The 2025 Father’s Day Gift Guide

Posted by Brackish Team on

Father’s Day is right around the corner, and if you’re anything like us, you want to give a gift that feels just as special as he is.

This year, we’ve curated a Father’s Day Gift Guide filled with timeless accessories crafted from natural materials - think sustainably sourced feathers, genuine leather, and hand-finished details that tell a story. Whether your dad is the classic type, a nature lover, a social butterfly, or a style minimalist, there’s something here that’s bound to make his day. And probably his year.

Let’s dive in.

For the Traditionalist

Classic. Timeless. Unapologetically refined.

You know the dad we’re talking about. He still shines his shoes. He believes in the power of a handwritten note. He owns a watch he’s worn since the ’90s, and somehow, it still works with everything.

For the man who appreciates enduring style and the quiet confidence of black and white, we recommend our guinea feather pieces. This featherway is bold in its own way: defined by a crisp, dotted pattern in tones that go with absolutely everything. It’s a no-brainer, but never boring.

Here are three picks we love for the classic dad:

1. The Gatsby Bow Tie

A true icon. With its distinctive spotted pattern and neutral palette, the Gatsby Bow Tie is one of our most-loved bow ties, and for good reason. It pairs beautifully with tuxedos, sport coats, or even a crisp white shirt and slacks. Whether he’s dressing for a formal occasion or just wants to feel like his best self, this bow tie adds instant polish.

2. The Seattle Pin

Subtle, but never forgettable. The Seattle Lapel Pin features delicate Guinea feathers arranged in a modern shape that adds a refined touch to any blazer or jacket. It's an ideal gift for dads who appreciate fine details but don't want to overdo it.

3. The Guinea Cummerbund

Elevate his black-tie wardrobe with this showstopper. The Guinea Cummerbund is handcrafted with precision and makes a bold statement without veering into flashy territory. It’s a gift that says: “I know you appreciate tradition, but I also know you like to stand out - just a little.”

For the Outdoorsman

He hikes at sunrise, grills at sunset, and never misses a chance to breathe in mountain air.

If your dad feels most at home in the wild - be it camping, fishing, or just enjoying the quiet of a morning walk through the woods - this one’s for him.

Our turkey feather collection is made for nature lovers. These feathers feature deep, earthy tones with a natural iridescence that captures the subtle magic of the outdoors. It’s a featherway that feels grounded, textured, and rich with character - just like him.

Here are our top three picks for the adventurer:

1. The Original Bow Tie

The one that started it all. The Original Bow Tie is made with iridescent turkey, resulting in a beautifully earthy look that reflects the tones of a forest at golden hour. It’s versatile enough for both casual dinners and special occasions, and it always tells a story.

2. The Daufuskie Cufflink & Studs Set

Named after the remote island in South Carolina, the Daufuskie Cufflink and Stud Set is the perfect gift for the dad who appreciates quiet luxury. The turkey feather details bring texture and personality to a formal shirt, while still maintaining that rugged, nature-inspired vibe.

3. The Copper Canyon Belt

Made with premium leather and inlaid with turkey feather accents, the Copper Canyon Belt feels both elevated and practical - exactly what your outdoorsy dad will appreciate. It adds interest to everyday outfits and pairs effortlessly with denim, canvas, or khaki.

For the Life of the Party

He’s the toastmaster, the entertainer, the one with the best playlist.

He walks into a room and instantly brings the energy up. He can turn strangers into friends in five minutes flat. He’s the one who always knows which wine to bring, which joke to tell, and which story to share.

For the dad with charisma to spare, our peacock feather pieces are the perfect fit. Bold yet refined, colorful yet elegant, these pieces are designed to spark conversation, and admiration.

Here are three favorites guaranteed to keep the spotlight on him:

1. The Pathfinder Pocket Square

A showstopper in the best way, the Pathfinder Pocket Square features a vibrant combination of peacock and pheasant feathers, artfully arranged to highlight their iridescent brilliance. It’s perfect for adding a pop of color to a blazer or suit, and for dads who don’t shy away from a little flair.

2. The Twilight Pin

Sophisticated and dramatic, the Twilight Pin is designed with midnight-hued peacock feathers for a luxe, moody vibe. It’s ideal for evening events, cocktail parties, or anytime he wants to make a statement. It's a small accessory with a big personality, just like him.

3. The Flintlock Bow Tie

This one’s all about the details. Layers of peacock and guinea feathers give the Flintlock Bow Tie depth, dimension, and undeniable swagger. It looks stunning under soft lighting and pairs beautifully with dark suits. Trust us - he’ll be getting compliments all night.

For the Minimalist

Understated. Intentional. Effortlessly cool.

If your dad lives by the “less is more” philosophy, if he’d rather own fewer, better things, he’ll appreciate the clean, refined aesthetic of our quail and partridge feather collection. These natural feathers come in soft creams, light browns, and warm neutrals, offering a subtle elegance that doesn’t beg for attention, but still stands out.

Here are two top-tier gifts for the dad who appreciates simplicity and quality:

1. The Exuma Bow Tie

Elegant in its restraint, the Exuma Bow Tie features the soft, warm hues of bobwhite quail feathers. It’s the kind of piece that complements, rather than competes with, his outfit. Perfect for the dad who enjoys dressing well, without ever trying too hard.

2. The Due West Belt

The ultimate "everyday elevated" accessory. The Due West Belt combines premium materials with an understated feather detail that feels special, but not flashy. It’s the kind of gift he’ll wear every day without even thinking about it. And that's the point.

Bonus: How to Gift It Right

Because presentation matters.

When gifting something this unique, don’t forget the finishing touches. All of our accessories come beautifully boxed, ready to gift, but if you want to go the extra mile:

Add a personal note. A heartfelt message can elevate any gift. Share a favorite memory or simply tell him how much he means to you.

Include a styling tip. If he’s new to wearing accessories like bow ties or lapel pins, let him know how you imagine him wearing it - maybe to dinner, maybe on vacation, maybe just because.

Pair it with something sentimental. A framed photo of you two, a bottle of his favorite bourbon, or a book he’ll love makes for a well-rounded and thoughtful gift moment.

Because He Deserves the Best

This Father’s Day, skip the forgettable and give him something that truly reflects who he is. Whether your dad is a modern minimalist or a life-of-the-party kind of guy, these pieces were made to honor his individuality, elevate his wardrobe, and last for years to come.

And honestly? He deserves nothing less.

So here’s to all the dads - the anchors, the guides, the cheerleaders, the storytellers. The ones who show up and show love. Let’s give them something worthy of that.

Explore the full Father’s Day Gift Guide online and find the piece that’s just right for him.

We’ll make sure it arrives in time, and look as good as he will.
