Owen & Fred Father’s Day Gift Guide

May 30, 2012

As I’m sure you already know, Father’s Day is rapidly approaching. And, since we’re all well past the age of giving dear old dad a clay handprint or tie from his own closet, the pressure is on to find a gift. With that in mind, I’ve asked Mike Arnot, one of the founders of the hardwearing yet affordable accessories e-tailer Owen & Fred, to round-up some of his favorite items for a Father’s Day Gift Guide. Not only did Mike put together a hell of a list (seriously, some of the stuff is so nice it almost makes me want to be a dad just so I can receive it), he’s also very generously decided to offer a free $10 O&F gift card on all orders over $50 that use code THANKYOUWELLSPENT (more like thank you Mike). Check out Mike’s picks after the jump.

Estribos Polo Belts

I hope you guys aren’t tired of reading about ethnic belts yet, ’cause I sure as hell ain’t tired of writing about ‘em. This week’s peppy-pant-keeper-uppers come courtesy of the 120 year old Argentinian company Estribos.

Rowena Sartin Buckleless Belt

May 10, 2012

Look ma, no buckle! A belt for anyone who didn’t grow up wanting to be a cowboy (or, in Texas), the Buckleless Belt from Los Angeles based designer Rowena Sartin is fastened by a hidden stud on the tip, which connects to holes on the belt’s opposite end. Made from heavy pull-up cowhide, and measuring a nicely versatile 1.25″ in width, the belt is a uniquely low-profile way to prevent low-hanging pants. Woof. Read More »
