This isn't your average flannel shirt. It's actually not a flannel shirt at all. It's something much, much better. Cut from a 6.5 oz custom designed twill, the thick cotton fabric is textured with an extremely soft hand-feel. Each one is produced in Madras, India, in a workshop that the brand says has “dedicated three decades to high quality fabrics, crafted in working conditions of the utmost dignity.” Melding the new (Japanese sewing machines) with the old (hand embroidery, hand loomed fabrics, natural dying) results in a cool, contemporary shirt with a timeless appeal.

It's not news that vinyl is still surging for audiophiles. And maybe you heard that even tapes and CDs are coming back for those who embrace the ritual of listening to music. So it makes sense that Victrola's newest turntables aim to provide multiple ways to jam out. The Century has everything you need to play vinyl in one box: speakers, amplifier, preamp and turntable. But it's also got a tape deck (remember those!?) and a CD player. Of course, you can also stream music from your phone or connect the turntable to your wireless speakers, too. All of this, for an incredibly reasonable price and in a very stylish package, too.

Abercrombie has established itself as a trusted brand for quality T-shirts. Their heavyweight crewneck tee is one of the line's best-sellers and always gets lots of clicks when featured on Valet. Now, they've got a new long-sleeve version, available in five neutral shades. The fabric is enzyme-washed for extra softness and the fit is relaxed and slightly boxy—just how you want your shirt to fit in the fall of 2024.

Maybe you don't have much of a need for a pocket knife. But having a sturdy blade on hand can certainly come in handy—especially for opening the deluge of packages that come with modern living these days. The James Brand quickly won over EDC enthusiasts of all stripes with their sleek knives and multi-tools. This update on the standard utility knife carries on that tradition as an elevated upgrade to the everyday box-cutter. The brand's ingenious mechanism allows for a silky smooth operation and tool-free blade changes—plus it accepts any standard utility knife blade.
