Kicking Off The Football Season: Vintage Shoes From Rust Belt Threads.

For football players, choosing the right cleat is important. Same goes with fashion. Choose the wrong shoe and you may end up looking like a sacked quarterback...and that ain't good!

So do yourself a favor and get some vintage shoes from one of our favorite Etsy shops, Rust Belt Threads. After all, who wants to look like a sacked quarterback?!

Let's just go ahead and admit it, we have absolutely no idea what our dad really likes. Sure, he graciously accepts the generic tie or dress shirt. And he smiles with glee whenever bags of pistachios are presented (surely this isn't just my dad, right?). But we think the dads of this world deserve something uniquely special this year, wouldn't you agree?

And we've found just the thing--vintage! More specifically, industrial vintage from VintageSeventyFive's Etsy shop. And by the way, we absolutely love this shop! Honestly, what's not to love about these potential Father's Day gems: vintage scales, numbers, trophies, storage containers, and one of our personal faves, vintage cash register flags.

Do yourself (and your dad) a favor and pay a visit to VintageSeventyFive. It's time to end the generic gift-giving cycle. Trust us, your dad will thank you!
