This month's Style Icon is Remon Danforah, Gentlemen's Clothier. Both of his stores, in downtown Birmingham and at The Summit, have some great gifts for that often-hard-to-buy-for man in your life. Here are a few ideas:
1) Truefitt & Hill Luxury Grooming Products
Men don't like to admit it, but - metrosexual or not - they like nice beauty products. Established in London in 1805, Truefitt & Hill is the world's oldest barbershop, catering over the years to such illustrious clients as Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant and even John Wayne (who knew?) The ultimate in gentlemen's grooming, Truefitt & Hill offers everything a man needs to stay dapper, from snappy shaving sets to yummy-smelling cologne. A great gift that he most likely wouldn't buy for himself (but would want to).
2) Umbrella by Davek New York
A must-have for any gentleman is a dependable umbrella - one that won't leak or - worse - turn inside out on a windy day. Davek makes some of the best umbrellas around, so good that they come with a lifetime guarantee. The compact size, sturdy frame, handsome handle and 190 thread count canopy (the most tightly woven available) make this the only umbrella your man (or YOU, for that matter) will ever need.
3) Money Clip by M-ClipM-Clip bills themselves as "the world's finest money clip," and rightly so. Built to old world standards found in fine jewelry, their patented functionality and unique design allow cash and credit cards to be held more securely with less bulk. Available in a variety of finishes (including gold, silver, platinum, and rhodium), laser-cut designs, and quality insets (from alligator to mother-of-pearl to Neoprene rubber), there is a style to suit any man.
4) Cuff-Links
