Gift dad a sustainably-made wardrobe upgrade this Father's Day.

Dads are notoriously hard to shop for because they often buy themselves whatever they need. However, the right wardrobe staple can make a much-appreciated gift for Father’s Day. After all, most dads don’t spend a lot of time shopping for clothes and finding him something sustainably-made that’s high quality adds extra meaning to the gift. Knowing where to buy ethical and eco-friendly menswear isn’t always obvious, so the added touch of introducing him to sustainable brands is meaningful. In fact, men are known for their brand loyalty, so even if the dad in your life isn’t buying sustainable clothing yet, he has a good chance of becoming a loyal customer to whatever brands you buy for him if they’re well-made and stylish. The following are sustainably-made wardrobe staples dad is sure to love for Father’s Day.

The name alone is a huge selling feature on this Blanket Shirt by Outerknown. After all, who wouldn’t love a shirt as cozy as a blanket? Made from heavyweight organic cotton twill, the shirt is warmer than the average flannel but still lightweight enough to not feel like a full jacket. It comes in dozens of patterns to fit any taste, including solid colors for those dads who prefer simplicity. And, it doesn’t wrinkle, making it perfect for travel or camping. Outerknown is committed to fair labor practices and strives to create sustainable clothing that’ll last a lifetime — something most dads will appreciate.

Dads love wardrobe staples and often, the simpler the better! Made from a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester, the Hightide Crew by Outerknown is comfy, practical, and comes in nine color options so dad can stock up if he loves it.
