"Gifts for him" is one of the most-searched gift phrases in the UK, with RankHero estimating around 27,100 searches a month (RankHero). The trouble is that a lot of gift guides are full of gadgets that end up in a drawer. Clothing he loves gets worn every week. Here is how to choose it, and what to look at.
Why clothes make a good gift (when you get them right)
A well-chosen piece of clothing says you know his style. The risk is fit and taste, and both are easier to manage than you think: check what he already wears, compare measurements, and pick something that suits his personality.
1. A statement hoodie
The single most-worn piece in most men's winter wardrobes. A hoodie with a design that means something is more personal than a plain one.
For the ambitious one
The Zenitron Hoodie carries a focus on high achievement. It is part of our Experimental Collection of Classic Cotton hoodies, £95 at the time of writing.
For the one who lives in black
The organic hoodies in Nouveau Noir 2075 are 85% organic cotton and 15% recycled polyester, with a brushed fleece inside and a double-layered hood. £125 at the time of writing.
For the one who wants to stand out
White is bold in winter. The Blanc Éclat Society hoodies are the white counterpart to Nouveau Noir.
2. A graphic tee
A good tee is an easy gift and a safe price point. Our DCR Society tees are 100% cotton, 200 g/m², pill resistant, with better colour retention after washing than regular cotton. £59 at the time of writing, XS to 5XL.
3. Knitwear with a twist
For the man who likes a jumper but not a boring one, our Born On Mars knitwear features futuristic embroidery on a knitted crew neck: a 450 g/m², 55% cotton and 45% polyester knit. £110 at the time of writing.
4. A cap
One size, low risk, easy to wrap. Our Culture Overdose caps are 100% cotton with an adjustable strap, £45 at the time of writing.
5. Build a full outfit
If you want to go all out, put together a full look:
- A graphic hoodie
- A pair of good dark jeans
- A black leather belt
- A cap
That is exactly how we style our hoodies: with expensive-looking jeans and a belt. It turns a gift into an outfit he can wear straight away.
Getting the size right without asking
Check a hoodie he already wears
Lay it flat, measure armpit to armpit and top of shoulder to hem, and compare with the chart on the product page.
Know the fit
Our Classic Cotton hoodies run small, so size up one. Our organic hoodies have a comfortable unisex fit. Full charts are on our size guide.
If in doubt, size up
A slightly roomy hoodie looks relaxed; a tight one does not get worn.
And if it does not fit, returns are free within 30 days of delivery.
Gifts by personality
The night-out one
A black hoodie from Nouveau Noir, or a DCR Society tee for the club.
The car lover
A statement hoodie for meet season and a cap for show days.
The gym regular
Our Army 2075 training shorts or a SuperSport rash guard, alongside a hoodie for after the session.
The thoughtful one
Someone who cares how clothes are made will appreciate that every Vazzari piece is made to order: nothing is made until it is ordered, and there are no unsold piles.
When to order for Christmas
Every Vazzari piece is made after you order it, and the making time is included in our delivery estimates. Most UK orders arrive in about 5 to 7 working days; further destinations usually take 7 to 14 working days. These are estimates, not guarantees, and the run-up to Christmas is a busy time for carriers. Order early to be safe. Royal Mail and other carriers publish their own last posting dates each year, so check those too.

Wrapping and presentation
Made-to-order pieces arrive in their own parcel, so plan time to wrap them. A hoodie folded neatly with tissue paper and a handwritten note explaining why you picked that design (Zenitron for the ambitious one, Lunaris for the night owl) makes the gift feel more personal than the price tag ever could.
