Manly Gifts Your Dad Wants

Dads aren’t usually very picky about Father’s Day presents — if you get them something, anything — even if it’s a World’s Greatest Dad mug or tie — they’re typically simply tickled pink that someone remembered them at all.

Those low expectations are going work to your advantage this year — because this year, you’re not only going to remember to get your Pops something for Father’s Day, you’re going to come through with something truly fun, useful, and/or unique. For those looking to not only meet but exceed dear old dad’s expectations, we present the following selection of gift ideas:

For the Up-For Anything Dad. Khakis are versatile: they can be worn for nearly every occasion and paired with everything from a t-shirt to a button-down shirt and tie. And khakis are comfortable: way cooler, softer, and more flexible than jeans — especially when they’re ones like these with built-in stretch. Give dad pants he can both move in, and look good in, whether he’s going to the office, or exploring the town Filson 70256 Original ... Buy New $245.00 (as of 07:55 UTC - Details)

For the Gentleman Gardener. Hori-Hori Gardening Tool. You didn’t even know you needed the Swiss Army Knife of gardening tools until you saw this bad boy. Whether you’re digging, trenching, planting, cutting, weeding, or even opening some bottles, the Hori Hori can do it all. It features both a straight edge and a serrated blade, hash marks for measuring depth and length, a twine cutter, a bottle opener…need we say more? The bamboo handle ensures comfort while using it and the stainless steel blade prevents quick wearing and rusting that you find with most cheap gardening tools.

For the Pool-Goer. Mohinder’s City Slipper. Handmade in rural India, these leather and rubber slippers — called such because they slip on, not because they’re made for padding around indoors — are both durable and flexible. The woven water buffalo leather provides a stylish and unique look that isn’t found elsewhere, and the natural crepe rubber sole provides comfort all the day long.

For the EDC Aficionado. James Brand County Knife. For a slim knife that truly fits in dad’s pocket, you can’t get better than James Brand. Simple and to the point, you won’t find any bells and whistles here; just a single straight knife blade made from the finest steel around. It’s balanced combo of hardness, toughness, sharpness, and corrosion resistance means it will stay in your pocket for years and years. As a bonus, the wood grain handle adds some style points.

Bonsai Tree Tool Hori ... Check Amazon for Pricing. For the Sports Fan/Amateur Athlete. Old Glory Bat. Father’s Day falls in mid-June, placing it squarely in the heart of baseball season. Even those dads who don’t regularly follow the sport can appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry that goes into the maple wood bats (that’s the same wood the pros use, by the way) made by Pillbox. The patriotic motif of the Old Glory model would look equally good on the wall of a den or at the next company softball game.

For the Fighter. John Woodbridge & Sons Boxing Gloves. These gloves probably won’t be worn in the ring anytime soon, but they provide a great homage to the mighty boxing battles of yore, and when hung above a fireplace, can remind any dad that you’ve got to fight for everything in this world and that every man needs a challenge. These leather mitts are handmade, and the manually-applied patina makes them look like they came straight out of a time machine from the 1920s.
