Maybe it’s because we’ve been watching too many Great Gatsby teaser trailers as of late, but the other night, we had a dream. It was something like Midwest meets West Egg— partywear meets workwear, Manhattans in Mason jars. It was just a dream, we thought. But then we came across this clever button down by Amsterdam clothiers Scotch & Soda, and we fell in love. With the rolled-up sleeves held in place by those handy tabs, it’s casual enough that you won’t mind getting your hands dirty. But the contrasting pocket square brings a pop of sophistication to what is otherwise a basic wear-everywhere lightweight cotton shirt. To put it simply, it’s the perfect marriage of two worlds. Get it here.

Right now, if you’re anything like us, your mind is millions of miles away from the concept of “Black Friday”. Maybe instead your thoughts are consumed by turkey temperatures, directions to grandmother’s house, or where the heck all of your relatives are going to sit once they arrive. Worry not. We at RYE & RIVET have done all the legwork for you in the second installment of our yearly small business post-Thanksgiving shopping guide, so you can go back to focusing on what’s really important, like whose turn it is to bring the Bourbon. Oh, and, of course, what you’re thankful for.

Sometimes, the holidays seem to be more about getting than giving. For some, it is unclear whether there ever was a time in which crazed, fitful holiday shopping did not begin the moment after the Thanksgiving table was cleared. Most of us don’t remember a time in which department store Christmas trees failed to appear side-by-side with Halloween candy, a time in which “Sale Starts At Midnight!” wasn’t emblazoned across every mail circular. But one must wonder, occasionally, whether folks would need to shop so frantically every winter if they simply paused to devote a bit more care to what they were buying. And so, RYE & RIVET presents: our lineup of Black Friday sales from small businesses. These sales won’t force you to wake up at 3 a.m., won’t make you mow down a family of four with your shopping cart, won’t threaten your dignity by asking you to scramble wildly after the last “Tickle Me Elmo.” While you may not be able to do all of your holiday shopping at these sites, they’ll certainly put you in a nicer frame of mind for when it comes time to select a gift for Crazy Aunt Zelda. And remember: you’re supporting small businesses, good quality, and the tradition of craftsmanship. What could be better for the season of giving?
