Here’s how to make Dad feel extra special on his big day – in a green way, of course!
Fashion Windows turned me on to Church’s, the Northampton brand of classical English elegance. In business since 1873, the company still uses the age-old process of making everything by hand. Splurge a little and buy your father a hand-crafted silk tie.
A green suit? How so, you ask? Treehugger reported that Sears has taken a chance with tailoring manufacturer Bagir to sell the world’s first recycled PET bottle (polyethylene terephthalate most commonly used for food packaging) suit. The same company who brought us the iPod suit and the machine wash and dry suit has invented this version made from wool and recycled PET plastic bottles. Sold under the Covington private-label in US stores only, your dad can pioneer a new look for business attire.

Help your dad feel like a kid again with these quirky cuff links. Made of recycled wrist watches, no two pieces are alike. They’re subtle enough to be wearable and are sure conversation starters if your dad wants to brag about how in touch he is.
Sprig has put together a list of Father’s Day gifts, too. I like this outdoor gear – great for active types.
You might consider sending your father a bouquet of flowers – men enjoy them just like women do, and these days, it’s considered both thoughtful and stylish. Look to Organica Deluxe for the perfect organic blooms, or consider an organic, eco-friendly miniature lemon or olive tree.
