Avoid the luggage carousel and wrinkles with this stylish carry-on. Ideal for the overnight business trip, it’s roomy enough for two suits and has an external zippered pocket that’s perfect for packing a pair of loafers and a shave kit. The supple chestnut leather honors Ghurka’s 30-plus years of fabric artistry, and the signature check-print lining adds subtle style points. $1,695; ghurka.com 2. BOSE QUIETCOMFORT 3 That constant 80-decibel drone you hear on a plane is a big part of jet lag. Thanks to engineers at Bose, you no longer have to worry about it. Featuring high-tech cushions that create an airtight seal around your ears, these noise-canceling headphones allow for low-volume listening. And 20 hours of battery life lasts longer than a flight from Chicago to Hong Kong. $350; bose.com 3. BLACKBERRY BOLD With airlines scrambling to provide free Wi-Fi, BlackBerry’s late-’08 addition is practically an insurance policy for in-flight productivity. This 3G model lets you stream traffic updates for your destination via GPS and simultaneously edit Word documents, all while listening to Mozart. Not that you want to multitask that much. But, hey, it’s nice to know that you can. $300; blackberry.com 4. SONY VAIO TT All work and no play makes anyone dull. This lightweight (less than three pounds!) laptop is a heavy hitter in both worlds, boasting Blu-ray capability with nearly four hours of playback on its 11-inch screen—making it a cinch for an in-flight movie. From $2,000; sonystyle.com 5. SALVATORE FERRAGAMO REVIVAL No man wants his messenger bag or satchel confused with a purse. This handcrafted Italian brief is all homme with its chiseled lines and slender profile. The silver-tone combination lock anchors the design, and a detachable shoulder strap adds a dimension of mobility. $1,800; ferragamo.com 6. BR-S GOLD Developed for pilots, astronauts, and even bomb technicians, Bell & Ross watches are made to handle all manner of pressure. Defuse any boardroom situation with this handsome offering, featuring Swiss movement encased in 18-kt pink gold and an alligator strap. $10,900; bellross.com Comments (0)
