Believe it or not, another Father's Day is right around the corner. And, if you're anything like us, you might be slacking a little bit. With the clock ticking toward zero faster than ever, we're here to help.
While we're partial to some of our favorite dad-ready options – like the
Minimalist Pocket Tee and brand-new
Builder Shirt – we're all about spreading the love at Pistol Lake.
Today, we're highlighting some awesome brands and better people in our first-ever Father's Day Guide to Greatness. Even better, each capsule comes with a dad tax – so take a peek behind the curtain and feast your eyes on some fatherly lovin' down below.

Say hi to Ergatta's very own Prasanna with his little one in the adorable Ergatta onesie - hard to beat.
At-home fitness has exploded over the last year, but
Ergatta does it better than anybody else. While stationary bikes long dominated the game, this rowing machine will make you sweat, compete harder, and feel great.
One of the biggest obstacles to exercise is, of course, going outside to do it after a grueling day of work, errands, or responsibilities. Those struggles are those of the past, and once you're done with it, you can stow it away to easily blend right in with the room decor.
Go head-to-head with friends or set a new personal record, these machines have the potential to change a few lives this Father's Day season.

Up next, we've got our bud Mark from Evermill with his newborn baby, Poppy.
Mark explained to us, that over at
Evermill they believe that the food we cook shapes our culture, builds our communities, and connects us as individuals – and we'll drink to that!
They've put together three of their most popular blends just in time for summer. Snag some Steak Rub, Evermill Blend, and Harissa Blend to treat yourself with some major spice flavor.
If your dad is looking to up his grill game this June, nudge him in the right direction here.

If you're looking for some fine grooming tools, then look no further. Our guy Eric Bandholz from Beardbrand and his son Klaus got you. I mean, look at that hair. You have to trust that.
Beardbrand needs no introduction, so we'll get right to the point: these guys will make your dad look great. Whether he's looking for beard, hair, or skin assistance, their Temple Smoke brings the fire.
From shampoos to softeners and everything in-between, Beardbrand has the goods that'll keep the dad in your life looking clean, tidy, and more handsome than ever before.

Let's keep it rollin'.. shall we? Here we have Paul & Ezra from Brothers Artisanal.
Finding fantastic, healthy beef jerky was once a difficult task – but that's a problem of the past with
Brothers Artisanal. Whatever your jerky-loving heart desires, they've got it.
No, seriously, they have beef, salmon, pork, and turkey – what are you waiting for?
Even cooler, between now and Father's Day, you'll get 20%-off all jerky at the Brothers Artisanal website. That's a sweet meat deal you can't pass up.

Next up, our pal Paul over at Ledbury with his two sweet kiddos and they have dreamed up something mighty wonderful with their
Guava Daven Tropical Short Sleeve Shirt.
Although we focus on Minimalist-styled basics, we're insanely jealous of the tropical, sunny vibes this particular piece gives off.
As they mention themselves: "Featuring a lightweight, breezy fabric with a dash of stretch to keep you cool and comfortable, The Daven is a fun, on-the-go style for the season. This surf blue short-sleeve style will quickly become a wardrobe favorite."
We're also pretty biased, but this one would pair well with a Minimalist Tank Top underneath – cough cough, hint hint.

Last but not least, we're rounding out the bunch with The Bouqs Co. for a special twist on the proceedings. And you know what? Men don't get enough flowers and it's time for that to change.
These wonderful folks are sure to bring a glow to your dad's face this Father's Day as they're running a special day-of deal and you'd be better off by checking it out. Try surprising your dad or brother with a nice bouquet, we promise it'll be unlike any gift they've gotten before!
And as a bonus, we're featuring Christina Foster – the awesome and cool fiancé of our CEO, Ryan Light. Christina, one of The Bouqs Co.'s Graphic Designers, is pictured above with her father.

Happy Father's Day to all that will celebrate and be celebrated this month!
We're grateful for all that you do, have done, and are yet to do. You make us stronger, wiser, and better people each and everyday, so on behalf of all the companies and brands mentioned here: Thank you!
Now go have a beer and kick those feet up.
Take Less. Do More.
