The Holidays are upon us! There is a chill in the air and a peppermint mocha in my hand. Like most people my Holidays are filled with travel, shopping & spiked eggnog!

Recently, while enjoying said eggnog with a dear friend we starting talking about various things like what gifts we had bought and where we were traveling for the holidays and most importantly, if there was any eggnog left. We soon realized that we were both chalking up some major air miles this year and with all of this traveling we had planned between the two of us, we decided it would be nice to treat ourselves to some new "travel companions"! Now we all know that this season is all about giving to others, but you know what, every once in a while it's nice to treat yourself to a little something. And in my hunt for new sleek travel bags I came across this fun collection from Ben Sherman at Universal Gear. Not only did I find something for Moi, but I also picked up a couple of gifts as well. And as they say, I got 2 birds with 1 credit card! (ok, no one really says that...but they should!)

the Hold All

This sleek duffel upgrade is amazing! The perfect carry-on for your travels and is specious enough for all of your essentials for a weekend getaway.
Black PU strapping. W20" x H13" x D8". Imported.

the Commuter Bag


Great for the modern business man, its canvas body changes the look from stuffy to cool and casual. Optional shoulder strap gives the chance to take this from briefcase to messenger bag in an instant.
Canvas body, PU trimming. W16.5" x H12.75" x D3.5". Imported.

iPad Case

This is a great gift for your gadget man. Sleek iPad sleeve with pieced Union Jack detail and this must have comes in Black or Brown.
W11 x H 8.5" x D.75". Imported.

Be an Outsider
I've heard the old saying that the "Clothes make the Man" but personally I believe that the clothes don't so much make the man but reflect upon the mans spirit. What we wear can speak volumes about who we are, what we do and even betray some of our quirkiest traits. With this being said, I would like to show you a few pieces from Universal Gear's winter outerwear collection that I think are special and a must have for this season.

Versatile
The name says it all, versatility is key when going from day to night (from the office to a holiday party) and when traveling lite for the holidays. The Ben Sherman Melton trench is perfect for a versatile jacket to take you from shopping for last minute gifts to arriving at your best friends annual X-Mas cocktail party. Casual but not overly dressy.

Classic
Who doesn't love James Dean (or his 90's reincarnation Luke Perry) J.D. has a simple yet classic look. It was understated but made him the sex symbol he is today. And what was his trade mark accessory? The Leather Jacket. Projek Raw came out with a beautifully sinful Ribbed Moto Jacket this year, this piece is detailed and has a wonderful fit. They call it a classic for a reason.

Forward
For those who want a statement piece, a jacket that says "I'm Here!" look no further than the Antony Morato Peacoat Trench. The Rich Navy color will stand out from all the blacks & greys in the room. This piece has an exquisite fit and fine detail work. This is one of those pieces where people stop you on the street to simply say "Nice coat, where did you get it." - Be bold, make a statement!
