Father’s Day Gift Guide: 191 Unlimited

Tim’s typical “uniform” is jeans and a dress shirt – for most anywhere we go.

I like his “signature style” a lot (he’d never call it that, by the way…but it is what it is). He looks put-together, professional, and down-to-earth – all at the same time.

One of his favorites shirts is the Newport by 191 Unlimited, a relatively new (est. 2002) boutique designer that specializes in button-up shirts for men and boys (they also sell tees, skinny ties, and bottoms). The shirts have a great fit and unique detailing, which set them apart from the run-of-the-mill pieces you will find in shopping malls.

I’m going to highlight pieces from the Sale section of the website because they’re better-priced (and still in-season).

All Men’s Sale Shirts currently retail for $59 (regular price = $89).

The boys shirts are equally awesome…and some of them are made to “match” dad’s shirts (note that the third one is a “mini” version of the Newport):

  1. SANDY says:

    Wow those are sweet shirts- love the selection and they look nice on your hubs.

  2. Danielle says:

    My friends husband has one of these shirts and it looks GREAT on him! The quality is amazing. Would really like to give one of these to my best guy friend. He needs some new clothes (and a new sense of style.. but dont tell him that… ) ;)

  3. Marcela says:

    Jeremiah really wants this hairstyle ( :

    The shirts look nice, I am sure hubby would love one.

  4. ruthy ann says:

    I don’t think my husband has ever had a new shirt…he gets them all from goodwill. I’d love to get this, wash it a few times and then give it to him as a “used” gift :) (he’d only love it if he thought it was used) isn’t that too funny?

  5. Kristi C says:

    My husband would love the Mr. Smith shirt.

  6. Niki Z says:

    Love these! My husband’s style has become so “corporate”. He needs to add something great to his wardrobe.

  7. Carol says:

    I’d actually want these for my older son, this is his style. Thanks for the chance to win.

  8. Lisa says:

    These shirts are a little pricey, so I doubt that I would have purchased one. However, I appreciate the chance to win one for my Dad to give it a try!

  9. Janice Whitaker says:

    I like their hair!!! I like those shirts too!

  10. Sarah D. says:

    My son could use some new dress shirts.

  11. Melinda H says:

    These shirts look really nice! I would love to win one for my husband.

  12. Jordan Brower says:

    Those are fabulous shirts, I don’t wear shirts often but would love to try them out!

  13. Vanessa says:

    I love those shirts! That would be great! And I’m loving the longer hair on the boys!;)

  14. zmama says:

    Those are some stylish casual shirts!!

  15. Nini Lettner says:

    Your grandpa is awesome! That made me laugh out loud! These shirts are nice! My hubby lives in jeans and t-shirts 98% of the time. The other 2% is spent in long sleeve, button up shirts…when we go somewhere other than Home Depot, grocery shopping, etc. He likes to put on a nice shirt when he has dates with our daughter…that is my favorite!

  16. Nanette Olson says:

    The shirts are really nice.

  17. Annette L says:

    My son has reach adult sizes. (Insert silent scream.) He’d totally go for something stylin’ like this! So I wouldn’t use it for Father’s Day . . . um, oops?

  18. jennifer says:

    I agree with you- the button down shirt always looks so pulled together and down to earth! I am loving the look of these! – and yes, I would agree with your grandpa- those boys need a hair cut!

  19. Betsy says:

    My oldest son is about ready to outgrow his dress shirts. Those boy’s do need a haircut.

  20. cathiem says:

    These shirts would look good on either son.

  21. Ashleigh says:

    Ohhh, my husband would look so sexy in one of those shirts. Seriously, I’ve got a keeper over here. He can wear pretty much anything, but it helps when it’s something as cute as these shirts.

  22. Kristie says:

    I really like their shirts!! I could see my husband in the Taking Charge shirt, Style: SS134!

  23. Jessicah says:

    Hm, Noel is more of a polo and khaki shorts guy, but maybe I could talk him into wearing one of these, because I LOVE them! He just has this goal of never having to wear “real shoes” (aka anything but flip flops) when he’s not at work, hence the shorts… :)

  24. Sarah says:

    I am a big fan of that look as well – the jeans and a dress shirt. It looks so good!!

    My fiance’s birthday is in June, so I’m not looking for a Father’s Day gift (maybe in a few years…) but I am looking for an awesome birthday gift! A dress shirt is a great idea.

  25. Mommy2Bears says:

    My husband is a SAHD so a nice shirt like this would be considered dressing up for him now. Man I want him to dress up.

  26. phxbne says:

    Cool shirts – would help my husband get away from the boring stripes!

  27. Melinda J says:

    My husband’s signature style is a dress shirt left open over a Disneyland tshirt with jeans. I love it!

  28. Nancy S. says:

    That little blond boy looks Oh-So-Not-Thrilled to be where he is…lol!

    Awesome shirts. Can’t wait to check out the website!!

  29. Autumn B. says:

    I love that they have little boy clothes too (that are cute) – it’s SO hard to find good boy clothing!

    autumn398 @ yahoo.com

  30. Blessing says:

    They have little boy clothes too? They are officially my favorite. The husband will definitely love this. I might just give it to him during Military Training graduation if I win this!

    blessing@safehomehappymom.com

  31. shel says:

    My husband would love the “No Place Like Home” shirt…he’s usually a tshirt and shorts kind of guy but he cleans up well.

  32. We have one of the boys shirts and it looks amazing on my son! I would love to have one for hubby too!

  33. Erica says:

    Chris looks great in that style, too! He could also really use some new shirts since his body has changed so much (lost weight and buffed up) over the last couple years. I’d love to get him a great new shirt and stand next to my hottie hubby. :)

  34. NGS says:

    My husband is super skinny. I can count his ribs. Sometimes this makes me jealous, but then I realize that he has so much trouble shopping, he just doesn’t do it at all. I’d love to be able to get him something that would fit him just right!

  35. Blessed says:

    Your husband’s style and my Dad’s style are pretty much identical… except that Daddy doesn’t have many jeans so he often wears a button up shirt with whatever colored jean/khaki like pants he happens to grab, unfortunately he doesn’t always match… :) But, we love him anyway! (Oh and since Mom won’t buy him jeans we girls have been giving him jeans for every occasion so that now he matches more often than not!)

    Hubby usually wears jeans and a pull over shirt so if I won this I’d probably pick the “Bad Chemistry” shirt and give it to my Daddy.

  36. Lisa says:

    These shirts look nice for my husband or son. Hhhhhmmmm….if I win, who should I give it to?

  37. Jenny N. says:

    I would totally agree with your Grandpa! We’re a boys-have-short-hair kind of a family.

    By the way button-ups = awesome when it comes to men, boys or preschoolers! My little guy looks so put together when he puts on a button-up and it makes it easy on my part. Great giveaway!

  38. chelsea says:

    Love it! My hubby gets into a rut with t-shirts, and it drives me crazy. T-shirts are for teenagers, men should wear button downs!
    (I hope that somehow he is reading this!)

  39. Tiffany says:

    Oh, that would be wonderful. My husband wears the same look. I always wonder why he wants to wear long sleeves when it is so hot, but he likes it. I’ve actually been getting concerned about gifts for him because Father’s Day and his birthday are only a couple of days apart.

  40. susan varney says:

    these would look good on my grandson mverno@roadrunner.com

  41. erin says:

    My husband is generally a t-shirt or polo guy because neither of us want to iron that often. Ha!!
    But, these are cool. I’d love to give him the Dropkick.

  42. Becca says:

    My husband started his first “real” job a year ago, after finishing grad school. It’s getting better, but for the most part his wardrobe still looks like a grad student wardrobe. These shirts would go a long way to making him look more professional.

  43. Jeanette Huston says:

    These shirts are so awesome. I am caught between buying one for my son or husband. Maybe both. I lke the middle one of the mens but some of the boys are cute too.

  44. Abbi says:

    My husband wears dress shirts everyday for work so winning this would be wonderful!

  45. Deborah Buckingham says:

    It is hard to find great little boy shirts in stores. These look great and stylish. Thanks for the recommendation.

  46. shel772 says:

    Definitely the type of shirt my son would enjoy.

  47. Wehaf says:

    I like the shirts, but I agree with your grandpa – those boys need some haircuts, or at least some hairbrushes. how can they see anything?

  48. Crystal Warren says:

    I love a cool patterned button-up shirt worn with jeans..one of my favorite looks for a man. And you all obviously don’t have boys of preteen and teenage years because that hair is short compared to most!!! Darn Zac Efron!! I threaten to cut my son’s hair in his sleep sometimes!!

  49. Joshua M. says:

    I’m getting ready to start a new job (where I need to look spiffy all day every day). This would help me out a lot. Thanks!

  50. Kathleen says:

    I really like these shirts, especially since my husband has lost some weight over the past year or so, his shirts are mostly too big.

  51. Nicolle B. says:

    So cute! I’d love to get matching ones for my son and hubby :)

  52. Krista S. says:

    This would be great for my husband OR my Dad. Both are always looking for nice new dress shirts, and these look great.

  53. Denise B. says:

    The “Courageous” shirt would be perfect for my husband.

  54. Madeline says:

    Stephan is a med tech, so he can generally be found in scrubs. But, on his days off his favorite outfits are jeans and button up shirts.

  55. Meg T says:

    My husband used to wear a plaid just like the “bottle rocket” and I’ve been searching for it. Hooray. His old one is as thin as tissue paper now. Thanks!

  56. Joseph says:

    My favorite is the Men’s “Worthy Opponent” – Style: SS139 – $89.00 – they look like they are great quality fabric and would last for years compared to department store brand shirts.

  57. Jennifer says:

    Their shirts are so sleek and modern!! I love the unique look to them all!

  58. Carrington says:

    These shirts are awesome, my husband still wears ones from high school- so yes, this would be awesome to have

  59. Joy says:

    That’s Aarons “signature look” too and that boy in the middle DOES need a haircut!

  60. spb says:

    There is nothing cuter that matching Dads and their boys! I am always trying to coordinate outfits for church on Sundays or when we go out as a family…it’s hard to find exact matches! This would be a totally fun gift for my husband (and my son, AND me!).

  61. Krista says:

    Well, I like the one called “Bad Chemistry”. Hilarious! Unfortunately I doubt these would fit… why can’t designers make shirts in tall sizes? :(

  62. Letessha says:

    I love their shirts. I have never shopped there before though. I want to get some shirts for the guys at home.

  63. CMC says:

    What great shirts – and no guy can ever have too many!

  64. mary shepard says:

    Here is another great gift idea, and my husband could really use a nice dress shirt.

  65. Nanci K says:

    My husband needs to add a little color to his closet.

  66. Susan C says:

    I would choose the Crazy Train shirt for my boyfriend. It’s such a nice looking shirt!

  67. Nancy says:

    Any shirt would look great on my husband. He needs a style makeover! Thanks for the opportunity.

  68. tiffany says:

    I could see my husband in the “vacation” shirt. Nice stuff!

  69. Christine says:

    love that they have little boy clothes

  70. Staci A says:

    Their shirts look so comfortable, yet stylish! My son would love me to get one to match his daddy! Such a cute idea.

  71. Susan Park says:

    I don’t think these are my husband’s style, but I really like them and would wear it!

  72. Sara says:

    I love that these shirts have the trendy hip look without looking like a Beiber look alike!! Ha! My husband would look super in one!

  73. Jennifer says:

    when I got to the comment about your granddad I cracked up, well played girl, well played.

  74. Shirleyf says:

    my husband has been dying for a new favorite shirt!

  75. sara says:

    The button-up “western” style shirts are just about the only ones my husband will wear!

  76. Jeanine says:

    Their shirts are so stylish. My husband would look great in one.

  77. Monique Rizzo says:

    This would make a nice gift for my hubby for his birthday..
    Thanks for the chance.

  78. LauraPlum says:

    Very cool… anbd i was thinking the same thing about the boys’ hair :)

  79. Chris says:

    I’m always in need of some nice new shirts.

  80. Kimberly says:

    These shirts look very nice. I love it when guys wear a nice shirt with jeans as a signature look. It’s so classy but not stuck up. :)

  81. Annette E says:

    I think that my husband would really like the Chicago shirt.

  82. Ames says:

    I agree with grandpa – they do need haircuts :)

  83. angie says:

    I love the variety of shirts, one for each occasion.

  84. Diane says:

    I know he would love the Defender! He really needs more “dressy” shirts for when we go out!

  85. Stacy says:

    My DH needs a wardrobe makeover. This would be a wonderful start!

  86. Erin E. says:

    I really like these shirts,and can’t wait to browse more of them. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

  87. Erin M. says:

    I can’t get past the names on these bad boys, haha–They make shopping for men sound…well, masculine!

  88. Tonya Trummer says:

    A decent shirt can make even the scruffiest looking guy look dateable.

  89. mickeyfan says:

    One of these would surely help jazz up hubby’s wardrobe. He has a tendency to pick the most ghastly shirts!

  90. Melissa Butler says:

    Great shirts!!! My husband would be so stylish ~

  91. Christina says:

    The shirts at the site look wonderful! Anyone would be proud to give this as a Father’s Day gift!

  92. ky2here says:

    We are SO ready for some shirts that don’t come from a retailer whose name ends in ‘mart’. Thanks for the opportunity.

  93. Jennifer W. says:

    What cool shirts!! I would pick the No Place Like Home shirt for my hubby.

  94. carmen says:

    Oh I love that first shirt on the left (in the “for dad’s” photo). That would look GREAT on my husband. Thanks for sharing this new company; I wasn’t familiar with them previously.

  95. Pauline M says:

    These shirts are also perfect for a little “dressed up” look (compared to the typical t-shirts) for two upcoming weddings we will be attending. They look great and perfect for dressing up or down!

  96. Happi Shopr says:

    Hubs would totally rock the “Taking Charge” shirt.

  97. John S. says:

    My son liked the Triumph Boys shirt; he would look good in it. Thanks for the chance.

  98. Aisling says:

    I love the “No Place Like Home”, but I think my husband would resist wearing it. ;-) He’d be much more comfortable in any of the others. And the boys’ shirts are really stylish too.

  99. shawna says:

    My hubby needs lots of help in the clothing department, this would be nice for our upcoming family pics.

  100. Jennifer M says:

    My husband would look great in one of those.

  101. gina says:

    My husband always seems to need new clothes & these shirts look great. He would be so happy to win one & he would wear it well.

  102. Kathy Scott says:

    My son would like to just wear tshirts every day. Mom would like to see him dress up occasionally.

  103. Angela Winesburg says:

    I love these shirts, my husband could really use a nice dress shirt! I’d love to give him one for Father’s day!

  104. katie s. says:

    My guy isn’t exactly a snappy dresser, so getting him a nice shirt for the rare occasion that he needs one would be great. 191 Unlimited does look like they have quality craftsmanship garments. Thanks.

  105. Viva says:

    I have never heard of this brand before. After checking out their site, I’ve signed up for their mailing list because they have stylish products for “young and old”. Thanks!

  106. Julie K says:

    The shirts are great for my trendy husband. I know he’d like them. As soon as my son cares a little more about his style (he’s 11) I know he would want to dress like his dad. Thanks!

  107. Tom Mangan says:

    The tried and truth shirt is a great look, but I worry my 21 year old and 17 year old will “borrow” it.

  108. Rachel Higgs says:

    great looking shirts. My husband likes to dress nice too. He says your clothes reflect what others think of you.

  109. Tammy says:

    The boys shirts are absolutely adorable, how cute for a dress up occasions or family photos. I especially like the boys Triumph shirt.

  110. Trina C says:

    It would be great to be able to get matching shirts for my husband and son, we are doing family portraits next month.

  111. Michael says:

    I don’t believe I’ve ever worn a shirt that costs $90. I have, however, often wondered if such a shirt is worth the price it carries… :)

  112. Julie Jones says:

    Every man needs a nice dress shirt they can grab out of the closet and know it’s going to look good! Unfortunately, my man is not one of them.

  113. Kate says:

    My boyfriend would love a good quality shirt like this for father’s day! What a great gift idea.

    I’ve not tried anything from 191 Unlimited yet however they have some attractive clothing

  125. Carrie says:

    My husband wears dress shirts for work and he is always looking for somethig not so cookie cutter. I think he would love these
