What to buy Dad for Christmas? He already has everything he wants right, so it’s the thought that really counts for Christmas! It’s Xmas, should I really gift t-shirts? Look, if you get it right with an awesome Tee, that gets his sense of humor, his interests AND that he would wear in front of his friends – then why not? If he wears tees everyday then that’s something worth buying. What would he actually wear in public? Almost all these tees are available in Big & Tall sizes, you know, just in case.

The principled and disciplinarian father who (intentionally) taught you how to be a man – the hard way, it’s tough love.

He made you say ‘Please’ and ‘Thank You’, or else! BUT Did he teach you to be the person you are today? Then this shirt should fit his credo. Continue reading
