The proprietor of Quinntessential Gentleman shares his favorite things.
By Craig Martin | May 2014
BARBOUR JACKET. It is so versatile. I can wear it in three seasons. My jacket is over 10 years old.
RAZORS AND SHAVING ACCESSORIES. I have a few razors: straight razors, safety, and, of course, a few brushes as well. The craftsmanship is like art.
TERVIS TUMBLER MUG. Coffee in the morning, water during the day, cocktail at night.
ALLEN EDMONDS SHOES. Bought my first pair 12 years ago and still have them. I am up to 10 pairs now.
BLANTON’S BOURBON. I think it is the best-tasting bourbon for the money. It doesn’t hurt that the design of the bottle makes it look like a collectible.
COLORFUL SOCKS. I love color—the brighter and more stripes the better.
NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL. My father gave me the affliction. We used to watch the games every Saturday, as I still do. It’s not uncommon for Irish Catholics.
CUSTOM CLOTHING. Once you get used to custom, it is difficult to buy off the rack.
ZEKE’S COFFEE. Have it at home and in the office.
CIGARS. There is nothing more relaxing than quietly enjoying a well-rounded cigar and a cocktail (usually bourbon).
