When it comes to Father’s Day gifts, many dads fall into one of two categories: those who are moderately content with whatever they get (even if it’s a stale tie), and those who will pretend to be happy with their gift but won’t touch it again after it’s first opened. But what if we were to say there are Father’s Day gifts out there that will reliably move your dad into a third category this year: the dad who genuinely loves what he received and uses it time and time again.
Every week, the Cool Material team tests products, speaks with founders, and gets the inside scoop on what’s new from countless clothing brands, gear companies, distillers, and more. It’s safe to say we know a good Father’s Day gift when we see one.
Below, you’ll find 27 vetted Father’s Day gift ideas that will make any dad happy, whether he’s a golfer, coffee lover, or simply enjoys being the best styled guy in any room.
