This piece is definitely a wardrobe essential. Alex Mill's Frontier Shirt is an unpretentious version of an all-American classic. The brand made their chamois the old fashioned way, with a brushed flannel that's been given a special garment-wash to give it a worn-in, ultra-luxe feel. It's available in three rich shades, but the “thyme” green is the one to beat.

Make sure your feet are toasty all winter long. There's still plenty of cold to endure (unfortunately) but these new house shoes from the experts at Greys have become our new favorite. The elevated materials (think leather, hearty rubber and cozy Sherpa fleece) not only feel great, but ensure the slippers will last you a lifetime. The sleek boot shape is handsome enough to keep your neighbors from raising any eyebrows, while a handy stub-proof toe box keeps you from shouting expletives after knocking into things first thing in the morning or walking in the dark.

The more time we spend inside, the more we need to find things to keep us entertained. If you haven't been playing with playing cards, now's the time to pick up a quality deck—like this handsome set from Shinola. Made by Kentucky-based United States Playing Card Company, every card features a unique delight, from words of wit to striking original graphics on the face cards, illustrated in-house by one of Shinola's designers.

Pull this on and you may never want to pull it off. Consider that a warning. Everlane makes a cozy fleece that's made from 100% recycled polyester, with a contrast twill lapel and trim, oversized snap buttons, and a generous kangaroo pocket to keep your hands warm. Everything about it is easy and somehow it looks both retro and modern. Plus, it comes in three colors.

This is an espresso machine for novices and aficionados alike. Breville's Bambino Plus is engineered to deliver optimal espresso flavor with every cup. It pre-infuses ground coffee with low, steady water pressure before extraction, gently expanding the grinds before stepping up to high pressure. It's easy to program, doesn't take up too much counter space and comes with everything you need to make a damn fine cup of coffee.
