Father’s Day celebrated on 19 June 2011 across several countries world over and as the name suggests is a day dedicated to honor and thank your father or that father figure in your like an uncle or neighbor for his wonderful contribution to your life. It is a great time to let your father know just how much you truly value and respect him.

As David Gottesman says, “Fathers, like mothers, are not born. Men grow into fathers and fathering is a very important stage in their development.”

This man is someone who loves you and has created you and has sacrificed a huge deal to get you where you are today. Father’s Day is a wonderful way to thank him and gift him something as a token of your appreciation. Your old man deserves a well thought of gift – something that he will love and cherish for years. An ideal father’s day gift would be a great leather jacket.

Unlike flowers which wilt away in a while or a photograph which is kept on a table somewhere, a leather jacket is something that your father will remember every time he wears it. Do remember that a leather jacket outlives a fabric like denim. A good quality leather jacket can last for up to 40 years.

Leather jackets are available in a huge range of designs and patterns. You could buy your old man a leather bomber jacket or if he is a bike enthusiast a nice motorcycle leather jacket or if you are just unsure of what he would like then a casual leather jacket that would go over everything.

When you are buying a leather jacket for your dad try and pick out something sober, smart and elegant. Opt for either a black or a brown shade – something that will match everything. Also, do keep in mind your dad’s tastes and choices. Don’t get something too flashy with zips and chains or something too youthful which you might wear.

Your dad is bound to love the fact that you have got him a leather jacket. It is a safe yet invaluable gift – something that he can both use and treasure forever.
