The North Face Origins 86 Jacket
Like the breath of a cold January wind, The North Face has breathed new life into its offerings over the past few years with fun collaborations— and by bringing back classic designs.

Here's your permission slip to get your main guy something he can wear all year round.
A Father's Day Gift For the Boyfriend
John Elliot Hemi Flannel
Yet another shirt that will give Dad that stylish-but-not-tryna-be-stylish look that everybody digs.

Another Father's Day Gift for Upping His Coffee Game Dad
Stagg EKG Electric Kettle
Also for the dad looking to upgrade his coffee game.

Great for the entrepreneurial, writer, or creative dad, or anybody else, for that matter.
A Father's Day Book For The Fantasy-Loving Dad
The Sandman Book 1 by Neil Gaiman
If your fantasy-loving dad hasn't met the Sandman yet, introduce him! This soon-to-be Netflixed series spawned one of the best sibling pairings in graphic novel history— the Titular Dream a.k.a The Sandman and his sister, Death. This book (or the outstanding Audible series featuring James McAvoy as Dream and Kat Dennings as Death) is a great intro to this dark, moody classic series. It ain't Star Wars or Marvel, but maybe it's time dad upgraded his taste to "adult." Get the drop on the Sandman before all the normies catch it on Netflix.
