MATERIAL PURSUITS

ODE TO JFK

John F. Kennedy was the epitome of all-American style and a big part of his swagger was in the Saratoga sunglasses he sported from the Cape to Washington, D.C. These lightweight tortoise shell frames with green lenses are an American Optical (AO) classic that never goes out of style. This Chicago-area company has been “helping people see the world” since 1833, before the invention of the car, the radio, or even electricity. Famously worn by the late President (in size 52-19-145 mm, to be exact), the sunglasses are crafted in the U.S. with globally sourced acetate and feature German seven-barrel hinges, an oleophobic coating that keeps the smudges under control, and OLite non-polarized Calobar™ green lenses to reduce glare. With summer just around the corner, there’s never been a better time to rock this iconic look. Available for $205 at aoeyewear.com.

ONE FOR THE ROAD

Ready to head to the beach for an old-fashioned American picnic? The Weber Smokey Joe series portable grill is made for such occasions with a durable, lightweight, compact design. Whether it’s tailgating or a road trip, this miniature version of the classic Kettle model is meant for grilling on the go. With a porcelain-enameled lid and bow to retain heat, it won’t rust or peel. Its signature Tuck-N-Carry™ lid lock doubles as a lid holder to avoid placing the lid on the ground and the dampers allow you to keep the temperature under control. Large enough to hold up to five burgers made with a Weber burger press, this premium grill is available in several colors, including spring green, slate blue, ivory, crimson, smoke, and classic black. Available for $67 at weber.com.

HUMIDOR TO GO

With Father’s Day quickly approaching, this travel cigar humidor checks all the boxes for the stogie-lovers in your life. The neophytes among us likely don’t know that cigars require between 62 percent and 72 percent humidity to retain their flavor and quality. There is a lid-mounted hygrometer on this mini humidor that allows you to check out the conditions inside at a glance. Holding between three to give cigars (depending on size), it retains a James Bond vibe with a silver checkered design that contrasts with a black base. Available for $75 at uncrate.com.
