In honor of Father's Day, we decided to thank our dads. Not for their wisdom, or their financial support, or their jokes, but for something else: their closets. We asked nine GQ editors to pick the pieces dad passed down, or that they stole, that they still wear today. Dad style is all around us—and sometimes it even looks pretty damn good.

A Parka That Doubles as Vintage Streetwear

I won’t beat around the bush: I learned everything I know about how to dress from my very stylish parents. There’s my mom, an island child of Jamaica and lover of fine fabrics and prints, and then my father, the skate rat with a love of sneakers and graphic tees well before anyone called it “streetwear.” This REI parka was an old go-to of his that he would wear when he snowboarded, a perfect mix of utility and style. He gave it to me a few years back, and it has become my de-facto all season rain jacket, worn with a sweater in the winter and shorts in the summer. The Stussy shirt I have on in these photos was also his, a favorite shirt to skate in back when he was a teenager. I would’ve been inspired by the pictures of him alone, but its even better that we can share sizes. —Shakeil Greeley, Channel Manager

The '90s Chain

I have a distant but vivid memory of my dad wearing this chain in the early 90’s, a gift from my mom shortly after they were married. I always used to ask him about it because I thought he looked so damn cool in it. Fast foward 20-plus years and now I proudly wear it! I’m not too sure that I look as cool as I thought he did back in the day. But it's a pretty bad ass chain, so who cares? —Matt Martin, Visuals Editor

A Watch That's Right Twice a Day

My dad gave me his watch—a Movado with a small face, gold trim, with a skinny black leather strap. It’s a handsome little thing. But it doesn’t work. It stopped keeping accurate some six-odd months after he gifted it to me and, for reasons I can’t explain, I still wear it. Sure, donning your father’s broken watch sounds like a metaphor for unresolved paternal issues, but I swear it’s not worth reading into. It’s just an object that looks nice. So there wasn’t any kind of ceremony when Dad asked if I wanted the watch he’d been wearing for over a decade. No talk about it being an heirloom or a hand-me-down. The reason he was giving it up? Dad got a Fitbit—which, in addition to counting the very few steps my dad takes in a day, also tells time. Wearing a watch, he posited, would be redundant. I couldn’t argue with that Dad logic. Like I said, it’s not worth reading into. —Kevin Nguyen, Senior Editor
