Kiton Carracci Cashmere
Vicuna Sport Coat

Kiton Carracci Cashmere/Vicuna Sport Coat

Il meglio del meglio più uno. It means "the best of the best plus one," and it's the slogan of Italian clothing company Kiton. If you're about to drop $9,950 on a sport coat, it really ought to be pretty darn good, no? This is. If you'd think it's cashmere that makes this bad boy so pricey, you'd be wrong: It's the vicuna wool. A vicuna is a wild camelid native to South America; it's to an alpaca what a caribou is to a reindeer, and its wool sells for up to $3,000 a yard. If you'd like a pure vicuna jacket — undiluted by nasty old cashmere — the good people at Kiton are happy to hook you up with one of those too. It'll run you $21,000, though. axelsltd.com

Seven Dreamers Caddie Bag

Seven Dreamers Caddie Bag

When you consider that upstart Japanese golf company Seven Dreamers will happily sell you a single golf club for $120,000 (the shaft is made of gold), the fact that they also make a caddie bag worth $8,500 + tax seems almost a bargain. They build the bag with space-grade carbon fiber typically used in satellites, employing a spine structure called T-System that can withstand a powerful impact. (If you have their expensive clubs, you'll want that.) The whole thing is wrapped up in beautiful black leather. If Darth Vader were a fan of the links, this is the bag he'd be using. sevendreamers.com

Chivas Regal Royal Salute

Chivas Regal Royal Salute

Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953. In 2003, in honor of Liz being on the throne for half a century, Chivas Regal decided to bottle some of the scotch that had been quietly aging for the whole of that time. The result was 255 bottles of Chivas Regal Royal Salute. Incidentally, the most expensive bottle of scotch ever sold must make this stuff seem like mouthwash. In January of 2014, a single bottle of Macallan "M" from 1940 sold at a Hong Kong auction for a jaw-dropping $631,850. $200 at shopbanquet.com
