He’ll look cool in a tailor-made suit!

For his Father’s Day gift, send him to have a bespoke suit and shirt made at The Prestigious Bespoke. The team is helmed by Master Tailor and university lecturer Thomas Wong, who has been in the industry for almost 60 years. There’s also Savile Row tailor Rory Duffy; he’s a mentor and co-technical director (previously a coat maker at Henry Poole and lecturer at Parsons School of Fashion).

From design and hand-drafting to sewing, the entire production process is completed at their boutique. You’ll find a wide range of fabrics to choose from, including labels such as Piacenza, Loro Piana, and Holland and Sherry. With two fittings, an initial consultation and collection, a suit will take around six to eight weeks to complete. A shirt takes about two weeks for new customers and one week for returning ones. The tailor who measures during the first appointment is the same one who makes the suit and organises fittings.

Who says guys can’t do pilates? Sign dad or hubby up for classes at OptionsPilates, and we’re sure they’ll be hooked in no time. The primary focus of these workouts is on postural muscles, which are essential for balance and to maintain energy throughout the day. They’re also helpful in preventing backaches and other pain caused by weak posture. A common misconception is that pilates is only for women or not “real” exercise – in fact, the Options instructors love showing male clients just how taxing these exercises can be!

Men particularly enjoy the studio’s mat pilates group classes, one-on-one sessions and Jungle Sports groups – especially the latter. Jungle Sports groups offer suspension training that focuses on stimulating and strengthening the muscular and neuromuscular system. They’re also great for those hoping to enhance their sporting performance. The classes work well as individual exercise routines as well as additions to other workouts. Many of the studio’s male customers continue classes for the long term once they experience the benefits of a stronger back, neck and core.
