Been a month. A lot of work travel. Kansas City, Ohio, Louisville, Chicago, Birmingham, Colorado. Back home now, which feels like a deep exhale. A beat of calm before the holiday storm. And in these moments, I must admit, my things bring me peace. My own apartment with my own stuff. Maybe I’m materialistic that way. Or maybe, when you buy the right things and ignore the wrong ones, they can provide emotional warmth in your life. Not just functional benefit.

CB2 Babylon 30" Round Green Marble Bistro Table
I need a table. My wife and I moved a couple years ago, and we just got around to some built-in shelves. Now that corner needs a little bistro table. Am I crazy for loving this green marble?

Imogene + Willie Hencye Workpant in Black Indigo
Dark denim. Every guy should own a quality pair. Especially this time of year. So I'm embarrassed to admit, I don't. That's why these are on the way.

Wills YakWool Cardigan Sweater
They're calling it "The Fiber of Gods." Who's they? Wills, one of my favorite in-house brands at Huckberry. What's a Fiber of Gods? This buttery soft cardi blends the primal resilience of yak, the silky softness of alpaca, and the breathable structure of RWS-certified extrafine merino. It's like nothing you've ever felt.

Wills Stretch Wool Blazer
While I'm on the topic of Wills, this is why I love the brand. They've mastered the modern era of "smart casual." There's nothing trendy about this jacket (which also comes in a trouser if you want the full suit). It's just smart, but slightly less intimidating than a traditional suit.

Reiss Royal Ballet Peak-Lapel Blazer in Black
You can't go wrong with a black suit. The key is finding a fit/cut that's timeless, yet doesn't feel like every other black suit you've ever seen. Reiss nailed it in their latest collection, The Royal Ballet.

reMarkable Paper Pro Move
Full disclosure, I don't have a reMarkable. But everyone who has one tells me I should. I've played around on others'. It really is remarkable. The feel of pencil/paper. The convenience of tech. They just released this travel size version, and it's the one for me.

Hyperice Hypervolt 2 Pro
I know. I'm late to the party. Everyone loves their massage guns, and I'm just beginning to see why. The Hyperice version is sleek, portable, powerful, and oh it hurts so gooood.

Pangaia Recycled Cashmere Hoodie
I wrote about Pangaia earlier this month when they had a crazy sale. And now? They just dropped a recycled cashmere line. I basically live in their hoodie when I'm home on a cozy day. Can't imagine what their cashmere's gonna do for me.

Lisa Yang Chelsea Cashmere Scarf
This is a women's scarf. So what? I share pieces like this with my wife all the time. Don't let labels tell you how to live your life. If it looks good and feels good, it looks good and feels good.
Buy: $205
Gabriela Hearst Pyke Cashmere Scarf
Fine. You want the men's version. Here. At time of writing, there are only two left. So hop to it.

On Cloudmonster
The Chicago marathon happened recently. NYC is this weekend. While I didn't run in either, I'm taking a comfort hack from them. I've seen these everywhere, talked to runners who praise them, and now I'm getting in on it. I prefer long walks. And these are like walking on clouds.

Loro Piana Bale Extra-Large Full-Grain Leather Tote Bag
Yup. It's more than $4,000. But this is the Black Book, babies. We're allowed to dream a little.
