Thankful for the past 30 years
Dear Friends, For Floridians, the anticipation of all things autumn is palpable. We have endured the intense heat and humidity of summer and are aching for a break—any break—in the temperatures. And for those of us who love luxury clothing, cooler weather brings with it the opportunity to begin transitioning our wardrobes. Beyond more moderate temperatures, however, there isn’t much evidence of the changing seasons. The sun shines year-round in Florida, and our lawns and trees remain green. So we create our own seasons— planting fall foliage, changing the décor in our homes and, of course, dressing in the rich, beautiful hues most associated with autumn. Our fellow Floridians, whether native or transplanted, will attest to the importance we place on all of the above. We began curating your fall wardrobe last December and January, traveling to Chicago, New York, Dallas and Italy to ensure that everything we offer is just right for every aspect of your life this autumn. We know you want to look and feel your best at work, at galas, at weddings and everything in between. We know this because we know you. For 30 years, John Craig has been building relationships with dear friends who entrust us with helping them look their best for the most important moments in their lives. We have never taken that responsibility lightly, and we never will. You matter to us. Your family matters to us. You are the secret to our success, and we are endlessly grateful for the trust you place in us. As we reflect on the last 30 years, the overwhelming emotion we feel is gratitude. We are blessed to be able to do what we love every day, and incredibly fortunate to have each of you in our lives. We are grateful for the freedoms of this country that have allowed us to build a successful business and, most importantly, a community. We are deeply indebted to the countless members of our team who have graced the stores, offices, warehouses, backrooms and tailor shops we have operated over the past three decades. And we are honored to work alongside the worldrenowned clothing partners whose exceptional creations we are privileged to offer in our stores. Our work—and this magazine—is truly a labor of love, and we love sharing it with you. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of being part of your lives in such a meaningful way, and for allowing us to share a little of ours with you. We cannot wait to see you, help you discover the new fall collection and, as always, share the season with you in person. Craig, Blair and the John Craig Family

Tailored to PERFECTION Step into Italian elegance with every stride. Berwich trousers are the hallmark of refined menswear, marrying expert craftsmanship with modern tailoring. Born from a tradition of sartorial excellence that began in Puglia in 1975, each pair is cut from premium fabrics—soft wools, crisp cottons and versatile blends—that drape flawlessly. The fit is meticulous yet comfortable, making them the perfect match with a sportcoat, fine knit or linen shirt. Minimalist details and timeless silhouettes ensure effortless style, while the quality and precision of construction promise longevity. For men who demand elegance without sacrificing ease, Berwich trousers offer a sleek, enduring foundation for a polished wardrobe. Stop by John Craig and give Berwich a try.
Simply STYLISH Some luxury brands announce themselves. Others simply let their craftsmanship do the talking. Founded in 2009 in Ferrara, Italy, Settefili Cashmere blends contemporary design with a knitting tradition rooted in a workshop dating back to 1953. Using the world’s finest cashmere, merino wool, linen and cotton, each garment is crafted with meticulous attention to detail by skilled Italian artisans. The result is knitwear that feels as luxurious as it looks—timeless, understated and effortlessly sophisticated. For the gentleman who appreciates impeccable quality over flashy logos, Settefili Cashmere is the very definition of quiet Italian luxury.
STAY AWHILE One of Naples’ most anticipated openings, the Olde Naples Hotel brings timeless elegance to the heart of historic Third Street South. Inspired by the city’s original 1889 Naples Hotel, this refined boutique retreat blends classic coastal architecture with contemporary luxury, offering beautifully appointed accommodations, a rooftop pool and refined gathering spaces just steps from the beach, upscale boutiques and acclaimed restaurants. As the newest addition to the Opal Collection, the hotel captures the charm and walkable appeal that make Old Naples so distinctive—an ideal home base for a weekend escape or an extended stay immersed in the best of Southwest Florida.

GREAT TASTES Inspired by the warmth and charm of Florida’s historic citrus groves, The Grove Bar + Kitchen brings a modern take on New American dining to Winter Park. The inviting restaurant pairs polished surroundings with a relaxed refinement, offering a menu built around seasonal ingredients, creative cocktails and dishes designed for lingering conversations. From thoughtfully crafted starters and shareable plates to signature entrées and an impressive beverage program (try the Grove Martini or the House Spritz), The Grove delivers a dining experience that feels both contemporary and timeless. Whether enjoying lunch, dinner or an evening gathering with friends, The Grove captures the effortless elegance that makes Winter Park’s culinary scene so distinctive. The Grove Bar + Kitchen, 480 N. Orlando Ave. C-134, Winter Park, 321.343.3003; thegrovebarandkitchen.com
The cabernet EFFECT Once reserved for the cooler months, burgundy has emerged as one of the most sophisticated shades in a gentleman’s wardrobe—bringing depth, warmth and understated elegance to every season. This rich, wine-inspired hue is making a confident transition, expanding from fall collections into resort and spring lines, proving its versatility well beyond traditional seasonal dressing. The key to wearing burgundy? Balance. Paired with crisp white, soft ecru or classic shades of blue, it creates a refined contrast that feels both timeless and contemporary. Whether featured in a lightweight sportcoat, a fine-gauge knit, tailored trousers or a casual polo, burgundy offers a fresh alternative to traditional neutrals—adding just the right touch of distinction for the well-dressed gentleman.

In-Store SPECIAL EVENTS
ASK MR. ETIQUETTE Craig DeLongy explains how to sail through life without giving offense. How can I look put together while still embracing today’s casual culture? —Worried in Winter Park Somewhere along the way, “casual” started getting a bad reputation. For some men, it became code for wrinkled shirts, tired sneakers and whatever happened to be closest on the closet floor. But a gentleman knows casual doesn’t mean careless. In fact, the most stylish men often look their best when they’re dressed down. The secret is intention. A great pair of dark denim or well-cut trousers, a knit polo or lightweight sweater, and suddenly you look relaxed but still put together. Toss on a soft sportcoat, and the outfit quietly steps up a level—without looking like you tried too hard. Fit matters more in casual clothing than almost anywhere else. Clothes should skim the body, not squeeze it or swallow it. When something fits properly, even the simplest outfit looks elevated. Then there are the shoes. They’re the quickest way to tell whether someone understands casual style. Clean sneakers, suede loafers or leather drivers suggest thought and polish. Beat-up gym shoes suggest you gave up somewhere around the driveway. Casual style is really about respect—for yourself and for the people you’re meeting. Looking put together says the moment matters. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s ease with a touch of intention. And that, more than anything, is the mark of a well-dressed gentleman.

OPEN-AIR ELEGANCE
A marriage of track-focused design with the exhilaration of top-down driving? That’s the newest iteration of the Porsche 911 GT3. Since its debut in 1963, the Porsche 911 has been one of the automotive world’s most enduring exemplars of performance and precision, a car that has evolved continuously without ever abandoning the character that made it iconic in the first place. Across decades of racing victories, engineering advancements and unmistakable design evolution, the 911 has managed to occupy and retain a rare space: It’s equally revered by collectors, enthusiasts and drivers who simply appreciate the art of driving. Now the German automaker is adding a bold new chapter to that legacy with its introduction of the 911 GT3 convertible. Combining the razor-sharp focus of the GT3 lineage with the sensory thrill of open-air motoring, the model heightens everything aficionados already love about the 911 experience. Its wider stance, sculpted aerodynamics and retractable soft top introduce a more dramatic and emotional interpretation of the company’s most track-focused road car—one that celebrates not only design details and speed, but atmosphere, sound and connection as well. Pricing is expected to begin around $275,000.

• ENGINE AND PERFORMANCE. At the heart of the GT3 convertible is Porsche’s celebrated 4.0-liter, naturally aspirated, flat-six, boxer engine. Engineers say it delivers 502 horsepower, a top speed of 194 miles per hour and a 0-to-60 time of 3.7 seconds. Drivers are treated to a six-speed manual (we hope Porsche’s PDK transmission will be available down the road), which promises a dynamic GT3 experience. • CHASSIS AND DYNAMICS. The new model’s chassis reinforcements maintain the rigidity associated with the GT3 name. Engineers have reportedly recalibrated the suspension specifically for the convertible platform, helping to preserve sharp handling and overall balance. Rear-wheel steering enhances maneuverability through tighter sections of road while improving stability at higher speeds. Together these systems are intended to deliver the responsive, confidence-inspiring performance drivers expect from a modern GT3. • AERODYNAMICS AND DESIGN. The GT3 convertible is a sexier version of the coupe (who knew that was possible?). It has a wider body, enlarged air intakes and carefully carved aerodynamic surfaces. At rest, it appears almost coiled, ready to strike. Roof down, the silhouette softens, revealing a more dramatic interpretation of the iconic 911 form.
• CONVERTIBLE ROOF SYSTEM. The retractable soft top is designed to combine open-air driving with the performance standards expected from the GT3. Engineers maintained structural rigidity and aerodynamic efficiency despite the convertible configuration. With the roof lowered, drivers can experience a more direct connection to the car’s engine and exhaust notes. The system also adds greater versatility, allowing the vehicle to transition comfortably between everyday cruising and spirited performance driving. • INTERIOR AND MATERIALS. The cabin combines performance-focused design with premium craftsmanship. Supportive bucket seats, Race-Tex upholstery and available carbon-fiber trim reflect the automobile’s motorsport influence while maintaining a refined overall feel. The design prioritizes driver engagement without sacrificing comfort or everyday usability. Modern digital displays and connectivity features help keep the interior contemporary and functional. • TECHNOLOGY AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE. Porsche incorporates a range of advanced performance technologies designed to enhance control and responsiveness. Adaptive suspension systems continuously adjust to changing road conditions, while updated aerodynamic systems also help optimize downforce and overall balance. Together, these features allow the car to deliver sharper handling without compromising driver confidence. • BRAKING AND MATERIALS. High-performance braking systems play a key role in the GT3 convertible’s track-focused character. Available carbon-ceramic brakes provide strong stopping power and improved heat resistance. Lightweight materials throughout the vehicle help reduce overall mass and improve responsiveness, contributing to its precise handling and highperformance capability.

JOHN CRAIG 30th Anniversary
Earlier this year, the John Craig family celebrated 30 years in fashion with an unforgettable evening alongside clients, vendors and the team members who have helped shape the company over the past three decades. Guests enjoyed a martini bar by Peter Millar, a tequila bar by Rye 51, a whiskey tasting by Citizens of Humanity, an Italian wine tasting by Canali and passed espresso martinis from Atelier Munro. And if that wasn’t enough, guests experienced personalized illustrations from Sunflower Man sponsored by Heritage Gold, and walked away with monogrammed pocket squares sponsored by Sartorio. Winter Park Mayor Sheila DeCiccio honored the occasion with an official proclamation, declaring March 5th “John Craig Day.” The evening was a testament to the relationships, craftsmanship and community that have defined John Craig for the past 30 years.

Spirits
This Much Is Clear
Premium vodkas prove that something transparent can be subtle too. Vodka is like the guy down the street who can bench press his own weight but who we never suspected wrote poetry—and we thought we knew him! Today, the world’s elite distillers are showing us vodkas that demand attention—rare, meticulously crafted and unapologetically luxurious. These premium vodkas are a study in clarity, texture and provenance, in which every drop tells a story of craft, heritage and innovation. This isn’t just a rudimentary liquor for hurried mixers or mundane cocktails. From small-batch Eastern European houses to avant-garde American artisans, each bottle offers an encounter—a sensory experience that reveals nuance, precision and elegance. Five brands in particular demand a second thoughtful sip:
Chopin Gold Blended Vodka
A refined, limited edition from the family-owned Chopin Distillery in Eastern Poland, this spirit is a masterful blend of the company’s creamy potato vodka and light, refined wheat vodka. Distilled four times in a traditional copper still and rested for two weeks, it develops remarkable smoothness. On the nose, soft citrus mingles with a hint of black pepper. The palate delivers rich creaminess, delicate jasmine and chamomile, and a final whisper of almond. Its elegant texture and balanced sweetness make it ideal neat or over ice.
60
Harlen D. Wheatley Century Vodka
Here’s a bold statement in purity. Crafted by Buffalo Trace in Kentucky, this ultra-premium vodka undergoes an astonishing 100 distillations in small-batch micro-stills, delivering unmatched clarity and smoothness. The aroma is crisp, with subtle grain and vanilla notes that hint at the meticulous craftsmanship. On the palate, this liquor has a silky texture with understated sweetness and a warming, refined depth. The finish is impeccably clean, lingering with precision and elegance. Reserved for collectors and connoisseurs, Century Vodka is an audacious exploration of technique and rarity.
Royal Bison Supreme Vodka
Born from the storied Brest Distillery (Belalco) in Belarus, this vodka is made from firstclass grain alcohol and water drawn from an artesian well 220 meters deep. It’s distilled seven times and filtered through semi-precious turquoise stone, giving it a crystalline clarity that’s echoed in its sleek, jewel-toned bottle. The nose is delicate yet profound, rich with soft grain. On the palate, the spirit is exceptionally balanced—smooth and elegantly rounded. A long, silky finish leaves a whisper of depth. This is vodka that inspires scrutiny—and rewards it.
Godfather Ultra Premium XXS Vodka
Originating from Armenia, this ultra-premium vodka is crafted from high-quality Alpha grain alcohol and pure mountain spring water. The “XXS” stands for “extra extra soft,” reflecting its ultra-pure, burn-free finish. On the nose, delicate marshmallow, fondant and lemon oil mingle with whispers of peppercorns and banana. The palate is velvety and elegant: crisp but smooth, with subtle sweetness and a light, tingling spice. The finish is clean yet complex, with a refined, lingering warmth. Perfect neat, in a martini or for collectors who appreciate polished sophistication.
Amnisia Handcrafted Vodka
Made from carefully selected Polish organic wheat and rye, this vodka undergoes a rigorous, 10-step production process, including sixfold distillation, nine passages of filtration (through activated charcoal, platinum and even 5,000 carats of natural diamonds) and a 72-hour oxygen saturation. The result is crystalline purity, with a clean, subtly floral nose, a silky, elegant palate and a smooth, lingering finish. Housed in a bespoke, handcrafted crystal-glass bottle, Amnisia just may make you forget yourself.

Yachts
Can One Vessel
HAVE IT ALL?
Today’s popular crossover yachts promise to make choosing between performance and comfort a quaint relic of the seagoing past. For decades, yacht buyers faced a well-known choice: prioritize speed and style or embrace comfort and long-range cruising. Today, a new category is blurring those traditional lines: the crossover yacht, often referred to as “the SUV of the sea.” Yachts in this rapidly growing segment combine the versatility of an explorer craft, the coziness of a cruiser and the lifestyle appeal of a contemporary luxury residence. Just as the sports-utility-vehicle revolution transformed auto consumers’ expectations on land, crossover yachts are reshaping what owners look for in life on the water. Designed around spacious living areas, enhanced fuel efficiency and extended cruising capability, these vessels place equal emphasis on adventure and ease. Semi-displacement hulls, flexible deck layouts and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces have become defining characteristics of the category. The crossover’s appeal is particularly strong among younger owners. Many of today’s millennial buyers—especially entrepreneurs, technol-
62
ogy executives and first-time owners—are less interested in formal salons and traditional yacht hierarchies. Flexibility has become the new luxury, and the new generation of consumers increasingly prioritizes lifestyle, sustainability, connectivity and multifunctional spaces over conspicuous displays of wealth. They seek platforms for watersports, entertaining, remote working and family travel. The advantages are substantial. Crossover yachts, such as Absolute’s flagship Navetta 75,
typically offer greater usable volume than conventional sport yachts, improved fuel economy and more adaptable living spaces. Many feature large aft decks capable of carrying tenders, toys or wellness amenities, while oversized windows and open-plan interiors forge a closer connection to the surrounding seascape. There are, however, trade-offs. Purists may find that crossover models sacrifice some of the high-speed performance and sleek profiles associated with traditional sport yachts. Their emphasis on comfort and practicality can result in larger superstructures and a more utilitarian aesthetic. Yet for many modern owners, these compromises are offset by increased versatility. Ultimately, crossover yachts reflect a broader shift in luxury itself. Ownership is becoming less about arriving in style and more about maximizing experiences. Whether anchored in a secluded cove or embarking on a multiweek coastal voyage, these vessels are designed for owners who value freedom, functionality and a deeper connection to the water. When their verdict is fully in, the crossover yacht may prove to be more than a trend. It may be the future of yachting.

Tomorrow’s Ski Paradise
Already renowned for luxury and skiers-only purity, Utah’s Deer Valley is undergoing a vast expansion that will involve brand-new, five-star properties. By Everett Potter Deer Valley Resort has epitomized the gold standard for American skiing since it opened in 1981. Located in Park City, Utah, it has been the byword for luxury lodging, perfect grooming and sheer mountain beauty. While resorts like Aspen and Beaver Creek also offer a luxury experience, Deer Valley provides something slightly different: a seamless ski environment where everything is polished and perfected. And it’s getting bigger and better. Drive up to the base lodge and a squadron of uniformed workers rush to take your skis and gear from your car and valet your vehicle. Once you’re on the mountain, making turns on runs like Success or Bird’s Eye on state-of-the-art groomed corduroy makes you feel like you’re flying. It’s never crowded, and my enjoyment is always boosted by knowing two things: that the mountain limits the number of skiers on busy days and that Deer Valley remains one of the few resorts in the United States that is for skiers only. Alongside Utah’s Alta and Vermont’s Mad River Glen, it bans snowboarding, which is music to the ears of many skiers, including me. The lodging is invariably a four- or five-star choice, the latter featuring the top brand names in hospitality. Will you stay at the St. Regis or the Montage? Or maybe the legendary Stein Eriksen Lodge, or at one of the over-the-top private homes at the resort that are ski-in/ski-out? Over many visits since 1999, Deer Valley has always given me the feeling that I’m skiing in a perfect snow globe, experiencing an ideal ski world where miles of corduroy and long lunches at places like Royal Street are the rule, and maybe catching some rays at “the beach” at Silver Lake in a recliner. Then it’s après-ski followed by dinner with friends at restaurants like Glitretind or Fireside Dining at Empire Canyon Lodge or Riverhorse on Main in downtown Park City. Then repeat the next day. Deer Valley was created by Edgar and Polly Stern, who amassed a fortune in the broadcasting and hospitality industries. They hired Olympic athlete and freestyle skiing pioneer Stein Eriksen, the gold-medal winner in giant slalom and the silver-medal recipient in slalom at the 1952 Oslo Winter Olympic Games. He advised the Sterns on how to create the world’s finest ski area, serving as director of skiing for more than three decades and lending his name to the five-star Stein Eriksen Lodge at Deer Valley. If nothing else had changed, Deer Valley would still rank at the top. But a few years ago, Deer Valley’s current owner, Alterra Mountain Company, partnered with Extell, a development company known for luxury buildings in Manhattan, to double the size of the resort. They named the expansion “Expanded Elegance,” and the
66
entire mountain complex is in the process of becoming one of the largest and most luxurious ski resorts in the world. When “Expanded Elegance” is completed, the resort will feature more than 5,726 acres of skiable terrain across 10 mountain peaks, accessible by 37 chairlifts serving 238 ski runs. The new terrain is centered on a new base village, Deer Valley East Village. The development has already changed the mountain, and the remaining components are on fast-forward as the state prepares for the 2034 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City. I’ve been back the past two winters to witness the growth, and the difference in even one year is astounding. Deer Valley is already expanding faster than anyone might have envisioned. On my 2025 visit, I was amazed by the vastness of the new terrain, which stretches for miles. The resort is spreading out east of Bald Mountain and includes South Peak, Park Peak, Big Dutch, Pioche and Hail Mountains. Many runs had already been cut, opening intermediate terrain while revealing some steep slopes, bowls and glades for expert skiers. The Green Monster, a new run that snakes down the mountain for 4.8 miles, opened in February 2025. It’s an easy run that beginners can enjoy, extending from Bald Mountain down to the new East Village. In the winter of 2025, I had lunch at the freshly opened Grand Hyatt. It’s an elegant and well-sited hotel with a vast, atrium-style lobby that offers expansive views across the Jordanelle Reservoir and the Uinta Mountains. I also rode the new, stateof-the-art Doppelmayr Keetley Express six-pack chair, which features heated, padded seats and a bubble you can pull down if it gets too chilly. Amid the snowpiles, there was construction everywhere you looked. I toured some of the newly opened terrain and saw the new terrain located across its several peaks, situated just east of Bald Mountain, featuring numerous bowls and gladed areas for more advanced skiers. It looked amazing, but it had yet to open. When I returned a year later, in February 2026, all of that terrain was open and skiable, crisscrossed by skiers, while the Grand Hyatt was dwarfed by another building rising out of the mountain: the new Four Seasons Resort and Residences Deer Valley. A couple of hundred yards away, the foundation for the Waldorf Astoria Deer Valley Resort and Residences had just been poured. At a ski resort that already has a claim to harboring the biggest brand names in luxury hospitality, everyone is waiting to see when a new facility from Aman, the preferred chain for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, will go from strong rumors to reality. The tone of the mountain is already changing a bit with the opening of Chute Eleven, a yurt in the Empire Canyon area offering a European-style

Navigating the steep, snow-covered slopes at Deer Valley Resort in Utah is a challenge for even the most experienced skier. Deer Valley is renowned for its expertly groomed runs and amenities, having won numerous awards as a top U.S. ski resort. The East Village Gondola, for instance, features heated cabins that are designed for passenger comfort; one arrives approximately every 12 seconds to give guests access the resort’s new expansion area.
après-ski experience. It’s a place with DJs, seafood towers and a signature lobster-and-caviar grilled cheese, an experience that is more St. Moritz than Deer Valley. But what really blew me away as a skier was the huge number of new runs and new lifts that were freshly opened. They included nearly 100 new ski runs, 10 new chairlifts and the 10-passenger East Village Express Gondola, which takes 15 minutes to make the three-mile run from Deer Valley East Village to Park Peak, where a new day lodge is under construction. Gazing out, it was hard to believe that this parade of mountains I had glimpsed from nearby Highway 40 for years were now in play, covered in the “champagne powder” that defines Utah skiing. I skied runs like Redemption Ridge, a very long roller-coaster ride, where you could choose to take one of the exceptionally steep trails running off the side, walled in by stands of trees, runs clearly aimed at expert skiers. At the base, a skier service facility for ski school, children’s programs, rentals, retail and dining options was being built. I was blissfully exhausted after a couple of days on the new terrain—not surprising, considering that Deer Valley East Village has more than doubled the resort’s skiable terrain. That alone would be news, but what makes this expansion especially noteworthy is that it’s top-heavy with new, five-star properties, even as luxury has long been the defining aura of Deer Valley. “Expanded Elegance” seems to be moving at warp speed and will continue to roll out rapidly through 2028. It’s a vast, artfully created resort, a luxury playground for well-heeled skiers who love winter. JOHN CRAIG FALL/WINTER 2026

Grooming
BE SMOOTH ALL YEAR
When cold weather is harsh on your skin, the right routine can keep your shave clean, close and comfortable. Winter has a way of exposing every weakness in a grooming routine. Cold air, indoor heat and dry skin can turn even the sharpest shave into a daily battle of irritation, razor burn and rough texture. But for the modern gentleman, shaving isn’t simply maintenance; it’s a knowing ritual. The right techniques and products can elevate the experience from rushed necessity to refined self-care. Think less rushed medicine-cabinet routine and more the polished grooming habits of men like David Beckham or Michael B. Jordan—refined and always camera-ready. This season, it’s all about smarter prep, better tools and a few upgrades that leave skin looking smooth, healthy and polished, whether you’re heading into the boardroom or stepping out for cocktails. • TEMPERATURE CONTROL. A steaming-hot shower may feel luxurious on a freezing morning, but hot water can strip skin of essential moisture—the last thing you want during winter. Lukewarm water softens facial hair without overdrying the skin, helping your razor glide more smoothly while minimizing irritation. Think of it as the grooming equivalent of tailoring: subtle adjustments that make a noticeable difference.
• THE RIGHT RAZOR. Disposable razors tug, pull and irritate skin, which is already stressed during winter months. A high-quality razor with sharp, clean blades provides precision while reducing unnecessary friction. Whether you prefer a classic safety razor or a premium multi-blade design, the key is maintenance. Dull blades are the fastest route to razor burn—and nothing about that says luxury.
• EASY EXFOLIATION. Dry winter skin has a habit of building up quickly, trapping hairs and dulling your complexion. A gentle exfoliator such as a fine facial scrub or a charcoal cleanser used before shaving can clear away dead-skin cells and help prevent ingrown hairs, giving your razor a cleaner path. The result? A closer shave and skin that looks fresh rather than fatigued. It’s a prep step men should never skip.
• BALMS THAT CALM. Post-shave balm is where recovery happens. After shaving, skin is vulnerable and more prone to dryness, redness and irritation, particularly in colder months. A nourishing balm with hydrating ingredients (such as aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and shea butter) helps calm the skin, restore moisture and leave behind a healthy finish rather than a tight, uncomfortable one. Think of it as the final layer in a well-curated grooming wardrobe.
• CREAM’S THE THING. Shaving foam may get the job done, but shaving cream delivers a far more elevated experience. Rich creams create better cushioning and offer a more hydrating lather, which is especially important when winter weather leaves skin tight and sensitive. A quality shaving cream also helps reduce friction and razor drag, turning an everyday routine into something far more polished and indulgent.
70
• AN EVENING ROUTINE. Morning shaves may feel efficient, but nighttime shaving gives skin valuable hours to recover and repair while you sleep. Without immediate exposure to cold air, pollution or sunlight, freshly shaved skin stays calmer and better hydrated. It’s a quieter, more intentional approach to grooming—and one that often results in smoother skin by the time morning meetings roll around.

What are your favorite pieces from the fall collections? Fall is my favorite season in menswear. I am always drawn to rich shades like burgundy and oxblood.

RACHEL GALLINA, STORE MANAGER, CURRENT BY JOHN CRAIG
What are your favorite pieces from the fall collections? I am really loving the newest version of Eleventy’s hooded jacket. It’s one of those rare pieces that feels just as good at home on a casual afternoon, as it does heading out to dinner. I love pieces that can take you through your entire day without feeling over- or underdressed, and this jacket does exactly that. What is the best part of your job? I love the creative challenge that comes with dressing for life’s important moments. It’s never just about finding something that looks good. It is about understanding where my clients are going, what they need from their wardrobe, and helping them feel like the best version of themselves. Besides menwear, what else are you passionate about? Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s golfing, paddleboarding or just enjoying Florida’s parks. I also enjoy baking, painting and Pilates. I think I’m happiest when I’m creating something or spending time outside. What is your favorite getaway for fall? Any place with cooler weather, beautiful architecture and good food. In fall, I love getting out of Florida for a few days, whether that’s Savannah, Charleston or East Tennessee. There’s just something about the crisp air, walking through historic towns and slowing down that feels like fall to me. Where do you take out-oftowners when they visit? I’d start the morning at East End Market for coffee and breakfast, then spend some time browsing the local shops before heading over to Leu Gardens for a walk. In the evening, I’d finish at Judson’s Live for bites, music and a glass of wine.
HETHER KELLY, CLOTHING CONSULTANT, JOHN CRAIG AT WATERSIDE SHOPS
What are your favorite pieces from the fall collections? Fall is all about texture and effortless sophistication. I love beautifully tailored sportcoats, soft cashmere knits and rich earth tones that transition seamlessly from day to evening. The craftsmanship and versatility of these pieces allow a gentleman to look polished while still feeling comfortable. What is the best part of your job? I enjoy building relationships and helping each gentleman discover his personal style and the confidence that comes with it. I’ve never viewed my role as simply making a sale. For me, it’s about creating an experience built on trust, understanding each client’s lifestyle and helping him select pieces that make him look and feel his very best. Watching someone standing a little taller and feeling more confident than when they arrived is the most rewarding part of what I do. Besides menswear, what else are you passionate about? Health and wellness have always been a major part of my life. I work out five to six days a week and am currently training for my fourth triathlon. The discipline and balance that come with fitness influence every aspect of my life, including the energy and focus I bring to my work. What is your favorite getaway for fall? Anywhere I can experience crisp air, vibrant fall colors and a cozy fireplace. I cherish every opportunity to enjoy changing leaves, wear boots and soft sweaters, and embrace everything that makes fall feel so special. Where do you take out-of-towners when they visit? Boca Grande’s downtown, beaches and island atmosphere never disappoint. A stroll through Old Naples is a must, with time spent exploring Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South. No visit is complete without an evening on the beach.
DILLON PATTILLO STORE MANAGER, CARTER & FINLEY
What are your favorite pieces from the fall collections? I am especially loving the Ralph Lauren Polo Bear sweater collection this season. It’s iconic, playful and a great way to add personality to a fall wardrobe. What is the best part of your job? The best part of my job is the people. I love helping clients build a wardrobe that fits their lifestyle, and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing them return and ask to work with you again. I’m equally passionate about my team. Watching people grow through coaching and leadership, then seeing them become successful in their own careers, is one of the most fulfilling parts of being a leader. Besides menswear, what else are you passionate about? I’m passionate about luxury skincare and fragrances. I appreciate the craftsmanship, attention to detail and the confidence that comes from the right finishing touches. What is your favorite getaway for fall? I haven’t had the chance to take a fall getaway yet, but New York City during the holiday season is at the top of my list. I’ve always heard it’s magical, and I’d love to experience the city dressed in its holiday best. Where do you take out-of-towners when they visit? I’m still fairly new to Naples, but I always enjoy showing visitors our beautiful beaches along with a few of my favorite restaurants. Mercato is another favorite destination. It’s a great place to spend an evening with excellent dining, shopping and a lively atmosphere.
