Best of Boston

Spend two minutes inside Ball and Buck’s Newbury Street boutique and try to resist the urge to find the nearest Douglas fir and chop it down with your bare, brawny hands. Steeped in Americana and testosterone, the store offers all the tools needed to fine-tune your urban lumberjack aesthetic, from waxed canvas Dopp kits and camo bow ties right down to the wild-boar brush you’ll need to prep your handstitched Red Wing boots for inclement weather.
