Fathers Day Over £100 by Donaghys
At this budget, you're not buying a gesture — you're buying something he'll genuinely use for the next decade. The gifts on this list are the ones we've watched return again and again as customers come back for the second pair, the next size, or the same coat in a different colour. After sixty-plus years of selling these to the dads of Banbridge, here's the shortlist.
If we had to name one over-£100 boot for Father's Day, it's a Blundstone Chelsea — the 510 in black, the 585 or 587 in rustic brown. Easy on, easy off, leather that improves with age, and a sole that handles a muddy garden as well as a long drive. Around £175 to £195. A genuinely meaningful gift; he'll wear them most days for years.
The Barbour Powell or Lutz quilted jacket is one of those gifts that becomes part of his everyday wardrobe — worn over a jumper for the school run, with a shirt for the pub, with a coat in the depths of winter. Around £199. Get the size right and you've nailed it.
For the dad who's been talking about getting "a proper Barbour" for years, this is the gift. Wax cotton, properly made, the jacket he'll re-wax annually and wear for thirty years. Beaufort and Bedale are the classic men's silhouettes. A bigger commitment, but the gift he'll mention every time someone compliments it.
If he runs — even occasionally — or stands all day at work, a pair of Hoka trainers is one of the best comfort gifts you can give. If you're unsure on size or width, pair with a gift card.
When the right gift is a real piece of footwear or clothing but you're not certain on size, colour, or fit, a higher-value gift card lets him pick exactly what he wants. Donaghys gift cards have no expiry date, cover the full range across men's, women's and kids', and can be used in store or online. The digital version is delivered by email within minutes — useful for last-minute Father's Day mornings.
UK delivery is typically two to three working days. For higher-value gifts especially, we'd recommend visiting our Banbridge store if you're nearby — easier to talk through sizes, fits and colours with the team
