Those of us who sew know the fun of making something special for the Dapper Dan in your life, especially when it's crafted from real-deal designer deadstock that lets him double down on bragging rights.

So I'm delighted to offer a deal on two classic deadstock fabrics from one of the cornerstones of couture—Hugo Boss. Word Play is an impeccable Italian-milled cotton double-knit featuring a refined design, just right for a haute hoodie for him. Inky Lagoon is a yarn-dyed Italian-milled 100% wool plaid ideal for an up-market coat, jacket, or vest he’ll be proud to don.
