Hooded Tartan

So fellas, you may be wondering why I helped the ladies out with a gift idea for their man but left you hanging. Truth be told, I was only keeping you in suspense. And now... drum roll please. We have the first holiday gift idea brought to you by the style experts here at Rakish Dishevelment: the wool plaid hooded cardigan by Ralph Lauren Rugby. The instant I saw this item I immediately fell in love with it. It could be the fact that it has a similar look to the cocoon jacket shown as part of the last look in the Ralph Lauren Fall 2010 show, or just the fact that it comes in two amazing plaid options. The $198 price point shouldn't sway you, as all RL brands tend to be driven by promotions. If this is something you are "sale stalking," try shopping online early Black Friday morning.

Final Verdict: I included the pic from the Fall 2010 show to give you a point of reference. If you need a little bit more nudging, consider that the Rugby version is 1/10th the price.
