Pick out a gift is a difficult task. Picking out a gift for someone who taps their own maple syrup, or is intimately familiar with the Mass Pike, or has an “I conquered Mt. Washington” sticker on their Subaru? Downright perilous. New Englanders are a fickle breed, married to decades-old allegiances with ye olde whatever, insanely particular about seeming insignificant minutia — the most efficient way to identify Mass-hole is to ask for their feelings about Polar Seltzer — and unafraid to tell you that your paltry present sucks.

InsideHook editor Alex Lauer said it best; “Orvis did not name this the Perfect Flannel Shirt lightly.” Exceptional in every way, available in a ton of festive colors and clocking it at under $100, this is objectively one of the best gifts you can give — dare we even say perfect?
Review: There Are Tons of Flannel Shirts. What Makes This One “Perfect”?
My six-week test of the Perfect Flannel Shirt from Orvis proved how big a difference a bunch of small details can make
While you’re presumably aware of the iconic heritage style that is the waxed Barbour jacket, you may not know that Orvis is actually one of the largest retailers of outerwear in the United States. Even better, they’ve teamed up with the UK-based brand for an exclusive quilted jacket that will serve as both a coveted collector’s item and a serious coat for the cold season ahead. Score!
This goat suede passport wallet from Orvis is one of the handsomer passport wallets out there. It’s got one passport pocket, one cash pocket, two credit card slots and a fine silky nap, which gives it a worn in look that feels nice in your hand.
Everyone wants a barn coat this season.

The workwear staple is red hot this season
This made-in-USA genuine leather dog collar from Orvis comes complete with baller brass shotgun shell detailing and the opportunity to customize with up to 26 characters, making it the perfect gift for man’s best friend (and man).
Similarly, this warm jacquard sweater makes an excellent present for the pointer-fond people in your life.
Along with socks and underwear, pajamas typically round out the unholy trio of uninspired gifts for hard-to-shop-for guys, but not these checked bottoms. Made from the same material as the brand’s cult-perfect flannel shirts, these bottoms are a cut above the competition in virtually every way.
When all else fails, a hearty, neutral crewneck should save the day.
