Onitsuka Tiger Shoes
The iconic sports shoe is something your dad likely wore in high school and this classic Japanese brand is still a great shoe for every day and comes in a variety of colors. We have been wearing the slip-on versions around the office and think they are the perfect casual shoe for summer.
Starting at $90

The Perfect Henley
The Steggy Henley arrived at the office and it was a fight for the guys who could wear a large to take it home for a long-term test. The report is back and even after several washes this is really the perfect henley, comfortable, great fit, and it feels amazing to wear.

Head High 2020 Sonoma County Pinot Noir
For the wine lover, this is one of our favorite bottles under $30 and an underappreciated California wine. This Pinot Noir presents a delightful blend of aromatic, warming spices, earthy notes reminiscent of wood, and the sweet essence of kirsch. It offers a tangy sensation on the palate accompanied by flavors of red plum, incense, and cola. These vibrant wines result from unique growing conditions: heavy fog and strong winds, which are balanced by warm afternoon sunshine. As a result, the wines showcase a forward fruit character and a bright, lively profile.

Robert August Custom Golf Shoes
We are working on a full write-up on the custom ordering process, but it was an amazing experience, for the golf lover you can completely customize the gold shoes from the cleats up. Select colors, materials, and even customize the inside.
SoNo 1420 Blaze Whisky
While aren't a fan of the Fireball crowd, 1420 has created a great cinnamon-flavored whiskey that is perfect for craft cocktails that you want a little more spice in. It's good on its own but Lucas made a version of an Old Fashioned that everyone really liked.

Tudor Ranger
While we would all love a Rolex Explorer, the Tudor Ranger packs a similar punch and has its own amazing history in the world of exploration. We love it on the NATO strap, but it also looks amazing on the steel bracelet.
Raen Clyve Sunglasses
We had never heard of Raen until these showed up at the office, we loved them from the moment they came out of the box. Classic Tortoise frames are timeless, but we also loved the Absinthy blue.
Proper Cocktails
Making Dad the perfect cocktail can be hard, we have been loving these pre-made cocktails in a can from Tip Top. They are super fun and taste great, just open the can and pour it over your favorite rock, garnish, and enjoy.
This has been way more fun than any of us thought it would be, while it has been used for a few commutes, the real place it shines is as a pit bike at the track, be it running around COTA or using it to cover vintage races for the site, this bike has been fast, smooth, and is a great value.
A classic pair of driving gloves adds style and occasion to even the most mundane drive, these genuine leather gloves are well-made and priced right. Everyone in the office loved them and they are on par with gloves costing more than twice the cost, plus they come in a number of colors.
VinGardeValise 12 Bottle Suitcase
For the wine lover on the go, this is the ultimate gift, flying or by car, the VinGardeValise collection of suitcases protects your favorite finds from your wine country vacation. The VinGardeValise also features other additional inserts that allow consumers to take control of their suitcase by being able to transport glassware, magnum-sized bottles, and custom-sized bottles.
