Sophistication.

Is it born or learned? The real trick is maintaining it.

The to-do list is long— always remain calm, always use good manners, sit up straight, sharpen your vocabulary, use the right fork, perfect your iambic pentameter.

Or…

Take this leather duffel with you wherever you go.

It relieves you of obligation by simply speaking on your behalf. All you have to do is nod, smile, and not mess things up. You’ll even manage to add the element of refined ruggedness to your repertoire at the airport’s premium member lounge, the lobby of the Bowery, the poker game on Rivington, you father-in-law’s cabin in Aimes, and the corporate retreat in Missoula.

Shh. Trust me.
