Top 10 Best Father’s Day Gifts For The Dapper Dad

1. Dress Shoes

Ethically crafted in a Colombian workshop in Bogotá, Beckett Simonon shoes are made using only Italian gold-standard leather. They feature a high-quality Blake construction, which breaks in quickly and offers a slim shoe profile.

At only $170 when using our “BU20” discount code, Beckett Simonon offers value that’s almost impossible to beat. As they’re made using a group made-to-order system, you’ll just need to wait a few weeks for the shoes to be made for you. However, they’re well worth it given the quality and price!

2. Pre-Owned Watch

Nothing says that you love your father more than a mechanical watch. While the idea of a pre-owned watch doesn’t sound quite as exciting as “brand new”, bear in mind that some of the most desired models are best found on the secondhand market.

Not only can you find some excellent prices but you can also find rarer and more unique timepieces. Thanks to eBay’s new authentication program, buying preowned watches have become much safer and you’ll easily be able to find a high-quality and authentic watch.

3. Performance Shirts

A brand-new crisp shirt is the classic low-risk Father’s Day gift. If your father likes to look good, rest assured that he’ll never have enough in his wardrobe!

Although there are plenty of traditional shirt brands, Twillory recently caught our eye. The brand specializes in non-iron shirts and combines craftsmanship with the latest fabric technology. However, you can discover other ideas via our guide to the best dress shirts to buy online.

4. Made-To-Measure Suit

A made-to-measure suit is a wonderfully affectionate and generous gift for your father. However, you may struggle to get him measured without him noticing! Rather than spoil the surprise, you could get him a gift card, print it out, and put it in an envelope.

Alternatively, Indochino has both physical stores and an online platform. Consider booking an appointment for him and going together. You can then pay for him at the end. Add a personal touch with a monogrammed message in the jacket, too. Our “BESPOKEUNIT” 10% discount works both on the website and in the stores.

5. Fragrances

A lot of dads may say that they’re not into cologne. However, buy him a fragrance and see how he starts to wear it every day! Don’t feel that you have to choose a new release. Indeed, there are many fantastic classic fragrances out there. Perhaps something he wore growing up?

We have lots of reviews on Bespoke Unit and you’ll likely find something that reflects his personality as a man. When shopping online, we suggest FragranceX, which offers the best prices and a broad selection of fragrances.

6. Alcoholic Spirits

Another generally safe choice is a bottle of fine liquor for Father’s Day. However, don’t feel that you have to play it safe! Take a look at your dad’s cabinet (this time without taking anything for a house party) and check the sort of thing he likes to drink if you don’t know already.

You can then use his tastes as a frame of reference while finding something original for him to try. For instance, if he really likes cognac, why don’t you buy him an Armagnac? As for our favourite retailer, we highly recommend Reserve Bar.

7. US-Made Socks

Socks are often regarded as a cliché lazy gift that you buy for the man who has everything. However, not all socks are equal! Boardroom Socks is a US-based family-owned mill that produces beautiful merino wool socks.

Its elegant socks are made from refined fabrics with both over-the-calf and ankle-height choices. If you pick up a gift set, they offer excellent value and exceptional quality.

8. Ties & Accessories

Whether you’re on a budget or what to give him an assortment of things, The Tie Bar is a one-stop shop for all things dapper. As the name suggests, it specialises in accessories. You can choose between ties, pocket squares, cufflinks, and much more.

The Tie Bar also offers bundles and deals so you can buy him a set of matching accessories for Father’s Day. If you’re short of inspiration and can’t think of anything that would suit his taste, it’s a safe play.

9. Cigar Accessories

Does your father enjoy the occasional fine cigar? Is he perhaps a confirmed cigar enthusiast? If so, anything cigar related is a slam dunk! Even gifts like cutters and lighters can either be quite affordable or lavish and luxurious treats.

If he loves cigars but you aren’t quite sure what to get, you can check out our own cigar resources. Otherwise, leave a comment below and we’ll be happy to advise you. Meanwhile, if he’s a beginner, consider buying him a humidor. We have a whole series of humidor guides with many top 10 guides that can help you choose the right one.

Alternatively, you could always just buy him some cigars for Father’s Day. On a similar not, why not be adventurous and look into tobacco pipes?

10. Straight Razor

Traditionally, a father teaches his son how to shave. Yet, most men use electric shavers and cartridge razors these days. Nevertheless, he may have wanted to try out traditional shaving and mentioned this in the past.

You could always opt for a double-edged safety razor. The learning curve is easier and it’ll be both great for his skin and the environment. Meanwhile, you could be a little more daring and choose a straight razor for him. Otherwise, consider accessories like shaving soap and brushes.
