Ask Huckberry: Dad Edition

Free guaranteed Father’s Day shipping ends at midnight, what the best dads have in common, ranking the world cup uniforms, and more… 

Father’s Day is only a week away. But if you haven’t bought anything for Dad yet, don’t sweat—we’ve brought together three of our own to help ease your last-minute hunt. In this edition of Ask Huckberry, Richard (our Co-Founder), Ben (our Chief Brand Officer), and David (our Journal Editor) go deep on topics like dad bod fitness, how to make your kids curious about the world around them, and why every dad needs a chore coat. Keep scrolling for their top gift picks, then watch the full conversation on our Youtube channel for a rundown of the best advice and gear they’ve been given (and are now passing along) as fathers.

Our limited-edition Knob Creek tote is built to get better with age, like whiskey in the barrel. The weather-resistant waxed cotton upper and sturdy leather base can handle getting dirty and beat up on dad duty, and they’ll earn a unique patina to show for it. Throw in diapers, beach toys, and extra layers. It fits everything—including a little something for him. The exterior drop-in pockets were specifically designed to fit Knob Creek bottles.

This is a gift he can never have too many of. Our top-selling tee is made in the USA from 100% cotton and garment dyed for a vintage look and feel. Buy three and save 15%, so he’s got a couple on-deck in case of spills, handprints, or impromptu art projects with the kids.

This razor-sharp blade unlocks a new level of precision for home chefs. It’s hand-forged from reclaimed railroad steel and backed by over 175 years of Korean blacksmithing heritage. It’ll let Dad live out his Michelin-starred dreams, mastering coring and peeling techniques for dishes and cocktails that the average kitchen knife just can’t hack.

Most dads run hot. And we make the perfect shirt to keep him cool. It’s ultra-light and perforated for maximum airflow, so he can keep up, even when temps climb. The collar makes pivoting to the office and date nights easy, and the chest pocket is an under-appreciated dad essential. Our co-founder, Richard, won’t wear a shirt without one. We just restocked it in limited prints, perfect for summer.

We teamed up with Vaer on a limited-edition GMT that pays homage to a 70s-era icon. It’s assembled in the USA from marine-grade stainless steel with a Swiss movement, and it comes with both a stainless steel bracelet and a fatigue-tone NATO strap. The independently adjustable GMT hand makes it easy to track two time zones simultaneously, and its yellowed hands and indices reflect decades of natural sun exposure. It’s a durable timepiece he doesn’t have to baby.

We took midcentury fatigue pants and rebuilt them from the ground up with breathable cotton linen and an elastic waist. Ben, our Chief Brand Officer, calls linen pants a slam dunk when he’s got to keep up with a toddler, especially in summer. They’re relaxed and lightweight but dress up when they need to, and the roomy patch pockets have more than enough space, even for the overprepared dad.

A 1950s design rebuilt from the ground up with top-notch materials, like Horween Chromexcel leather and Yuketen’s rubber-and-cork camp sole. The Angler Moc is hand-cut, hand-lasted, and hand-stitched in Maine for a fit that mirrors the human foot. Time treats this kind of craftsmanship well—very well.

Our exclusive GORUCK pack is built in the USA from Special Forces-grade materials. Its stealthy design easily transitions from adventures with the kids to weekdays at the office to trips abroad. Throw a ruck plate in the designated internal pocket, and you’ve turned your go-to bag into one of the easiest ways for a dad to get a full-body workout.
