Eight Days of Style
Reader Lucy wrote to us to ask that we suggest eight super-basic, affordable Hanukkah gifts for her boyfriend “to replace his stained light-wash jeans and Nine Inch Nails t-shirts.” We’ll offer one choice for each day the oil burned.
Above: get him a mid-brown 1 1/4” belt from Narragansett Leathers. They’ll make it to your specifications for $32, and finish it with a nice brass buckle. It may not be the only belt he ever needs, but he will certainly need this belt. (Get him one in black, too.)
And while you’re at it, grab him a few Narragansett beers. Just make sure you order the belt with a few extra notches. I know you’ve heard of a beer belly, right?
Narragansett beer brings back a slew of great drunken memories that I experienced during a Christmas road trip. During the trip, Kate, I, and a group of friends, travelled from Alabama all the way up to Providence, Rhode Island. And this is where we had the pleasure of trying our first Narragansett beer. One particular fuzzy memory involves me building the largest snowman in the world. Too bad it melted before Guinness got there to confirm.
