Gentlemen, Antonio here.
Today, I�m going to talk about how to give the perfect Father�s Day gift.
Guys, there are some
great dads out there, selfless dads.
The problem with a lot of these selfless dads though is that
they aren�t taking care of themselves.
They�re going out there and they�re looking at clothing
maybe they�re looking at a leather bag accessory, they�re looking at a watch and they�re
saying,
you know, I really like this one right here and, I can afford it, but I�m going to go
for this one
over here because even though I don�t like it as much, maybe it doesn�t fit me as well,
I�m going
to go with it because the money I save here I can spend on my family and I can spend on
my
kids.
Guys, as a father of four and having had many fathers go through my programs, I�ve heard
about this.
They�ve told me about this guilt, I felt this guilt.
And it�s something that when it
comes to Father�s Day, if you�re looking to get the perfect gift, give a father what
he loves and
what he uses already, but give him better than what he settled for.
So many dads out there they have had this settled and many of them have done it just
simply
because they want to give more and more to their kids, but the problem there is that
they end
up with a wardrobe they end up with accessories they end up with all of these stuff which
really
they don�t like that much.
So, if you want to blow your dad away, make sure to follow this
advice and I�m going to give you guys three tips.
But, before I get into that, all the clothing samples I have here, the clothing I�m wearing
here it�s
brought to you buy Ledbury.
Guys, if you�re not familiar with Ledbury, this company has been
with me for about a year now.
I�ve got tons of their clothing, I put out multiple videos with this
company, great company and they embody the three points I�m about to get into.
Tip number one giving the perfect Father�s Day gift is to upgrade the quality of what
he already
uses and loves.
You can apply this to watches you can apply this to leather bags.
In this case,
guys, I�m going to be talking about shirts.
So, when you want to upgrade the quality of a shirt,
first off let�s look at the fabric.
The fabric you want to pay attention to the mill where the shirts
or basically where the fabric is coming from.
So, in this case, Thomas Mason fabrics, I can tell you when I see this name, this company
founded in 1796.
When I see a company using Thomas Mason fabrics or any particular ones
coming out of certain mills out of Italy, I am just like that is a great indicator because
understand that the fabric is one of the main drivers of price in a shirt.
So, when they use a high
quality fabric like that, you can bet that they�re going to pay attention to everything
else.

So, Ledbury, I know that they use Thomas Mason among some other fabrics that they use, but
that right there instant indicator of quality.
Also, when I�m looking at them, I look at the
buttons.
Are they using mother of pearl or if they�re using a plastic?
Are they making sure that
these buttons are securely sewn?
It sound simple, but you would not believe on cheaper shirts
oftentimes I see it, so that it looks like the buttons are about to come off and you
haven�t even
bought them yet, so look at that.
Look at the actual buttonholes, are they clean or, you know, open up the shirt?
Look inside of it.
Look, you know, I�ve got one of their shirts on right here and I can go in and I can look
at the
stitching, look at the number of stitches per inch.
You want to see at least fourteen preferably
closer to eighteen.
That tells me that they took the time to go slower with the machine and
then, therefore put together a better shirt.
Also, let�s look at the collar.
So, you want to look at the shirt collar and you want to
immediately look underneath.
Do they actually have removable shirt stays?
It seems like such a
small thing, but removable shirt stays indicate to me they spent a little bit more time on
the
collar which is also one of the most important and expensive parts of a shirt and if they
spent
this extra time you can bet that they created a quality product.
The key point here, guys is not
really to take a risk with this gift, but simply give him something that you know he�s
going to
use and take it to another level.
Tip number two.
Evaluate the fit and I mean both the fit of the item in terms of how it fits on
his body and the fit into his lifestyle.
So, first off let�s talk about the fit of the clothing.
Your dad,
if everything in his wardrobe is medium, is large, or whatever it may be, understand that
he�s
going for a sizing system like that, he�s probably settling versus if he actually had
especially on
shirts, on jackets, on many other items out there, you can get more specific fits.
So, go out
there and actually find out maybe your mom can get his measurements maybe you can actually
take one of his pieces of clothing the he loves.
Find the item that when he wears it, it looks
great on him, measure it out and you can go out there and working with certain companies.
Again, Ledbury, they�ve got their own fit guide and I�d love it when a company actually
tells me
what the exact measurements are because then you can give him you can make sure it
replicate, you know, �Why do you like this shirt, dad?� �Oh, it just fits me.
It looks great � I bet
it looks great on.� He takes care of his body and of all the shirts, it�s the only
one that has a
good drop that works with him and you can go into some of these companies and you can
say,
okay, wow, they�ve got � they�ve got a slim fit.
In any case, guys, what you�re looking to do is
help him create a wardrobe of items that are his favorite shirts versus him just having
one or
two.

Now, let�s talk about the second part of fit and how does the clothing he have fit
into his
lifestyle.
Your dad may be retired, he may have taken picked up new hobbies, and he may have
certain items when he goes out golfing when he goes out sailing that he just worn the
same
3
thing again and again.
How about you look at what he�s doing and how his lifestyle has changed
and you actually give him some clothing which suits these new hobbies these new things that
he�s doing and actually make him look great.
So, tip number three to giving the perfect Father�s Day gift is to help him incorporate
a bit of
style incorporate a bit of flair into his wardrobe.
A lot of dads out there they�re pretty
conservative, they don�t want to get outside of the box, they fall into habits.
Help him, if you �
maybe he�s an avid polo wear.
He likes a simple solid colored polo shirt.
Well, how about
bringing him something that is a little bit outside the box, give him a nice polo, but
notice the
contrasting color the distinctive pattern right in here.
We�ve got the contrast on the sleeves.
Small things like these, you know, he may have never thought to pick it up for himself
so maybe
bring in three options.
I�ve got another one right here.

Small things like these, you know, he may have never thought to pick it up for himself
so maybe

I�ve got another one right here. Notice this style detail here? Notice the button
right here on
the collar not only is it functional, but it�s a little bit more stylish, it�s a
little bit more different
than many of the polo shirts you�re going to see out there. Maybe it�s going to be
a color issue,
maybe it�s something that he�s never tried bringing a bit of purple, a bit of lavender,
a bit of,
you know, checks or patterns like this into his wardrobe. If you�re going to do this,
again, try to
give him three options.
When you give somebody a few different outfits to choose from all of a sudden it�s like,
you
know I really like this one, but I�ll probably and maybe give him the ability to return and
exchange some of those items as well. Nothing wrong with that. But, what I like about this
one
is a small pattern, it still is going to actually work with a lot of different combinations
out there,
but by the use of us having a little bit of purple in there it definitely steps outside
of a lot of
men�s boxes.
Now, something like this, I know it maybe a hard on the camera, a little bit difficult
to see, but
what we�ve got is solid blue with white dots. Something like this may really step
out of his
comfort zone, on the other hand, you may find that when your dad puts on the shirt, he�s
like,
wow, I love the way this looks and the guy starts wearing it. I mean at the end of the
day, guys,
you want to make sure and present your father present this dad or whoever you�re going
to
give this gift to even if it�s for yourself, you want to make sure that you give them something
that they�re going to use and they�re going to love. Use these tips, guys, and go
out there and
help them just make this the best Father�s Day gift ever.
All right, guys, that�s it. Let me know what you thought of this video in the comments
down
below and go check out the support article. In the support article, I give you two more
tips
which I didn�t cover in this video. I also link over to all of the items that you saw
in this video.
And if you�re wondering, guys, Ledbury is the company that sent me all of these samples.
I�m
going to link to them right over here. A great company, I�ve been with them for almost
a year.
I�ve got probably eight of their shirts and a number of their sports jackets, their
trousers, ties.
They make � they basically make it so that you can have an entire outfit and I talked
about
interchangeability and in fact, if you want to check out that video, a hundred and twenty
outfits
4
from fourteen pieces of clothing. Probably one of my bet videos out there in which I
talked
about, you know, how to take this clothing and intermix it and match it.
That�s it, guys. I�ll see you in the next video.
