Holiday shopping can be tricky, especially with 2012 being such a phenomenal year of new releases. Ranging from a handmade football to our very own
lambswool scarves, we took a moment to select a few of the items that we are hoping to find underneath the tree this year. In addition to a few new items, you may notice some of these picks from previous editions of
Ledbury Style Files. Although the countdown to the holidays has already begun, it is not too late to rewrite your wish list or... skip the suspense all together and buy some of these for yourself.
The Light Blue Mckinsey Oxford
A classic blue gingham check on a Tessitura Monti cotton oxford cloth topped with a button down collar. This casual shirt is part of our first collection of December Short Run Shirting, so make sure you get this one before it’s gone!
AIAIAI Capital Headphones
From Danish audio design company AIAIAI, these are amongst the sleekest headphones we could find. The collapsible headphones are made out of reinforced fiberglass making them durable and lightweight.
Leather Head Handmade Football
Designed to fit in the hands of a football layman, heavy-duty Leather Head footballs are constructed out of American-tanned leather and incorporate rawhide lacing. The folks behind Leather Head consider their footballs an artisanal product but they don’t intend for you to treat them delicately.

Neckties have ranked among the best Christmas/Father’s Day/Birthday presents ever since they were first constructed centuries ago. The Red Hammond Tie is perfect for the holidays, whether it is inside a gift box or worn as a compliment to your holiday outfit.
Moore & Giles Evans Tie Case
The Moore and Giles Evans Tie Case is the ideal gift for any traveler. This tie case features the company’s signature jacquard and Titan Milled Brown leather with two elasticized leather straps on either side for keeping your ties crisp during traveling.
Horn Straight Razor from The Art of Shaving
Handcrafted by Thiers-Issard, a prestigious French razor maker that has been in the game since 1884. To assist in the prevention of adding band-aids to your mug, The Art of Shaving includes a complimentary razor usage and maintenance guide with every order.
The Jackson Denim Pocket Square
Great for stuffing stockings as well as suit and blazer pockets. We used some of our favorite shirting fabrics from our favorite mills to produce our pocket square collection, such as this Italian woven chambray from Cotonificio Albini.
Damascus Edisto Oyster Knife from Williams Knife Co.
The perfected design of the original Edisto knife gained Williams Knife Co. nationwide accolades from
Garden & Gun Magazine's Made in the South Awards for its craftsmanship and functionality. Our friends at Williams Knife Co. have updated their signature knife with a blade constructed from high end Damascus steel that is guaranteed to have you shucking like a pro.

Corter Leather and Cloth Bottlehook Keychain
Very simple in design, the Corter Bottlehook is a dual-purpose key-chain and bottle opener that slips onto belt loops with ease. The hooks were cast in California from plated steel and the finish of the Red Powdercoat will chip over time to create a custom aged look that is unique to each user.
El Casco Desk Stapler
With the intricate workmanship involved in making a six-shooter, it is no surprise that this chrome-plated stapler was made by a company that started out in the revolver business. When the demand for six-shooters plummeted during the Great Depression, the owners of the firm applied their riveting skills into the production of staplers that shoot out staples as well as their guns.
