50 Hard-Earned Lessons in Fatherhood

The floating sauna, a certain set of fans drank all of Boston's beer, and more...

For the dads here at Huckberry, Father’s Day is a reminder that none of us knew what we were doing on day one. Fatherhood is a practice—something you work at, day in and day out, learning along the way. So we asked fathers in our community to share the wisdom they’ve gained, the only way you can: by going through it. The 50 Hard-Earned Lessons we compiled on The Journal isn’t a list full of advice, though you'll find plenty. It’s more so a collection of truths, sometimes arrived at too late to be of any use to you, but plenty useful to the next guy you’ll tell it to.

Flint and Tinder designed the Basin Swim Trunk as a versatile homage to the original hybrid shorts of the '60s and '70s—the kind of rugged, all-purpose gear meant for knocking around town before taking a spontaneous dip in a local watering hole. Rooted in anything-goes utility, these shorts feature a durable 100% nylon shell, a flexible mesh liner that balances support with breathability, and a rear snap pocket to keep essentials secure. They’re the rare pair that easily handles the hike in, can hit the cliff diving spot, and dries out in time for the journey home.

The new Terra Slip-On from LUCA is as put-together as a loafer, as comfortable as a buttery suede slide, and packs flat in a carry-on—a combo that’s tough to beat this summer travel season. Handsewn in Portugal, it’s crafted with an Italian suede upper and super-comfortable Lactae Hevea rubber outsole harvested in the south of France. Plus, the supple leather footbed is supportive enough for all-day wear. Slip them on for dinner down the road or the redeye to Rome—and explore more from LUCA’s summer collection below.
