For a father, a brother, a partner or a friend, a gift that suits him.
The Birkenstock Boston clog, made of suede leather on a cork sole, is worn like a slipper at home and with socks in the city; its sole shapes to the foot over the weeks. For the man who walks in all weather, the Blundstone Classic Chelsea boots, heirs of a brand founded in 1870 in Hobart, Tasmania, slip on easily thanks to their elastic sides. For sneakers, the Asics GEL-NYC combines the design of 2000s running shoes with an urban silhouette, while the Nike Air Monarch, very cushioned, provides appreciated walking comfort. The Crocs Classic clog, lightweight and washable, is perfect for the garden or the beach.
The selection is organised by type and budget:
Accessories almost completely avoid the size question and are useful every day. The Eastpak Padded Pak'r backpack, with padded back and straps, is the brand's classic style, while the Day Pak'r adds a laptop compartment. Eastpak, born in Boston in 1952 making bags for the US military, guarantees its bags for thirty years. The fitted cap New Era in the colours of the New York Yankees is based on the model worn on the field by professional baseball players since 1954; it is chosen according to the exact head size without adjustment. The Kangol beret in seamless wool adds a more classic touch to winter outfits.
The Christmas selection also includes on a small budget, on a medium budget, on a larger budget, for women, for children, by sport, in the top gifts, and the selection delivered in time for Christmas reassures those who order late. Find all the ideas on the Christmas page.

Brush after each muddy outing, then use a nourishing cream or wax a few times a year, applied to clean, dry leather. Let them dry away from a radiator to avoid cracking the leather.
Measure the head circumference above the ears, where the cap rests, then refer to the manufacturer's size chart. It should fit without squeezing the forehead; if between sizes, choose the larger one.
