    These are some great pieces for stylish guys. I think it’s a toss up between the shawl-collar cardigan and the persol sunnies for my man.

    I really like that vintage Levi’s cardigan! That photo print is pretty cool, too. I think the feather backgammon game is my favorite though. Do people still actually play that?
