Dad Brackets Round 2 - The Ultimate Dad Essentials (1 Viewer)

I've been a dad for over half my life now but the only one that applies to me is not asking for directions.

Everyone asks for directions these days...aka uses their phone or navigation software. Throw to the past Dad's essentials, but not applicable anymore.
 
The vast majority of these do not apply to me. But there is one that is caught my eye. Perhaps a blind spot. Let’s say I’m wearing a nice pair of jeans and some Sambas to go out to dinner. What socks am I supposed to wear? Because in the winter, I wear athletic socks like the ones pictured and I’m guessing that is a total dad thing?
 
We had a lot of talk about making the New Balance and Monarchs their own things. But felt like too much. Also wondered if Dad Shoes should have been a more general one.
Just by the term I have no idea what Monarchs are. I probably know what they are but for the life of me just reading this sentence I have no idea what these things are (other than butterflies but I am sure that is not what is meant).

I didn't know the model name either. But Nike Monarchs are the white dad shoes like the New Balance Dad Shoes https://www.cntraveler.com/story/best-new-balance-dad-shoes
 
Some of our younger guys more into sneakers said we had to include the Monarchs as their fans are passionate.
 
Reading glasses should topple the #1 seed

Moms have those as well though.
What’s your point? They’re even more needed? My readers are probably the most necessary accessory I have.

It’s an over 40 human accessory. Not a quintessentially “dad” accessory.
Women don't lose them so they aren't as important to them.
They also don’t roll around with them on their heads 24/7

Both good points.
 
Big fan of random nuts and bolts and other junk.

That's a great illustration of how these are tough. I told them to boot that entry off the list as I didn't think anyone would vote for it but it did ok.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve said something along the lines of “oh yeah, I have that size screw. Hold on.”
