Why it works

The blade is bright polished gold with black tiger striping, and the gloves are deep brown leather. Gold against brown is a warm, closed palette that reads as one material family rather than two colors.

What it costs

With Nomad Knife | Tiger Tooth in Factory New and Specialist Gloves | Chocolate Chesterfield in Well-Worn, the set comes to $260. Nomad Knife | Tiger Tooth is 70% of that, so it is the piece to budget around.
