What to get an extroverted adventurer

Pentax 17 camera, £499.99
New analog cameras aren’t made very often, but Pentax seems to be doing it again. The reassuringly clunky Pentax 67 is my favorite camera for work, but this half-frame point-and-shoot is a brilliant little thing for capturing candid encounters on the road. pentax.eu

Stetson Shasta 10X Premier Cowboy Hat, $550
I think you can never have too many hats, and the caramel color of this one is gorgeous. Also: everyone should own a Stetson. stetson.com

Cat Posh Beach LEJ Cotton Coat, £345
I’m always looking for jackets that are comfortable, stylish, versatile and can be roughly placed in an overhead compartment or accidentally slept on. That’s exactly it. lej.london

Brown Bally Leather Guard Snow Boots, £490
I tend to wear cowboy boots in the winter, but they are absolutely terrible in the snow. These are the perfect alternative. bally.co.uk

Yeti Rambler Cocktail Shaker, £60
There’s nothing like a well-executed Martini at 3,000m. fr.yeti.com

P Johnson Avedon Dark Havana Sunglasses, $430
P Johnson’s glasses are beautifully curated. This pair, based on the iconic glasses worn by Richard Avedon, may well impart some of the seminal photographer’s famous panache, although looking like Avedon and seeing like Avedon are unfortunately two different things. pjt.com

Harpo silver and turquoise bracelet BR833, €1,380
When I was extremely broke and living in Paris in my twenties, I would pass by this store and ogle all the treasures in their cabinets. I’m not a big jewelry person, but I would wear one every day. harpo-paris.com

Pierre Barbe£125
A complete visionary, eccentric and wanderer. There’s always so much to learn when flipping through Peter Beard’s incredibly inspiring multimedia work. taschen.com

Campbell’s of Beauly lambswool tartan blanket in Stewart antique dress, £150
David Coggins and I passed by this beautiful Highland haberdashery while filming our latest travel story in Scotland for HTSI and I could have left with a full car. Her locally woven tartan blankets are my favorite way to “winter warm” my home in December. campbellsofbeauly.com

K9 Sport Sack Air 2 Dog Carrier, £67
Many of my best afternoons were spent riding bikes with Nacho, my cocker spaniel, strapped boldly to my back in one of these things. k9sportsack.com

Bamboo Snow Peak Take! chair, £240
Elegant design. Surprisingly comfortable. But what would you expect from Snow Peak? I always have two in the back of the car. The long version is better. www.snowpeak.com

Aero Leathers USAAF Type B-3 Jacket, £1,200
Originally designed for US Air Force bomber pilots of World War II and recently featured in Airbenders. Now probably the ultimate jacket for walking your dog in the middle of winter. aeroleatherclothing.com

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Medium Duo Petite Seconde stainless steel watch, £12,000
For me, a watch should be small, elegant and sturdy. This one was originally designed for polo players and represents all of that. The second face could be either profoundly helpful or hopelessly confusing when jumping between time zones. jaeger-lecoultre.com

Byredo Sunday Cologne, £220 for 100ml EDP
This is my favorite scent for everything. It’s fresh, it’s clean, it’s citrusy, it’s masculine. I’ve been trying to find something I like more for almost a decade and I can’t. byredo.com

Hermès Ulysse MM notebook, £380
This perfect notebook makes the boredom of writing lists a treat. hermes.com

Haulier International Large Canvas Utility Tote, £405
Since the brand’s inception, I’ve been a huge fan of Jeremy Hershan’s travel and Australian inspired collections. Its tote bags are that rare confluence of the beautiful, the useful, the exciting and the simple. carrier.international

Hi-Chew Grape Chews, £1.70
I became slightly addicted to it in Tokyo recently. Just the best confectionery in the world. If someone brought these to my house instead of a bottle of wine, I would be delighted. Future guests, please take note. heysweetieshop.co.uk

Moke EV in orange, £35,995
I’ve always loved beach strollers and it was a toss up between this one and the Citroën Méhari, but the fact that it’s new, electric and doesn’t break down while going to get a baguette gives him an advantage. The ideal run-around in summer. mokeinternational.com
