No matter their interest in fashion, Texas men want to look and feel good. It all comes down to quality, from a teak-handled razor to a dopp kit that will last for years, thanks to American bison or Italian leather. Go big with a sling arm chair built with strong canvas or go small with a floral pocket square made from Hamilton shirt scraps.
