Dad Types #20 Hipster Dad (they’re everywhere)

What to buy Dad for Father’s Day? He already has everything he wants right, so it’s the thought that really counts for Father’s Day! Look, if you get it right with an awesome T-Shirt, that gets his sense of humor, his interests AND that he would wear in front of his friends – then you can be proud!  What would he actually wear in public?

Could you or your father be a Hipster Dad?

I feel compelled to write this one as they are appearing everywhere – also accompanied with Hipster Mom and usually by “well-dressed”, confused-looking kids! You have definitely seen them in an urban area near you. Hipster Dad is identifiable by his overly-groomed extra long beard and a well-planned “sleeve” of colorful tats not to mention his oversized t-shirt but undersized jeans (go figure). If you need to get Hipster dad oneof these tees for father’s day, best to tell him they are farm-to-table and he will take 3 of them! 

Symptoms: 

1. Spends more time grooming his beard than hair
2. Skinny jeans are “comfy”
3. Rides his fixie bike into town
4. LOVES ironic t-shirts (ironically)
5. Eats an organic, gluten-free, lactose-free, farm-to-table, keto-based diet
6. He’s a graphic designer I think
7. Only works remotely
8. The tighter the jeans the more manly you are!

Words to live by:

“The world may be broken, but hope is not crazy.”

His hobbies include: 

1. Cycling in denim
2. Designing his next tattoo
3. Being Ironic

His ideal gift would be: 

• His own bicycle shop
