Shopping for ethically made or socially-responsible men’s brands can be tricky (so you’ve told us, anyways!) so we decided to make this Father’s Day a little easier for you. Below, we’ve curated a list of items including notebooks, socks, sweaters and subscriptions, all of which you can feel good about getting for the father in your life!

2 / Key Cover in Caramel by Bellroy - Bellroy is a B Corp Certified company that designs simple carrying items. This key-cover fits 4-8 keys stacked and allows them to hinge out (much like a pocket-knife)!
