Montana is not exactly the suit-and-tie kind of place, but this does not mean that the gentleman who might get to call this gorgeous and rustic place home gets to skimp out on accessorizing quite luxuriously. The only difference is a Montana man who lives in, say, Bozeman has to pick luxurious stuff that not only makes him feel good but also works for the place he calls home and does not stick out like a sore thumb. Here are a couple of quality, functional, and good-looking accessories that any self-respecting, rugged, outdoorsy man can take with him from the mountains to a night out at the pub with the boys!

Luxury Hiking Boots
The foundation of any gentleman’s outfit are his shoes. A great-looking pair of hiking boots is a must – considering the number of beautiful hikes in and around Bozeman, as well as the lifestyle that comes with living here. You’ll want to find something that is part style, part durability, and part comfort. Brands like Danner have some excellent-looking boots that are both rugged and refined. If you are going out for a long day hike or for a cross-country expedition, a great pair of hiking boots will keep you comfortable and looking great!

Stylish Outdoor Watch
Nothing says rugged like a field watch, and not just any field watch – go for a Breitling or Hamilton watch to really get that perfect combination of style and function. These watch brands, specifically the Breitling watches, are built with the outdoorsy man in mind. They are built to go toe to toe with Mother Nature and win while having the kind of durability that can make them last years and be the sort of thing that can be passed on as an heirloom. They can be plunged into the water and survive – so you’ll be covered for any outing in or out of water. However, not every model is built like that, so you may have to look into any model you choose closely before settling on a timepiece –  find breitling watches here and pick one that tickles your fancy. Whether you’re crossing a stream or grabbing a beer downtown, this watch will help you look presentable!

Quality Sunglasses
When you are going hiking through the mountains or hanging out by the river, a great pair of shades is a must. Make sure your shades have polarized lenses to protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce glare. Ray Ban and Maui Jim (which you can find at Jomashop) offer some great-looking polarized lenses that will be both stylish and functional to fit your needs. So long as you find a frame shape that fits your face and style, staying stylish is easy!

Functional Backpack
Every outdoorsy Bozeman guy needs a go-to backpack that’s up for anything. Opt for a style that’s both handsome and practical — e.g., a classic model from Patagonia or Fjällräven. A backpack with a hydration reservoir, convenient pockets – and padded straps for comfort will keep you ready for the trail. With the right design, you can communicate to the world that you are the kind of man who is ready for anything!

Chic Dog Tags or Pendant Jewelry
One of the easiest ways to make a subtle statement is through a piece of stand-out jewelry. Men’s dog tag necklaces or chic and manly pendants add instant personality. Go big with a custom pendant bearing a map of a beloved hiking spot or the latitude and longitude coordinates of a treasured mountain peak. Personalized engravings can carry your unique message with you on every trek and turn heads with every wear. 

Luxury Outdoor Fragrance
Every modern adventurer needs a signature scent that speaks to his outdoor, rugged yet polished style. You’ll want to pick a cologne with notes of fresh earth-born woods, and a touch of cedar or citrus. Contemporary brands like Montblanc are re-imagining classic scents that will make sure you smell fresh after a day outdoors. So go ahead boys – just exude confidence and be a Bozeman guy who smells good and find a cologne that tugs on your wild roots.

Timeless Leather Wallet
Last but not least is the underdog of manly fashion: your wallet. Invest in a 100% full-grain leather wallet that matches your personality. It goes where you go, and it takes the same beating you do (well, at least we hope it does). You want one that has RFID-blocking material to stop thieves scavenging your cards, and a slim profile so you can access your bevy of cards. Leather wallets are the kind of thing that age handsomely with use and time and will be the perfect companion for everyday life!

The Perfect Accessories For The Montana Outdoor Man!
Haven’t you heard? Rugged is the new fashion – especially if you add these stylish yet still manly and functional pieces to your arsenal. From epic watches like the Hamilton ones (find Hamilton watches here) to a nice leather wallet there is quite a lot to choose from. And just like that you are stylish without losing that rugged Bozeman charm!
