Chatwin Outdoor Chair
Just because you’re setting up a tailgate doesn’t mean the spread has to look like something out of Animal House. This year, skip the beach chairs and invest in a few pieces from Richard Wrightman’s line of campaign-style outdoor furniture. These chairs are covered in weather-resistant fabric that’ll look great game after game, and they fold up pancake flat for easy storage. Best of all, Wrightman’s designs are custom, so you can design one that shows off your true colors (Roll Tide crimson shown). richardwrightman.com

Big Chill
Who knew a cooler could be stylish? Ice down the beer and perishables in this roomy Jon Hart Design 17.5-quart ice chest with coated, waterproof canvas casing and leather trim. jonhartdesign.com
