Let’s be honest, Father’s Day isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the month of June. It seems as though every year it sneaks up on us and every year, it is harder to shop for than the last. Photo-collage ties with an unflattering photo of yourself as a youth, gift certificates that will soon be filed away and forgotten, an artifact from the As Seen On TV aisle of your local drugstore. Dad deserves more. For the dad obsessed with skincare there is Aesop’s new Departure ensemble. For the dad all about practicality, Herno’s light-weight and water resistant jacket folds up into an easily transportable pouch. Let’s not forget the dad whose pants fall down when he reaches for the top shelf enter Paul Smith’s brown leather belt with contrast stitching. No matter the dad, there is a gift for them.
