Gift Guide for Non Musical Men Under $100 (And Sober)

De-Fi is a company that makes products for studio creatures, so it may be off brand for us to venture into the realm of non-musical men. However, we've noticed that most gift guides for men seem to assume they're all lushes who only enjoy goods made from flannel and leather that aid in concocting an Old Fashioned. What about men that are into flannel and leather, but not the booze? We've decided to take a break from our studio gift guides to fill that void.
