The All Night Listening Post Christmas Gift Guide


Christmas is just round the corner. You're no doubt starting to wonder what to buy for your loved ones and perhaps mild panic is sinking in when I tell you there's 5 shopping weekends left till December 25th. So, take the stress out of giving with this gift guide, curated by the All Night Listening Post and featuring a collection of goods from my friends at Huckberry.

I know I'm difficult to buy for (apparently) so the men in your life probably are too - The gifts featured in this guide are guaranteed to put a smile on their face on Christmas morning. Whether he's a 9-5 cube farmer or an actual farmer, theres something on this list for everyone.

Full Disclosure: I'm posting this in the hope my girlfriend does actually read my blog and might buy me at least one of these things for Christmas.

DANNER LIGHT BOOT
by Danner


As far as this boot is concerned, its still the golden era of backpacking.

To build it, Danner bootmakers sought out leathers identical to those used on the original model. This reintroduced classic features stitchdown construction and ground-chewing Vibram® Kletterlift outsoles. Full-grain leather and 1000 Denier nylon uppers deliver outstanding protection and support in a relatively lightweight package.

WESTERLY CREW
By Finisterre


A traditional fisherman style cable jumper knitted in a Donegal tweed yarn and made from 100% British wool. The wool has had minimal processing and retains the lanolin in the yarn, giving it a natural feel and smell.

A barbershop shave, minus the barbershop.

AMERICANA JACQUARD THROW
By Woolrich




Two centuries of US-made warmth.

As the oldest running vertically-integrated woolen mill in the United States, Woolrich has spent the last 183 years perfecting the art of wool — which more than deserves a toast (whiskey, neat we’d wager). Its 100 percent fine-grade, soft hand wool blankets are breathable, anti-odorous, and extremely durable — after all, a wool fiber can bend 20 thousand times without breaking. From providing blankets to soldiers during the Civil War to outfitting Admiral Byrd’s expedition to Antarctica, Woolrich has claimed its lasting spot in the annals of American heritage. With its proud jacquard-woven eagle surrounded by a ring of stars, the Americana throw is destined to become a classic.


NO8 KNIFE + SHEATH BOX SET
By Opinel
The most iconic French pocket knife.

Flip through a French dictionary to the page containing the word “Opinel,” you’ll see that’s it’s defined simply as a wooden folding knife. Read a little further between the lines, and you’ll see that this little wooden folding knife is in fact so deeply entrenched in French culture that it’s no longer just the name of a company — it’s an icon synonymous with the everyday French necessity, the pocket knife. The No. 8 knife is the most iconic and bestselling of the folding Opinel blades.
