For the fashion forward dads
For those fathers who love to let their style do all of the talking, these are the pieces we recommend you grab him.
Alex Crane Suit: Blazer – Bone
Summertime is here and that usually means sweltering heat. If Dad has to wear suits or loves to dress up on the occasion, you don’t want heavier weight materials for your suit. This linen set from Alex Crane is the best bet to beat the heat.

Meridian Swimwear flips that script with their “Meridian” trunk — 60s retro inspired silhouette is more form fitting. These trunks come with an elastic back waistband for added comfort while having a clean snap front closure and zipper fly.

Buck Mason Interloop Sweatpants – Heather Gray
Too many brands make sweatpants with cheap materials and are never great at getting the cut just right. The interloop sweatpants from Buck Mason takes an iconic piece and breathes life into them. Taking the inspiration from the Marine Corps standard issue sweats, this pair features yarn-dyed 350 GSM three-end brushed back cotton French terry that is sewn on the cross-grain to reduce the shrinkage.

Gifts for the guys who are gear junkies
If Dad loves having the best everyday products, from EDC (everyday carry items) to upgrading gear around the house, keep reading.
