GQ Selects: December

The North Face Denali Triclimate 3-in-1 Jacket
There's no reason performance outerwear can't also look great. The fire engine red shell gives this North Face jacket eye-catching style, especially when paired with the graphic black chest and elbow patches—the sleekness of a sports car, with the toughness of a Mack truck.

A.P.C. New Cure Straight-Leg Jeans
This is the slimmest jean in Jean Touitou's arsenal of prime raw-denim cuts. The New Cure tapers closely from the knee to the ankle, resulting in a silhouette that works as well with a casual Friday sports jacket as it does a in your weekend wardrobe. And these will mold to the wearer over time, making each pair truly unique.

Gant Rugger Tartan Plaid Blazer
As Frank Ocean proves in our December issue, a sport coat is essential to every guy's wardrobe, young or old. This one from Gant Rugger reimagines the stodgy tartan plaid with a tailored blazer that looks stellar over a hoodie (as shown on Ocean), or just about any combo in your closet that isn't a shirt and tie.

Band of Outsiders Classic Chinos
Scott Sternberg's genius is to take familiar items of American sportswear and reissue them fresh ways. These chinos are a nod to the garment's military and prep ancestry, while offering a distinctly modern cut.

Ray-Ban Pilot Icon Folding Aviator Sunglasses
Ray-Ban has put a new spin on their iconic aviator, thanks to hinges that allow the shades to fold up into the size of a single lens. However, this pair still holds true to the hallmarks of the classic we love, like brown gradient lenses and leather accents on the brow and temple. It's a reinvented classic that continues to conjure up images of McQueen and Newman in their heydays.

AG Jeans Matchbox Slim Straight Leg Jeans
Every man should own a pair of black jeans. They're an indispensible addition to a guy's closet, dressier than basic blue. These AGs are the perfect cut for such a pair, skimming the leg for a look that's equal parts rock 'n' roll and refined.

Fred Perry Track Jacket
We love the spirit of the retro running gear that has inspired designers like Prada and Bottega Veneta for spring 2013, and for guys like Steve Prefontaine, a track jacket was elementary to that look. We shot this classic one from Fred Perry on Adam Driver for our December issue: The fit and the sporty red color make it a standout, even if the only running you do is errands.

Levi's 511 Skinny Jeans
We've been advocating white jeans in winter for some time now, and one of our favorites are these from Levi's. Cut in their slim 511 silhouette, the crisp colorless denim adds some lift to darker winter standbys like a navy peacoat or tweed sport jacket, and looks great when stacked over a pair of broken-in desert boots.

PUMA Bayndyt Sneaker
This sneaker takes its design cues from a '70s running shoe, but is thoroughly modern, thanks to the tonal fabrication combining matte nylon and suede. We suggest going sockless when wearing these runners, allowing the contours of its slick silhouette to stand out.

Dolce & Gabbana Suit
To put it simply, Dolce & Gabbana has mastered the modern black suit. From the duo's focus on a body-hugging fit with shorter jacket and trim pant legs, to the perfect lapel width to pair with a skinny tie, this is a two-piece any man can feel confident investing in.

John Varvatos Extra-Trim Striped Shirt
Any guy looking to add some pattern into his weekday wardrobe in a conservative office should reach for a striped dress shirt. The vertical lines add subtle visual interest to any outfit, while the semi-spread collar works for every occasion, be it with a tie to close a big deal, or going open-collar to grab a celebratory drink afterwards.

Salvatore Ferragamo Faraone Cap-Toe Oxford
When you buy a pair of Ferragamo shoes, you're not only getting the finest Italian craftsmanship that will last a lifetime, but also getting great design. In the brand's deft hands, a standard cap-aatoe silhouette has its vamp elongated and toe tapered ever so slightly, slight tweaks that create a more elegant option for the office or a night out.

The GQ Gift Guide 2012: For the Ballers

Do your friends have a thing for tax shelters? Does your name begin with "Crown Prince"? Then these gifts are for you and yours

Joey Roth Ceramic Speakers + Subwoofer
These speakers aren't just minimalist in design: with a mere ten watts per channel, they're probably not blowing away your current setup anytime soon. However, with their acoustically dead porcelain and cork housings, all the power goes exactly where it should, and, well, just look at them—we haven't seen anything this simultaneously organic and futuristic since RoboCop, and he was a damn sight less pleasant to listen to.

Prada Chess Set
History's most intellectual game, as seen through the eyes of the most intellectual designers out there, and made as sleek and modern as one of the Italian house's signature suits.

Upgrade Your Bar

Making great drinks doesn't just take top-shelf booze—you need the right equipment, too. GQ's resident cocktail expert rounds up 10 tools every home bartender should have in their kitchen, from shakers to glasses.

Shaker
Most proper drinks require stirring or shaking—sorry, we don't recognize Red Bull and vodka as a proper drink. It's all about mixing the flavors of the different ingredients properly and giving the drink the appropriate amount of coolness and dilution. (When it comes to cocktails, dilution is a good thing.) This Parisian-style shaker is both elegant and durable. Use both parts to shake drinks with citrus, like Margaritas, and use the bottom to stir spirit-only drinks, like Manhattans and Martinis, where you want the drink to be bright and clear.

Hawthorne Strainer
After shaking or stirring a drink, you want to make sure to remove all of the ice and/or fruit pulp. There are a variety of strainers out there, but the easiest one to use is the Hawthorne strainer—just make sure to get one with a tightly wound coil.

Jigger
Some see the use of jiggers in bars as a a sign of stinginess. Do these people complain about bakers using measuring cups, too? Accuracy in cocktail making counts—at least if you want a good drink. There are more traditional measurers like this, but if you don't want to have a bunch of them cluttering your counter, this OXO number is the way to go.

Cocktail Stirrer
Please, don't use just any old spoon to stir your drink. Are you making a Manhattan, or Metamusil? A long, thin bar spoon like this one will help you stir quickly without creating a lot of disruption that may make the drink cloudy—stirred drinks like Martinis should be bright and clear.

Citrus Juicer
If a recipe calls for citrus juice, always use the fresh stuff. Always. It takes a little more effort, but produces infinitely better drinks. Toss away the sour mix and start squeezing—your margarita will thank you for it.

Yarai Mixing Glass
My favorite cocktail? The one I make practically every evening after work? The Manhattan. Sure, I could use the bottom half of a shaker or a pint glass to make the drink, but this stout glass is easier to handle, has a spout, and is much more elegant. Not a necessity—even though it's the standard mixing glass in fancy cocktail bars from Tokyo to Brooklyn—but totally worth the extra space in your cupboard if you find yourself making more stirred drinks than shaken ones.

Pug! Muddler
You can't make a mojito without a muddler. This one is on the large side, so it feels like a baseball bat in your hand, and gives you nice control over what you're mashing at the bottom of a glass. Remember: Be firm but gentle. You want to bring out the essential oils of mint, not bruise it into a limp green mess.

Ice Cube Trays
Those perfect cubes you see in better cocktail joints usually come from something called a Kold Draft machine. You could install one in your home—it'll put you back a couple of thousand—or you could get the next best thing, these silicone ice cube trays. They stack neatly in tall drinks like a gin rickey, and the larger two-inch square cubes work well for whiskey on the rocks. You'll never go back to using your freezer's oddly shaped ice again.

Channel Knife
If a recipe calls for a twist of citrus peel, this is the tool you'll need to make it. Other than being pretty, twists often add crucial aromatics to the cocktail. Sure, you could ignore the garnish and your drink will be fine, but chances are the twist will make the drink better. And you want a better drink, don't you?

The Least Influential People of 2012

Any magazine can do a year-end list of influential people who have accomplished far more than most of us ever will. But only GQ possesses the iron testicles to count down the twenty-five least significant men and women of 2012—a collection of people so uninspiring that we should round them all up and stick them on an iceberg. Please note that these folks are ranked in no particular order, because all zeros are created equal.

1.  Mitt Romney
 Was anyone inspired by Mitt Romney? Did anyone vote enthusiastically for Mitt Romney? Of course not. Voting for Romney is like hooking up with the last single person at the bar at 4 a.m. The only successful thing he did this year was embody every black stand-up comedian's impression of a white person. Thank God the election's over. No more endless photos of Mitt staring winsomely off-camera with that attempted smile on his face. No more glaring campaign mishaps week after week after week. No more labored media efforts to make him look like anything other than Sheldon Adelson's pampered money Dumpster. Good-bye, Mitt. I hope you enjoy the rest of your life quietly ensconced at Lake Winnipesaukee, blissfully ignorant of the plight of anyone who doesn't have $300 million squirreled away in the Bahamas.

2.  Amanda Bynes
I didn't think it was possible for God to invent a worse driver than Lindsay Lohan, but here you go. Bynes spent all of 2012 avoiding acting gigs and trying desperately to run over your dog. And yet she isn't anywhere close to being as fascinating a train wreck as Lohan. I could watch Lohan implode for years and years, yet Bynes merits only a token shrug. Step up your game, missy. Sometime in the near future, there's a sensational vehicular-manslaughter trial with your name on it!

3.  Madonna
That cheerleading outfit isn't making you look any younger, Madge. It's time for you to stop putting out aggressively bland comeback albums and make room for Ke$ha and Katy and the other 800 female artists out there who change outfits every five minutes to distract people from their terrible singing.

4.  Dwight Howard
Congratulations, Dwight! You're a Laker now. And all you had to do to become one was spend months making vague demands of the Orlando Magic and then backtracking on those demands like a spineless pussy until every American hated your guts and wanted to see you fail. "I'll stay in Orlando if you fire my coach! Or maybe I won't. Or maybe you could fire the coach and then build a statue of me made out of frozen butter. NO WAIT TRADE ME TO BROOKLYN NO WAIT DON'T TRADE ME THERE BECAUSE I THOUGHT BROOKLYN WAS MORE CONVENIENT TO MANHATTAN THAN IT ACTUALLY IS." In a just world, Dwight Howard will hurt his knee and doctors will take seventeen months to make a proper diagnosis.

5.  Gotye
For two decades I have waited for the next Cobain, a voice so original that it changes the face of rock 'n' roll. Finally, this year, an outsider came along who broke the stranglehold of processed pop and became a global sensation. It's just too bad that the artist in question is a Belgian emo guy who can't handle a simple breakup with a hint of grace. "You didn't have to stoooooop so low." You make Alanis Morissette sound like Slayer. You are rock's genocide. Also, the next time you film yourself naked for a video, wash your feet.

6.  George Zimmerman
There's nothing funny about the tragic shooting death of Trayvon Martin. However, there is something morbidly comedic about a man deluding himself into thinking that his life is in danger because a black teenager walking by might assault him with a bag of Skittles. In George Zimmerman's world, he's a hero. Thankfully, very, very few other human beings live in George Zimmerman's world.

7.  Michelle Obama
It was a game effort by the first lady to get Americans to eat healthier. She founded the "Let's Move!" campaign to get our children to contemplate forward locomotion. She even wrote a book about growing her own vegetables, which many people bought as a passive-aggressive way of telling someone they're fat. And yet we're still all hopeless corpulent shits. You tried, Mrs. Obama. You really did. Sorry we're such poor listeners. Now why not join the winning team and indulge in this delicious pint of Häagen-Dazs Caramel Cone ice cream? It's so rich and sweet and delectable. Come on. REWARD YOURSELF.

8.  Ryan Lochte
The individual-medley-of-douchiness world record was shattered this year by Lochte, the U.S. swimmer who managed to increase the Ashton Kutcher-ness of the London Games by 80 percent. Lochte would have been far more influential if he'd come in dead last. That way, American fathers could have turned to their sons
and said, "You see? This is what happens to you when you buy American-flag mouth grills and act like a dipshit." There will always be a place on this list for the man who invented the catchphrase Jeah!

9.  Gregg Williams
The disgraced former NFL defensive coordinator—the man who pioneered the New Orleans Saints' bounty program—is the rare person stupid enough to deserve being scapegoated. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell needed a proper villain to make sure that fans thought the violence inherent in football was actually the work of a few rogue actors, and Williams played the role perfectly by putting his bounty system into PowerPoint and ordering his charges to "kill the head" of opposing players. What a moron. Also, no grown man would ever be inspired by the following actual Gregg Williams motivational slogans:

"Respect/Fear!!!"

"This isn't even shooing the chicken."

"FUCKING COMPLACENT."

"Bus your trays back to the cafeteria!"

9.  Gregg Williams
10.  Jerry Sandusky's Lawyer
Let us take a stroll through the razor-sharp legal mind of Joe Amendola: "I know! I'll have my client go on national TV prior to his trial to be grilled by Bob Costas so we can all witness him declare, ‘I enjoy young people,' after searching blankly for the proper response to the question ‘Are you sexually attracted to young boys?' as if Costas just asked him where he put his car keys. How can this possibly go wrong?"

11.  Guy Fieri
This year the white-trash fusion chef opened his flagship Manhattan restaurant, featuring a pork shank that was cooked like one giant piece of General Tso's chicken and a menu that explicitly declared, "Go big or go home!" Crush that shank, you guys! I'd wager that 90 percent of his customers that first night were foodies planning to review the place ironically. The other 10 percent were tourists for whom Turkey Tequila Fettuccine represents the apex of molecular gastronomy. Oooh, a whole lamb bathed in Cheetos dust! FANCY.

12.  Keith Olbermann
There was only one bridge left for Olbermann to burn this year, and when it was time for him to alienate himself from Current TV, he did it in classic Olbermann fashion, bitching about broken promises and writing frantic missives to anyone who dared accuse him of being less than a perfect little angel while working at Current. But don't feel bad for Keith. He's now free to live the life he's always dreamed of: taping "Special Comment" segments from his own toilet and descending into a permanent state of manic paranoia. Why can't this happen to Hannity, too?

13.  Lance Armstrong
Every year brings new and incontrovertible evidence that Lance Armstrong is the polar opposite of the inspiring legend he was once made out to be. It's like peeling back the layers of an onion that's nestled inside an asshole. Just this year, Armstrong dropped his fight against the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in the most dickish and self-delusional way possible ("There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, ‘Enough is enough' "), then got fired by Nike and his own Livestrong charity. Also, Outside magazine found that Livestrong "donates almost nothing to scientific research." I put nothing past him anymore. By 2014, I expect him to be charged with supplying elephant growth hormone to Roger Clemens and orchestrating the civil war in Syria.

14.  Billy Crystal
It's a measure of how irrelevant the Oscars have become that Eddie Murphy could back out of the gig and producers thought that bringing in an even more washed-up comic would somehow rejuvenate the ceremony. Did Billy compare movies to baseball within six seconds of strolling out onto the stage? Of course he did. Did he dress up in blackface and impersonate Sammy Davis Jr.? Of course he did. Did he plug his new horrible-looking movie—the one that wasn't slated to come out for ten more months? Of course he did. There should've been a live from the catskills graphic on the screen during his monologue. "This is my ninth time hosting the Oscars. So tonight just call me War Horse." Take his jokes—please.

15.  Bobby Valentine
The Boston Red Sox jettisoned manager Terry Francona—who only won two World Series for his famously cursed franchise—in favor of Valentine, a man whose greatest accomplishment in baseball remains wearing a fake-mustache disguise to sneak back into the dugout after getting ejected from a game. Bobby V immediately obliterated the Sox, somehow dividing the clubhouse even further less than a year after the Sox had bickered their way to one of sports history's all-time great collapses. He called his own third baseman a head case, allegedly got caught napping on the job, and capped off the year by calling his team "the weakest roster we've ever had in September in the history of baseball." Bobby, in your incapable hands, any roster is the weakest roster in baseball.

16.  Whoever Directed  John Carter
John Carter became the biggest bomb in history in part because Andrew Stanton, the movie's director, mistakenly believed that we were as into Edgar Rice Burroughs as he was. Next time you waste $250 million shooting and reshooting a terrible movie based on obscure source material, ask around first. Not everyone is frothing for a Captain Koala movie, my friend.

17.  James Dolan
I don't understand what possesses the James Dolans and Donald Sterlings and Dan Snyders of the world to exhaust every way to get everyone to hate their guts. Is that rewarding? Is the Knicks owner even human? Does he have some kind of "stubborn dick" gene that the rest of us lack? Maybe Dolan will invite us to his secret daily lunch with Isiah Thomas and clue us in.

18.  Aaron Sorkin
Watching an Aaron Sorkin show is like someone force-reading you the Huffington Post. Only with The Newsroom, it's as if all the HuffPo entries are taken from 2010 and Coldplay's "Fix You" is playing in the background. This was the year TV critics finally realized that having a lot of dialogue does not equal having good dialogue. ZOMG SO MANY WORDS HOW DOES SORKIN DO IT? The only time The Newsroom will ever actually affect the news is a year from now, when my Twitter feed lets me know it's been canceled.

19.  Adam Sandler
Every year, Adam Sandler releases fresh cinematic evidence that he has no respect for you, your $12, or your cognitive abilities. And thanks to the disappointing gross for That's My Boy, Americans have finally caught on. At this point, the only reason Sandler makes movies is so that Rob Schneider can earn a living. It's like political cronyism, only the end result is a shitty movie instead of a bridge to nowhere. Political cronyism is funnier.

20.  The Remaining Scraps of Occupy Wall Street
Good job, guys! You really showed those Wall Street bigwigs you meant business by failing to adopt proper leadership and embodying virtually every awful liberal-hippie stereotype—the hand signals, the completely non-germane protest signs,  the white-boy dreadlocks... I mean, you really went all out to piss away the public's sympathy as quickly as possible. Say what you will about the Tea Party, at least it managed to get people elected.

21.  Jamie Dimon
It's a measure of how completely fucked the banking world is that the JPMorgan Chase CEO can have his investment office suffer a $6 billion trading loss—a loss that came from the same kind of risky credit-swap deals that ruined the economy four years ago—and still keep his job. In fact, Dimon later said he's "an outspoken defender of the truth." O RLY? He's the perfect evil CEO. I picture him bathing in a tub of gold Krugerrands and firing a pistol at his butler to make him tap-dance.

22.  James Brady
I'm sorry to put you on this list, sir. Your efforts to curb gun violence in this country have been admirable. And yet we can't stop shooting one another. In fact, every time there's a mass shooting, we actually go buy more guns so that we can get to the next mass shooting even faster. Maybe we should move on to easier causes. Like grenade control. If we try hard enough, I think we could easily reduce mass grenadings in this country by 100 percent.

23.  Jim Lehrer
"Um, excuse me, excuse me, lemme just... Governor, we're way over. We're going to come back to taxes in just a moment... Excuse me, no wait, WAIT. You keep talking! Why do you keep talking! I'M IN CONTROL HERE, DAMMIT! I AM A RESPECTED NEWSMAN AND YOU WILL... No, no, I'm not fini—STOP STUMPING! [begins to cry] People don't know how hard this is, okay? You guys just ignore me and go right into your own talking points! Oh, you don't agree? Okay, I'll give you seventy minutes for rebuttal."

24.  Hulk Hogan
When I was a kid, I wanted to be just like Hulk Hogan. Funny how getting caught banging his best friend's wife on tape and then finding out that his best friend was allegedly the one taping it has now diminished my admiration. Kudos to Hulk for having a big ol' dick, though. That thing is thicker than a turnbuckle.

25.  Tucker Carlson
Stop having Daily Caller employees harass the president when he's trying to finish a sentence, and stop dressing like a Dead Poets Society villain, and maybe people will take you seriously.

Best Stuff of the 2017 Year

It's hard to say if our ninth annual list of the year's greatest designs, gadgets, and toys is our best yet—actually, yes, we can say that. It was one hell of a year for gear. So don't just lie there staring at your record collection. Rewrite your wish list now.

A Stereo to Build Your House Around

Before iPod docks took over our living rooms, awe-inspiring "all-in-one" audio systems ruled the world. Symbol Audio's Modern Record Console is the missing link, with both our analog past (turntable, tube amplifier) and our digital present (Wi-Fi for streaming tunes) built into its eternally sexy '50s-inspired walnut-and-steel design.

Nobody'll Know How Little You Paid

Most days, there are as many of Herschel's color-splashed backpacks in the GQ offices as there are skinny ties. For 2012, this three-year-old Vancouver-based brand applied the same winning formula—functional, affordable, simple design in a Skittles array of colors—to its Novel duffel. Its killer app is a waterproof zip-up shoe hatch on the side, which also works as a dirty laundry quarantine or a safe space for prone-to-spill grooming products.

 What You Get When You Google "Best Tablet"

Didn't Apple just come out with a mini tablet? Yep. Google did, too—six months ago. And I haven't put the Nexus 7 down since. It's my e-reader (thanks, Kindle app!), my fact-finder (Google's voice search makes Siri look sorry), and my assistant—it knows when I have a meeting and lets me know when I should leave based on traffic. Plus, at $200, I won't freak if I leave the Nexus 7 in the taxi.—Jon Wilde

The Douchiest Cars of All Time

People love theirs cars, but some love showing them off even more. Jamie Lincoln Kitman breaks down the loudest, glitziest, and most pointless rides to ever vulgarize the road
Cars can tell us a lot about the people who own and drive them, though in all fairness, it's not always clear what someone's car is saying. Few cars will mean the same thing to all who clap eyes on them. But some do, and in this select group are the ones that unmistakably, incontrovertibly cry douchebag.

Pardon our French, but the D-word is only the latest overused, off-color term to describe the phenomena of universal hate-ability that accompanies some people, and, as it happens, some cars. Not long ago, "asshole" was one such all-purpose term. The sad historical fact is that D-bags, assholes, jackasses, et al have always been loose amongst us, walking the planet since homo became erectus. For the last hundred years or so, they've been driving on it, too, often like jerks. Hence the phrase "douchebag car": It's a concept as old as motoring itself.

Mind you, not every douchebag drives a douchebag car. Time marches on, too. One era's douchebag car may be today's treasured classic. And, a la different strokes for different folks, there are different types of douchebag cars for different types of douchebags. But before going further, it is critical to draw the distinction between douchebag cars as a group and other unique categories of automotive derision, like clown cars, (AMC Pacer, Suzuki X90) loser-mobiles (Austin Marina, Yugo, Ford Tempo), and other such serial misadventures in ironic motoring as I've known in my life (too numerous to list.) Such cars and their owners are to be pitied, not hated.

The hate-able hallmarks of the classical D-bag ride may include excessive aggression, vulgarity in all its forms, over-the-top profligacy, and supercharged pretense. To make our list, a car needs these, plus, crucially, it must reflect its owners' oblivion to his or her own bad taste, and consequent celebration of it. The fact that he found this car, and that it found him and others like him, says it all.

Touché? No, sir, Douché!

The Pick-up Douche
Lincoln Blackwood

Sorry, folks, not the African-American porn star, but Lincoln's first truck: The Blackwood was a cynical attempt by the then-extra un-green Ford Motor Company to grow the oxymoronical (and highly profitable) luxury truck category to include not just SUVs, like its seminally vulgar Navigator, but large pickups, too. Replete with designer plastic, fake wood, and stainless steel real and imagined, the four-door Blackwood came one way, finished in black and ridiculous all over, with sales hobbled by a weensy, almost vestigial cargo bed. Largely useless by real truck standards, the Lincoln's eye-popping price tag was just a bonus. All of which explains why they pulled the plug on it in 2002, just one year after they started (trying) to sell it. Even today, it takes a special kind of...you know...to drive one.

GQ Selects: November

Scott Sternberg has really created the ideal button-down for modern guys. It's a classic style, but he's played with the proportions, shrinking them to hug the body, and shortening the length so it looks good untucked.  This neutral brown-and-gray plaid is the perfect starter shirt for that guy who wants to get some pattern into his closet, but is apprehensive about jumping into the deep end.

Timex Easy Reader Leather Strap Watch

Gray is the watch color of the season, and what's great about the trend is that you can get one at any price, like this Timex. A rugged suede strap balances out the minimalist details, like the pared-down gunmetal-plated case and the tonal face, while the sleek profile gives it a contemporary look that's wearable seven days a week.

Gant Rugger Knit Cap

This knit hat from Gant Rugger takes inspiration from the watch caps worn by fisherman and dockworkers and renders it in the meanest color of the season: mustard. For guys who are wary of the bold hue, it's best to start with a single piece like this.

The North Face Denali Triclimate 3-in-1 Jacket
There's no reason performance outerwear can't also look great. The fire engine red shell gives this North Face jacket eye-catching style, especially when paired with the graphic black chest and elbow patches—the sleekness of a sports car, with the toughness of a Mack truck.

A.P.C. New Cure Straight-Leg Jeans
This is the slimmest jean in Jean Touitou's arsenal of prime raw-denim cuts. The New Cure tapers closely from the knee to the ankle, resulting in a silhouette that works as well with a casual Friday sports jacket as it does a in your weekend wardrobe. And these will mold to the wearer over time, making each pair truly unique.

Gant Rugger Tartan Plaid Blazer
As Frank Ocean proves in our December issue, a sport coat is essential to every guy's wardrobe, young or old. This one from Gant Rugger reimagines the stodgy tartan plaid with a tailored blazer that looks stellar over a hoodie (as shown on Ocean), or just about any combo in your closet that isn't a shirt and tie.
