The Essential Father’s Day Gift Guide – For the Big Man Who Deserves It All.
Jun
Father’s Day is more than just an annual calendar event—it’s a chance to pause, appreciate, and celebrate the strength, wisdom, and love of the man who raised you (or helped raise someone great). Whether you call him Dad, Pops, Oupa, or Bonus Dad—he deserves something thoughtful and useful.
That’s where Big Man Outfitters comes in. We make it easy to shop for fathers who need a proper fit, quality gear, and classic style. If your dad isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of guy, you’re in the right place.
Here’s your go-to gift guide for every kind of big man:
The Classic Tee Upgrade
Dads live in T-shirts. So why not replace the worn-out favourites with high-quality, soft, durable options made specifically for big builds? Our Kubwa T-Shirts and plain tees are breathable, flattering, and available in sizes up to 9XL. It’s a daily essential, made better.
Perfect for: Everyday wear, weekend braais, or just lounging in comfort.
A Jacket That Actually Fits
If your dad dreads winter because jackets “never sit right,” we get it. From windbreakers to smart casual layers, a properly fitting jacket is a game-changer. Look for features like roomy cuts, longer lengths, and stretch-friendly materials that offer both warmth and confidence.
Perfect for: Dads who enjoy outdoor walks, watching the game, or keeping stylish during colder months.
Shoes That Don’t Cram His Style
Finding shoes in bigger sizes can be a challenge—especially if you want comfort and style. Look for well-cushioned sneakers, leather vellies, or versatile slip-ons in sizes that actually go up to UK15.
Perfect for: Active dads, fashion-conscious dads, or those who just want a shoe that doesn’t squeeze.
Accessories That Work Hard
Socks that actually fit the calf. Belts that aren’t on their last hole. Caps with a deeper crown. These are the little things that make a big difference. A gift box filled with quality accessories shows that you’ve paid attention to the details.
Perfect for: The dad who’s always on the move—and always losing his cap.
Travel or Adventure Gear
For dads who love camping, fishing, road-tripping, or just being outdoors, practical gifts like a good overnight bag, insulated water bottle, or fleece-lined hoodie can go a long way. Choose items that match his lifestyle and hobbies.
Perfect for: The adventurer, the bakkie-packer, the man who always has a plan.
🎁 Bonus Idea: Build a Custom Bundle
Make it personal. Combine a few items into a curated gift bundle tailored to your dad’s personality:
The Relaxed Weekender: Tee + Shorts + Slides
The Sunday Braaier: Polo + Cap + Apron
The Winter Warrior: Hoodie + Jacket + Thick Socks
Add a handwritten note, his favourite biltong, or even a voucher for a lunch out—it’s the thought that counts.
