Isn't it amazing that dad has a son who's a passionate connoisseur of menswear? Let's be honest, the majority of gifts out there, especially when it comes to clothing and accessories, tend to be underwhelming.
Whiskey rocks, really? Are they even practical or have people actually found them useful?
And those poly-blend shirts from Alfani, well, let's just say they don't exactly leave a lasting impression.
Meat and beer delivery boxes, seriously? Can we get any less imaginative?
If you're looking for a remarkable selection of practical and exquisitely crafted gifts for dad, you need not search any further than this list. But let's not forget that time is the most precious gift of all, so make sure to dedicate a significant portion of it to the one and only dad you have in this lifetime.
1. Something leather from Capra - from $85
Capra is quickly becoming a favorite of many Styleforum readers thanks to their exceptional craftsmanship and remarkable value for money. For Father's Day, they are throwing in a free wallet with each order, and you can buy a special card with a personalised photo of you and dad so you don't have to run to Target to grab one last minute.
2. Finx Cotton and Belgian Linen Shorts via Canoe Club - $365 (15% off with code STYLEFORUM15)
For those Sunday BBQs, give dad the gift of comfort (and possibly sunburn) with these shorts by Auralee; they are meticulously crafted with a dense weave using a combination of premium finx cotton and Belgian linen. They make for a perfect summer staple and they're guaranteed to avoid being forgotten and hidden away in the depths of the closet.
3. Footwear from Viberg - $200-$1600
Not everyone has a badass father who can pull off military officer-style footwear, but if your dad happens to be that type, why not make his day by gifting him these exceptional boots?
4. Birkenstocks - $158
Maybe dad is more of a couch-potato and he's been lounging in his Crocs since Day 1 of retirement. In that case, indulge his laid-back lifestyle and gift him the ever-popular Boston Birkenstocks, which at least don't look like he's wearing overblown M&M's at his feet.
5. A tie from Vanda Fine Clothing - from $126 SGD
You know what would look great with Birkenstocks? Okay, scratch that. Just take a look at these new neckties from Vanda Fine Clothing and tell me if they aren't something every man should be proud to wear at least once in their lifetime. A tie might no get a ton of wear these days, but as the ultimate accessory to wear on "occasions", it would be nice for dad to wear it as reminder of filial love at times of celebration.
6. A set of garment bags from Kirby Allison - $95
If you've been spoiling your dad with thoughtful gifts and his closet is already brimming with stylish attire that you've carefully chosen over the years, there's one item that's nearly certainly missing from his collection: garment bags to protect those cherished clothes. This year presents the perfect opportunity to add the finishing touch to your previous splurges and ensure his wardrobe is complete with the necessary garment protection.
7. Sneakers from Wrong Weather - $78-$2042
We hear "dad sneakers" are in, so what better place to look than Wrong Weather, where you'll find a selection of both OTT and understated sneakers guaranteed to satisfy every palate.
8. A summer leather jacket from Self Edge - from $950
This raises an intriguing question about the ethics of giving your dad an heirloom piece, considering that you are the designated heir to that item. Let us know how your heart feels about it.
9. A hat from No Man Walks Alone - from $75 (Use code SF10 for 10% off)
There's no shortage of captivating options across every category at NMWA, but we think the current collection of hats deserves special recognition. This season's hat selection is truly remarkable, offering a diverse array of styles including cotton-paper baseball caps, rollable paper hats, foldable fedoras, and even seersucker bucket hats.
10. The new Epaulet x Styleforum sashiko blanket - $145
At last, a gift that will not only please mom but also receive the full approval of the family dog. In fact, why not buy it in a set of three as to avoid any squabbles over who gets to enjoy this luxurious and meticulously crafted Made in USA masterpiece?
