<p>Father's Day in India falls on the third Sunday of June. The default gift is a wallet, a watch strap, or a shirt he did not choose, and most fathers already own all three.</p><p>What works better is a shirt with something on it he actually cares about. A tiger. A tree line. A garden. Or his initials stitched onto a cap he will wear without thinking about it.</p><p>These are hand-embroidered cotton shirts, tees and caps, worked in real thread by women artisans in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. No print, no iron-on patch. The embroidery is knotted into the weave, so it does not crack the way a printed shirt does after a summer of washing.</p><p>Made to order. Allow around two weeks, and longer if you want a name or initials stitched.</p>
