What to buy an older man of style for Father's Day

Thursday, 14 June 2012

So your father is a snappy dresser who always puts you to shame with his style and finesse? Or is he a shambles who needs an injection of distinction? Whichever, here are a few gifts I would welcome from my children - to suit all pockets and styles, for the man of action or not.

A Paul Smith handkerchief - Mr Porter 


A Mulberry bag - Mr Porter


A vintage bicycle


A London Undercover umbrella


An Anthony Sinclair bespoke suit, as supplied to James Bond.


A bottle of Welsh whisky.


A tank driving experience


A vintage watch (here a 1968 Omega Speedmaster - as worn on the Moon)


A good book, The Song of Achilles, winner Orange Prize 2012.
