10 Unexpected Gifts to Pick Up from Jos. A. Bank

Jos. A. Bank Traditional Fit Plaid Shirt Jacket

A shirt jacket is an essential item in any guy’s closet, working as a great layering piece that can be worn throughout the year.

This one, in a red plaid, is cozy and timeless, while the wool blend material elevates it from casual wear to something you can wear to Christmas dinner. The shirt jacket is unisex enough to work as an oversized “boyfriend sweater” or “boyfriend shirt” for women too.

Jos. A. Bank Flannel Robe

Few things are as luxurious as lounging around a hotel room in your robe, and now you can take that feeling home with you thanks to this Jos. A. Bank pick.

What we like: the flannel material is a nice upgrade from the fluffy department store robes that often fade and pile after washing. Flannel retains the coziness and warmth of a fluffy robe while maintaining its shape over time. The blue color, meantime, gives “grown at home” vibes – not college dorm.

Jos. A. Bank Handkerchiefs, 2-Pack

While modern men may not carry handkerchiefs in their pockets as much these days, don’t overlook the importance of having one on-hand as a pocket square.

This set gets you a two-pack of Jos. A. Bank’s classic signature white handkerchiefs, made from a crisp white cotton and ready to take any outfit up a notch.

Jos. A. Bank Tailored Fit Fair Isle Crew Neck Sweater

If you’re too old for an “ugly Christmas sweater party” but still want to look festive, we suggest this Fair Isle crew neck sweater, which injects a little bit of Scandinavian winter style into any outfit.

This one is easy to wear and easy to take care of, made from a cotton blend that’s warm, comfortable and machine-washable. The tailored fit of the sweater makes it easy for you to wear it on its own, or over a collared shirt for a more put-together look.

Jos. A Bank Pima Cotton Quarter Zip Sweater

One of the most versatile pieces you can own is a quarter-zip sweater, which works as well for the office as it does for date night or for staying warm at a game.

I personally always bring a quarter-zip sweater with me whenever I’m traveling, as it’s light enough to pack in my carry-on, and easy enough to throw over my clothes if I need an extra layer on the plane or at dinner.

The collar makes a quarter-zip less casual than a sweatshirt, though you can really wear it the same way. This pick comes in seven colors and multiple sizes.

Nomatic Navigator Tech Organizer

Speaking of travel, you never want to just throw your cords and cables in your bag. Keep them separated (read: untangled) and neatly organized with this tech pouch. It’s made from a durable, water-resistant material and it has multiple pockets and compartments for everything from chargers to earbuds.

Jos. A. Bank Laptop Sleeve Bag

Jos. A. Bank takes the lowly laptop sleeve and updates it into a chic and practical sling bag. This one holds up to a 14-inch laptop or tablet, and it’s got a front pocket that can hold your charger, cables and other small accessories.

We like the navy and black colorway, which lets you easily wear this bag with any outfit, from a hoodie and jeans, to a full suit.

Jos. A. Bank Solid Cashmere Beanie

A good beanie or knit cap is a must for winter, but better to leave the floppy hats and pom pom styles in high school. This one, from Jos. A. Bank, is made from refined cashmere with a more tailored fit. The cashmere is soft against your noggin’ and is super breathable too, so you won’t sweat under your hat. Choose from four colors.

Jos. A. Bank Backscratcher

This Jos. A. Bank backscratcher makes an unexpected stocking stuffer or white elephant gift. It’s made with a stainless steel handle with a nonslip rubber grip and is great for solo use or with a partner. What we like: the backscratcher comes in a box for easy gifting.

Jos. A. Bank Colorblock Scarf

And if all else fails, you can’t go wrong with a scarf. Our suggestion: leave the seasonal prints and predictable patterns behind and go for a minimalist and modern option like this one. The gray and black colorblocking adds a subtle, fashion-forward touch to any outfit, without going over the top.

We like the texture of the knit material too, which adds visual interest. Wear this around the neck like a regular scarf or unfurl it to use as a wrap around the shoulders. The possibilities are endless.
