!–paging_filter–pDad’s come in all shapes, sizes and guises, but almost none of them want a tie, unless it’s a really cool bowtie from a href=”http://\/\/seattlemag.com/madrona-s-hammer-awl-opens-saturday-october-12“here/a, a href=”http://\/\/seattlemag.com/article/new-downtown-menswear-shop-suitsupply-…“here/a or a href=”http://\/\/seattlemag.com/article/designer-watch-michael-cepress“here/a. Here’s a list of some of our favorite things we’ve seen about town for your dad, whatever he’s into./p
pstrongFor the grill master:/strong/p
pa href=”https://www.etsy.com/listing/159388232/japanese-apron-the-original-no-ti…” target=”_blank”Kanso Japanese aprons/a ($69.99), handmade in Seattle by Kenji Yoshinari are simply, and brilliantly constructed—without a tie in sight. Available at a href=”http://\/\/seattlemag.com/momo“Momo/a and the apron of choice for the rock star chefs at Fremont’s a href=”http://\/\/seattlemag.com/article/chic-eats-fremonts-vif“Vif/a./p
pstrongbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrFor the outdoorsman:/strong/p

pA classic Stanley thermos ($45) is perfect for hot coffee on a cold PNW morning. The fact that the company who makes this iconic piece of Americana is headquartered in Seattle is a nice bonus. Available at a href=”http://glasswingshop.com/collections/outdoor/products/stainless-steel-th…” target=”_blank”Glasswing/a./p
pstrongFor the dog lover:/strong/p
p style=”text-align: center;”img src=”/sites/default/files/newfiles/leash.jpg” alt=”leash” width=”500″ height=”500″/p
pFilson, another classic Northwest company, has many things suitable for old pops, but their new a href=”http://www.filson.com/products/dog-rope-leash.90122.html” target=”_blank”nylon dog leash/a ($65) is a nice gift and an easy-on-the-wallet entry point for the man who appreciates high-quality, well-constructed and often made in Seattle luggage and outerwear./p
pstrongFor the dapper dad:/strong/p
p style=”text-align: center;”img src=”/sites/default/files/newfiles/socks_m_anchor.jpg” alt=”socks” width=”500″ height=”500″/p
pIn addition to the bowtie resources above, the stylish man always needs a cool pair of socks. Head to the Jonathan Adler shop at U Village for a selection of sophisticated, yet cheeky, a href=”http://www.jonathanadler.com/Men-s-Anchor-Socks/?cat=1055#” target=”_blank”sock/a options ($14)./p
pstrongFor the chef:/strong/p
p style=”text-align: center;”img src=”/sites/default/files/newfiles/stackedfryingpans.jpg” alt=”chef” width=”500″ height=”333″/p
pIf dad does the cooking, make sure he has the best tools for the job. Forged in Ballard and super-cool looking, a a href=”http://www.bluskilletironware.com/shop-the-wares/frying-pans” target=”_blank”blue steel pan/a from Blu Skillet Ironworks (from $75) is perhaps the only pan he’ll ever need again./p
