we've all got an old (or young, aspiring) curmudgeon in our lives that sneaks out a few wise words and heartfelt sentiments every once and a while. this weekend is the day to pay back all those golden oldies in our lives as we celebrate father's day 2011. we've compiled a short list of some of our favourite still life men's items that should help get dad smiling ear to ear this june 19th.

• native shoes: almost a total no-brainer. lightweight, anti-microbial (read: they don't stink) summer footwear. with lots of sizes and colours to choose from the jefferson will remind him of his youth running around the baseball diamond while the howard will inspire him to push harder for that retirement boat.
• greenland wax from fjällräven: working with the assumption that 98% of dads like projects, the greenland wax from fjällräven will keep him busy for at least 40 minutes on a rainy day. made from beeswax & paraffin this wax will waterproof (and mosquito proof) any shirting, jackets, tents or backpacks he's all ready got to take camping or adventuring for the rest of the summer.
• fred perry silk ties: this one is pretty straightforward folks. maybe you got him a tie last year, maybe you got him him every year for the last 20 years - either way he could always use a nice new one so you can spot him as he's holding back tears at your graduation. plus you'll feel better knowing he's wearing a nicer tie than any of his old timer friends.
• ken diamond leather goods: some dads are tougher than others - and for these guys we've got ken diamond quality leather goods. handmade in vancouver, these full grain high quality leather goods range from wallets and braided leather wallet chains to key fobs, belts and leather cuffs. available in naturally-aging vegetan leather or tough as nails black leather.
• brixton hats & accessories: if dad's planning on spending any time at the barbecue this summer, he'll command the respect he deserves as king of the grill if he's wearing a crown from brixton. straw porkpie hats, lightweight cotton poorboy caps or nautically-trimmed greek fisherman hats from this california accessories company will ensure cooler heads will prevail when your steak gets cooked medium instead of medium-rare.

of course we'll also happily fill in a still life gift certificate with any cheeky, inside-joke nicknames for the man of the hour at your request - and we've got a full store of shirting, denim & other apparell that will make dad stand a little taller on his special day. so don't forget father's day is sunday, june 19th, 2011!
