Celebrating the release of the Summer Issue, Elite Traveler brings you the ultimate selection of luxury men’s accessories.
Into the Wild
If it’s an all-American getaway you’re after, gear up with pieces perfect for roaming the Wyoming wilderness or plains of Montana. Retire from your day outdoors with Michter’s bourbon, fire-charred in American oak barrels, or Pappy van Winkle’s buttery-yet-fruity whiskey — that is, if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on it.

Risky Business
Take a chance with eccentric prints, a serious statement-making bag that doubles as art or a mechanical novelty on your wrist. Add some artful additions to your home bar with Essential 1800’s Limited Edition Shantell Martin-designed tequila bottle, or a bottle of Clase Azul Mezcal Durango — its taste is as distinct as its artisan-made bottle.

World Wanderer
When you’re traveling to far-flung locales, look the part of a worldwide expeditionist. Capture your travels with a chic Leica camera, used by everyone from adventurers to fashion photographers; and prove you’re ahead of the curve with the new ‘it’ spirit, Japanese gin. Find a bottle of Watenshi (there are only six produced per year), or opt for sakura flower- and sencha tea-infused Roku gin.

The Modern Dandy
A dandy never neglects the details. Switch up classic colors and finishes for something more eye-catching, or top off a sophisticated look with a beaded diamond bracelet (or two). Mod Sélection Réserve, a new champagne from the rapper Drake, is an aromatic expression (think white fruit and earthy notes) and a fresh approach to the world of bubbly.
