(That don’t suck!)
Finding the perfect gift for Dad can be tough. Especially when it seems like he has everything. At Knotty Tie Co, we’re taking the classic necktie to the next level with customizable designs that dads will truly love. From neckties and bow ties to pocket squares and suspenders, these aren’t just gifts, they’re keepsakes.
When you give Dad a Knotty Tie, it’s not just something he’ll wear; it’s something he’ll treasure. Whether it’s a customized pattern that reflects his personality or a custom design with special meaning, it’s a gift he’ll love to show off to everyone who will listen.
Customize Patterns That Highlight His Passions
Does your dad have a favorite color? Or maybe a favorite hobby? Create a tie or bow tie that reflects his unique personality and passions with our customizable options. Here are some popular collections to inspire you:
Sports & Hobbies
For dads who are passionate about their favorite pastimes, a thoughtful tie can be a great way to reflect their interests. From simple sports themed designs inspired by golf or pickleball to a pattern with guitars highlighting his passion for music. These designs add personality to his outfit and let him celebrate what he loves in a stylish way.
Food & Drink
Whether he can be found at the grill perfecting his barbecue skills or enjoying a craft beer after a long day, this collection of patterns captures his love for food and drink. Playful patterns like "grilling with friends" or "beer hops" bring out his personality while still being versatile enough for any occasion, especially when colored with wearability in mind.
Animals
For the animal loving dad, our collection of animal-inspired designs may be an ideal gift option. A design featuring his beloved dog's breed in colors that resemble his furry friend may fit seamlessly into his everyday look. Or a pattern like "bear in the woods" can be a subtle reminder of that amazing close encounter you had together when hiking.
Military
Honor his service with a tie that symbolizes his dedication. Military-inspired designs, from camouflage to uniform-inspired patterns, can be customized to reflect his journey in the service, creating a meaningful gift that resonates with his story.
Use our easy-to-navigate customizer tool to adjust colors, patterns, and themes, making it easy to create a tie that’s as unique as your dad. Whether it’s a subtle nod to his favorite hobby or a bold design that reflects his personality, this personalized touch will make your gift for Dad unforgettable.
Add Monograms For A Personal Touch
Personalizing a gift with a monogram, like your dad's initials, a special date, or a meaningful acronym, transforms it into a timeless keepsake. Whether it’s for a milestone like a birthday, anniversary, or retirement, a simple addition like this shows thoughtfulness and care, making items like ties or pocket squares both functional and sentimental.
Go Fully Custom With A Photo Or One-Of-A-Kind Pattern
Is dad so unique that he is actually impossible to shop for? No problem. Go fully custom by incorporating his favorite hobbies, cherished memories, or even a special photo. Upload your own images or collaborate with our expert designers to create a one-of-a-kind pattern. Got a child's or grandchild's artwork? We can transform it into a tie he'll proudly wear. Our designers will guide you every step of the way!
Pro Tip: Sizing matters! Choosing the right sizing ensures dad’s gift isn’t just thoughtful, but it also ensures he'll be comfortable and enjoy wearing his custom accessories for years to come. We offer multiple lengths and widths for most of our products, so be sure to pick the correct fit for your dad's build. Here's why it matters:
A customer once shared their experience ordering an extra-long, custom tie for their dad, who struggled with off-the-rack options. Not only did the tie fit perfectly, but it also came in a special pattern designed just for him which he absolutely adored!
