Founded in 1949, the brand not only helped establish the blueprint for modern menswear staples like shirting and polos, it has remained a cornerstone of men's clothing for over 75 years. As the original American sportswear brand, GANT's legacy is built on a combination of founder Bernard Gantmacher's dedication to quality and the sense of style possessed by his sons, Marty and Elliot. With the contemporary range populated by preppy essentials, you can see GANT's magic touch for crafting classic and elevated pieces of menswear everywhere you look. We've long been admirers of the GANT aesthetic here at Man of Many, so read on to discover a collection of hand-picked items we believe will make the perfect Father's Day gift. It's worth a look, regardless of whether you're shopping for the man who raised you or simply looking to treat yourself. Regular Fit Classic Oxford Shirt | Image: Gant Regular Fit Classic Oxford Shirt Dating all the way back to 1949, GANT's shirting formed the foundation from which the rest of the brand was built. The embodiment of versatility and smart-casual chic, this classic Oxford shirt is crafted from durable cotton and boasts a button-down collar, curved hem, adjustable cuffs, and a box pleat with GANT's signature locker loop at the back. The perfect finishing touch comes in the form of the brand's iconic Archive Shield embroidery on the chest pocket. Regular Fit Shield Piqué Polo Shirt | Image: Gant Regular Fit Shield Piqué Polo Shirt Whether you're looking for something smart yet comfortable to wear on a casual Friday outing or you're determined to be ready for when an impromptu tennis match breaks out, GANT's versatile piqué polo shirt is the perfect addition to your wardrobe. Not only does this polo come in an impressively broad range of colourways (we must warn you, it's impossible to stop at one), it also features a comfortable fit, traditional flat knit collar, two-button placket, small side slits, and an embroidered GANT logo on the chest. It's guaranteed to become your go-to in no time. Cotton Cable Knit Crew Neck Sweater | Image: Gant Cotton Cable Knit Crew Neck Sweater Every man needs at least one cable knit option at his disposal, and they don't come any better than this. A stirring demonstration of GANT's legacy of craftsmanship, this soft sweater combines warmth, comfort, and unquestionable sartorial savvy. Beyond essential for those fond of the preppy look—and who amongst us is not?—the all-over cable knit structure, ribbed endings at the neck, hem, and cuffs, and GANT Archive shield embroidered at the chest make this an immaculate piece of timeless menswear. Slim Fit Twill Chinos | Image: Gant Slim Fit Twill Chinos As one of the most versatile items of clothing out there, the quality of one's chinos can really help to separate the men from the boys. This slim-fit incarnation from GANT is a perfect example of how you can elevate a staple. Crafted using organic cotton twill with a hint of stretch, these pants offer the comfort of a mid-rise waist and detailing in the form of a coin pocket, double welt pockets, buttoned back pockets, and a GANT logo label at the back. These chinos will, in turn, elevate any ensemble with which they are paired. Heavy Rugger | Image: Gant Heavy Rugger Since its introduction in 1974, this garment has been a nod to GANT's collegiate origins. It is the perfect garment for creating a casual aesthetic while still keeping things sharp.

Opening with a burst of bright yellow mandarin, followed by notes of saffron and cardamom, it evolves an elegant balance of aromatic freshness as clary sage comes to the fore.

Now smoother, deeper, and more complex at 12 years old, it's an extraordinary display of distilling prowess that boasts a symphony of delicious flavours. Thanks to 12 years spent in bourbon casks, this masterclass offers a nose of citrus and ripening peaches that are balanced by an irresistible hint of soft vanilla. On the palate, the vanilla emerges further before giving way to a burst of flowery fruitiness. As the lingering finish takes hold, expect notes of almond, coconut, and a hint of maple syrup. This award-winning expression received a coveted gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2025 and 2024, as well as at the World Whiskies Awards 2024, so you don't need to take our word for the fact that this is an outstanding way to lift your gifting game.

Made from natural top-grain leather, the Orbitkey's construction is top-quality and coated with a protective finish to enhance durability when it's hanging from your belt or mixing around in your pocket.

The UE Wonderboom 3 has become our office speaker of choice thanks to a crisp room-filling sound with powerful bass. It's remarkable what kind of audio you can get out of such a small, portable speaker. Headline figures for this portable speaker are great too, with up to 14 hours of battery life, IP67 dust and water resistance, and drop-proof construction. Priced at AU$149.95 we think this makes the perfect gift for men who want something they can use in the home office, on the job site, or anywhere they want to take the music with them. We've used this portable speaker camping, travelling, and adventuring across multiple countries. You just never know when you're going to need it, but you'll be thankful when you have it!

Sony WH1000-XM5 | Image: Sony Sony WH1000-XM5 – Best Gift for Men Under $500 Price: from AU$548 We get to try a tonne of great products here at Man of Many, but few do we recommend as often as the Sony WH1000-XM5 noise-cancelling headphones. Forget the Apple Airpods Max, these are the best consumer-grade noise-cancelling headphones on the market with near-silent noise cancellation, great audio quality, and the comfiest earcups in the game. Maybe the most impressive feature of all is the battery life of up to 40 hours (30 hours with Bluetooth and noise-cancelling enabled). The perfect travel headphones, they beat the Bose QuietComfort 45 (24 hours) and Air Pods MAx (up to 20 hours) by a long shot. We brought them on a recent trip to the UK and didn't have to charge them once between our home in Sydney and the hotel in London. Often found priced under AU$500 the headphones are available in white, black, and a new midnight blue colour which is or pick of the bunch. Tissot PRX reference no. T137.410.11.051.00 | Image: Tissot Tissot PRX – Best Gift for Men Under $1000 Price: from AUD$610 The Tissot PRX is still one of the best watches you can buy for men under AU$1000 thanks to its vintage sports-meets-dress watch aesthetic and reliable quartz movement. We go hands-on with great watches every week here at Man of Many, but we often find ourselves throwing the Quartz PRX back on when we just want something stylish, simple, and timeless. It gets the approval of watch lovers everywhere, no matter where they sit on the brand spectrum. If you're feeling adventurous, you can spend a bit more and get yourself an automatic Powermatic 80 PRX, which is priced at AUD$1,150, or the flashy Chronograph Automatic, which is priced at AUD$3,050. Our pick of the bunch has to be the quartz, though, for its affordable price point. RELATED: Read our full on-the-wrist review of the PRX here. Remington HC4400AU Curved Blade Technology | Image: Amazon Remington HC4400AU Curved Blade Technology Price: AUD$129.95 If personal grooming and style is something the man in your life prioritises, then Remington has you covered. The iconic shaver brand's curved blade kit is perfect for the man who wants to stay sharp without visiting the barber every week. With this product, he can trim his own hair at home quickly and easily, courtesy of the revamped design's ultra-ergonomic constrcution. The Remington HC4400AU kit is best-known for its 70mm curved blade, which achieves a cleaner, more even cut in less time, following the natural contours of the head. According to the brand, this leads to 57 per cent greater blade coverage—how they measure that, we aren't sure but one thing we are certain of is that any man with one of these shavers will have the freshest dome in the neighbourhood. MYRQVIST Mölle Loafer | Image: MoM Shop MYRQVIST Mölle Loafer Price: AUD$319 If it's time your man traded the sneakers for something a little classier, these loafers from MYRQVIST are the ultimate gift. The Mölle is a sophisticated tassel loafer crafted from black calf leather and finished with a single leather sole. On the top, you'll find an apron front design that oozes elegance and exudes confidence. Perfect for any formal occasion or a day at the office. Apple Watch Ultra | Image: Supplied Apple Watch Ultra – Best Tech Gift Price: from AUD$1,299 If you're an Apple user looking for the best smartwatch on the market to gift the man in your life then the Watch Ultra is your bet. Smartwatches are a great gift idea for men that they'll use every day to track their fitness, notifications, and general health. We'd save time mentioning the features the Apple Watch Ultra doesn't have, but some of our favourites include Stride Length, Ground Contact Time, Vertical Oscillation and Running Power. Not to mention all the new workout views, such as Segments, Splits and Elevation. Not an athlete? You'll appreciate the long-lasting battery life of up to 36 hours. Gozney Roccbox 'Yellow' Limited Edition | Image: Gozney Gozney Roccbox Portable Pizza Oven – Best Gift for a Foodie Price: from AUD$799 Not a week goes by without cooking a pizza or two in our Gozney Roccbox. The ultimate gift for a foodie in your life, the Roccbox is one of the best pizza ovens on the market. A segment-defining product, it'll cook you pizza, steak, chicken, wings, or any of the Gozney recipes found online without much of a learning curve. In fact, the only foodie gift that even comes close is the much larger and more expensive Gozney Dome that's better suited for large outdoor entertaining venues. After testing the Gozney Roccbox for ourselves, we found it to be a far more cost-effective option for couples and those without the space required to set up a full-size Dome. We highly recommend the Roccbox if you're living in an apartment or what to take the Roccbox away with you for weekends and camping. Watch us cook some Korean chicken wings in the Gozney Roccbox on our Instagram. Le Labo Santal 33 | Image: Le Labo Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum – Best Luxury Gift Price: from AUD$285 It makes sense that our top luxury gift ideas for men would also be one of our favourite luxury fragrances for men. Le Labo Santal 33 is up there with the greatest fragrances ever created, and while expensive, it will have the man in your life smelling a million dollars with notes of cardamom, iris, violet, Australian sandalwood, cedarwood, papyrus, and musk. To describe this scent in a sentence would be unfair, but as it warms on the skin we found it musky, slightly smoky, and addictive. In the words of Le Labo 'Imagine sitting in solitude on the rugged, wide plains of the American West, firelight on your face, indigo-blue night skies.' frank green Ceramic Reusable Cup | Image: frank green frank green Ceramic Reusable Cup – Best Sustainable Gift Price: from AUD$44.95 We're all trying to do our little bit for the planet these days, even if it's something small like swapping from coffee cups to reusable bottles. Enter Frank Green and their reusable coffee cups. After trialling a number of these cups, this is our favourite thanks to its no-spill lid, triple-wall vacuum insulated construction that keeps your drink hot (or cold), colour, and choice of sizes. We opted for the standard 10oz / 295ml cup when we got ours. Best of all, it fits standard car cupholders. Pro-Ject Primary E Bluetooth Turntable | Image: Supplied Pro-Ject Primary E Bluetooth Turntable – Best Music Lovers Gift Price: from AUD$708 A turntable that will play vinyl music straight to your Bluetooth speakers, does a gift for music lovers get any better?

To seal the deal, the Pro-Ject Primary E even comes with its own counterweight and anti-skating weight pre-set, so all you have to do is plug it in and let Skynard rip. It couldn't be easier.

Levi's 501 Original | Image: Supplied Levi's 501 Original Price: from AUD$129.95 The Levi's 501 Original Jeans are a style staple and icon. When you close your eyes and think of 'jeans' these are the ones that come to mind, and for good reason, they've been around since 1873 and were invented by the man himself Levi Strauss. With a quality construction that's made from 14.39-ounce denim, there's a reason these have a cult following amongst fashion conscience men. They're classic, they look good, and they'll last you a decade or more! Grab a pair for yourself or a loved one this Christmas. R.M. Williams Comfort Craftsman Boot | Image: Supplied R.M. Williams Comfort Craftsman Boot Price: from AUD$649 You already knew these would find their way into our list of best gift ideas for men in one way or another. The only thing better than owning a pair yourself is gifting them to a family member or loved one who's yet to experience the versatility of this national treasure. When it comes to 'quality' the R.M. Williams Comfort Craftsman Boot is up there with the best anywhere in the world. Most notably, the use of yearling leather for supreme pliability, a good year welted sole that can be repaired for life, and a chisel square toe that's stylish and suitable for all occasions.

As such, it's a no-brainer gift for a loved one this Christmas and offers quality and class in a simple-to-wear and pair aesthetic. Made from 100% cotton, it's comfortable and features a classic fit that suits all body types. Golden Goose Ball Star Leather Sneakers | Image: Supplied Golden Goose Ball Star Leather Sneakers Price: from AUD$660 While we thought distressed sneakers were just another fashion trend, it's been over a decade since Golden Goose hit the scene, and their lineup of distressed-look sneakers is only getting stronger. Enter their latest offering, the Ball Star leather sneakers that feature another fan favourite's hallmarks. We love the soft leather construction on the upper alongside the leather lining and insole designed for ultimate comfort and style. Made in Italy, these are the pure definition of quality footwear. Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Parfum | Image: Giorgio Armani Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Parfum Price: from AU$130 Give the gift of smelling irresistible with Giorgio Armani's Acqua di Giò Parfum, a powerful and mesmerising scent characterised by the harmonious blend of incense and the iconic marine notes that have made Acqua di Giò such a classic. Like charisma and mystery distilled and bottled, this scent recalls scenes of rugged landscapes meeting the power of a vast ocean, ending with a sense of exhilarating yet luxurious freshness. The only thing that can match the craftsmanship of this scent is the bottle that contains it. The sleek yet masculine form has been meticulously crafted in tones of graduated black and thoughtfully designed to captivate the senses and enhance the overall experience of this remarkable fragrance. An impressive blend of elegance and sophistication, Giorgio Armani's Acqua di Giò Parfum is the perfect gift for those with discerning tastes. Samsonite C-Lite Spinner 75cm | Image: THE ICONIC Samsonite C-Lite Spinner 75cm Price: AUD$699.30 When it comes to gifts you take with you for life, a quality piece of luggage is hard to beat. The ultimate in style and security, travel cases help to keep your items protected and (hopefully) your next trip through the airport a little smoother. The C-Lite Spinner from Samsonite is arguably the most versatile piece of luggage we have come across, courtesy of its robust outer shell and double-wheel construction.

People are only just realising what the loop on the back of shirts is for
There's a tiny loop on the back of shirts that, unbeknownst to most men and women, has a specific purpose. Found between the shoulder blades, where the yoke (upper back) of the shirt meets the pleat, the loop is not, however, a new design feature. Rather, it has a long history and, while its principal purpose has remained the same over time, it has also had other, very novel uses at various points. A feature of both men's and women's shirts, the loop tends to be overlooked by people today. But, according to a number of online sources, including website Mental Floss, the loop's origins lie with the US Navy and, specifically, sailors' close quarters. Since sailors didn't have wardrobes to hang up their shirts - they simply had space-saving lockers - the garments were designed with loops that could conveniently slide onto hooks on the wall. In this way, the shirts would not only be stored neatly but would also dry more quickly - and usually without creases. The loop, therefore, came to be known as the 'locker loop'. The locker loop was then co-opted by US fashion brand GANT, which was founded in New Haven, Connecticut - the home of Ivy League university Yale. According to Gear Patrol, the quintessentially American brand added the design feature to its Oxford shirts, initially placing the loop on the collar, to make life easier for Yale students. They would, after all, be able to hang up their shirts easily, without requiring hangers. As the official fashion brand for Yale, GANT's shirts were ubiquitous on campus and equally informed popular men's style across the country. By the 1960s, though, the locker loop had taken on a new - much less practical (though no less important) - purpose. It became a way to indicate romantic intent, with women tearing the loops off the shirts of the men that they fancied. Men would equally remove the loops from their shirts to signal that they were off the market. The trend quickly gathered pace, leading one mail-order company to send customers just the loops, according to Mental Floss. Not everyone, however, was so earnest, with some people simply ripping off others' shirt loops for the fun of it. Worse still, an 'intact loop was used as a way to stoke homophobia and imply that not only was the wearer not in a relationship but they were gay'. It was described as a 'fruit loop' and 'fairy tag', amongst other offensive names. While locker loops on shirts are often ignored today, they can still work as a helpful space-saving hack by eliminating the need for wardrobe hangers. When the design feature was discussed on Reddit's 'todayilearned' subreddit, one user admitted they went down a 'rabbit hole' - suggesting they became particularly curious about the origins of the locker loop. They wrote: 'Thank you for that rabbit hole I've now fallen into!' Another user suggested an alternative purpose for the locker loop - though it's not difficult to see why it didn't catch on. The person wrote: 'I put a carabiner [clip] with my keys on mine. I want everyone to know I have keys. Because my loud big keys mean I'm important.'
