The MOST Beautiful iPad Case On Earth
LEATHER IPAD SMART COVER AND CASE BY J.W. HULME
Leather and metal. There is no a bolder design pairing as this iPad Smart Cover demonstrates. It certainly helps that it is crafted in the U.S.A. by J.W. Hulme, a fellow Midwestern company that has been around even longer than Allen Edmonds. Because it is specifically designed to fit both the second generation and new third generation iPads, the combination of the American heritage full-grain leather sleeve and high-end durable brown nylon tightly wraps the tablet for its protection. In terms of usability, access to all the ports, controls, and camera is made easy thanks to the thoughtful cut-out design and the magnetic fixtures that allow it to be mounted to a metal surface. The folding cover means the case adapts to how you employ it, whether you are reading, viewing video, or playing a game. Available in five colors to fit your style and personality, the Smart Cover protects your image as well as your tablet.

DALTON - WINGTIP LACE-UP OXFORD MEN'S DRESS BOOTS BY ALLEN EDMONDS
When we asked Jim Dayton, an award-winning architect and protégé of Frank Gehry, to design our new retail store prototype, we never planned for him to create a shoe for us. But, by using authentic materials in his store design like Wisconsin red birch and touches of the cork that cushions our shoes, he did such a great job capturing our company's personality that we asked him to bring the same aesthetic sensibilities to a pair of shoes. And we're sure glad we did. In creating this seven-eyelet blucher boot, Dayton used his architect's sharp-eye to perfectly balance the silhouette of the rounded, full toe with the extended calf-high upper. Similarly, the orange leather lining, toe medallion and perforations on the back-stay and wingtip combine to accentuate the boot's heartier features, like the Butyl leather sole, and create a blueprint for both elegance and strength. Tucked under blue jeans or a blue suit, they present a stylish profile while providing the type of ankle stability and support not usually found in a dress shoe. A truly original boot made by a one-of-a-kind artisan, the Dalton is the perfect foundation on which to build a great outfit.

PATRIOT - SLIP-ON LOAFER WITH HAND STITCH VAMP MEN'S DRESS SHOES BY ALLEN EDMONDS
Is there anything more all-American than the penny loafer? How about one made right here in the U.S.A.? We didn't think so. That's why we named this new model the Patriot. A faithful interpretation of this timeless design, the Patriot honors our legacy of craftsmanship and classic American style like no other shoe on the market. Of course, there is always a little room for improvement, which is why we designed a brand new last - the 606 - especially for these shoes. Roomier in the forefoot but also featuring our trademark narrow heel (perfect for those who forgo socks), this last has helped us create our best fitting penny loafer ever. As if that's not enough, the Patriot is also featured in Genuine Horween? Shell Cordovan leather with an exclusive black, burgundy, and brown finish burnished to rich perfection. The consummate country club shoe, the Patriot is sure to become our next American classic.

Hammacher-Schlemmer- For 164 years, offering ONLY the best items.
One of our favorite guilty pleasures! A catalog is never far away in our houses!
The Agents LOVE their coffee and are very finicky about their brew.
NOTHING beats this coffee maker. It does it ALL. INCLUDING grinding the beans for the freshest coffee you can make.
Set it and night and wakeup to heaven in the morning.
This is the only grind-and-brew coffee maker that automatically brews one to 12 cups with the flavor profile and intensity you choose. Simply select the number of cups, choose from the five flavor profiles (light to bold), and select one of the 7 coffee strengths; the machine automatically grinds the perfect amount of coffee and dispenses the proper amount of water to brew coffee to the chosen specifications. The unit eliminates the guesswork of combining the correct proportions of coffee and water and brews directly into a cup, a travel mug up to 7 1/2" H, or the included double-walled stainless steel thermal carafe. The integrated burr grinder produces an even grind to help ensure optimal flavor extraction and grinds the beans just before brewing to maximize freshness. The coffee maker is programmable up to 24 hours in advance to ensure coffee is ready when you wake up. Includes a reusable filter. Also brews pre-ground coffee. 16 1/4" H x 14" W x 9" D. (17 3/4 lbs.)
