Todd SnyderTodd Snyder Italian Suede Dylan Jacket in Desert Sage
Todd Snyder has remarked on multiple occasions that the Dylan Jacket has been one of his brand’s best-selling items since its 2011 debut. It has been offered in multiple fabrics and well over a dozen colors, but the limited-edition Desert Sage in Italian Suede — the jacket’s original form — is one of the most intriguing. The distinct washed-out green accentuates the rich texture of the supple Tuscan suede, produced by the renowned Pellemoda tannery and leatherworks.
BlancpainBlancpain Villeret Calendrier Chinois Traditionnel Year of the Fire Horse
Blancpain updates its innovative Villeret Calendrier Chinois Traditionnel, which debuted in 2012 as the first mechanical watch to incorporate a Chinese calendar complication, with a special edition for the year of the Fire Horse. Limited to 50 pieces, this commemorative version features a platinum case, a salmon-colored Grand Feu enamel dial and a galloping horse motif on the 22K white gold rotor.
AnkerAnker Nano 45W with Smart Display
Anker has added a tiny power adapter to its Nano series, only this one is quite the outlier. That’s because the Anker Nano 45W has a built-in display for showing charging metrics. It’s also the world’s first adapter to recognize the type of iPhone (or iPad) it’s charging and adjust charging speeds accordingly. Additionally, the adapter’s other standout feature is its adjustable foldable prongs — it can lock in at 90-degree and 180-degree angles, giving you more flexibility to plug it into wall outlets, desk plugs and other tight spaces.

Acqua di ParmaAcqua di Parma Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato
Made to commemorate the brand’s 110th birthday, Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato is a new take on Acqua di Parma’s iconic fragrance, uplifted with Madagascan Ylang-Ylang for a slightly spicy riff on the original. Each bottle comes packaged in the signature yellow hatbox, detailed with a gold anniversary stamp.
Priority BicyclesPriority Apollo Flat Bar
A small change can make a big difference, as evidenced by this fan-favorite gravel bike swapping out a drop bar for a flat bar. Whereas the former puts the rider in a sportier road bike position, the latter enables a comfortable upright posture that’s more natural and nimble for everyday riding or commuting on city streets, which gravel bikes do surprisingly well. Of course, the Apollo retains its most beloved features, including a lightweight aluminum frame and full carbon fork, a Gates CDX belt drive-powered Shimano Alfine 11 internally geared hub, beefy gravel-ready tires, hydraulic disc brakes and ample mounting points that welcome racks, fenders and bags for extended adventures. Note: Use code APOLLO200 at checkout for a $200 discount (expires January 25).
