. After you’re good and measured up, they’ll make your button-down in Houston and ship it to your doorstep. It’s like Santa but with a tracking number.
For the first time, you can grill with Lockhart’s pitmaster. You’ll learn everything from smoking techniques to the difference between dry rub and wet rub (spoiler: it concerns powder), and then sit down with the guy for beer and ribs. Knowledge can be very tasty.
It’s a simple rule—if it’s strong enough for a horse, it can probably handle airport security. Case in point: this handsome bag, made from the same leather used in saddles. Riding chaps not included.
So. You’re familiar with that medieval castle in the middle of Texas—the one with skeet shooting and scotch. It’s time you paid a visit. You’ll drive out to Greystone Castle, where you’ll fish for bass and toast some scotch to your kingdom. You owe this to yourself.
There’s nothing wrong with instant gratification. (Seriously: nothing.) But we know how busy you are, so we’re thinking you treat yourself to an evening on the biggest handmade wooden sailboat in Texas, sometime during sailing season. And hey, you can unwrap the email confirmation now.
