The Ascot is the men's UGG: a closed moccasin in suede with a sheepskin lining and a rubber sole, so it goes outside without falling apart and stays warm without getting sweaty. It is the slipper men never buy for themselves and wear every day once they have it, which makes it the reliable gift for the men who are hard to buy for.
It lands at Christmas for a dad, grandfather or husband, on Father's Day when the tie is out of the question, and as an anniversary gift for a man whose current slippers are embarrassing.
Whole sizes, true to shoe size, and the listing shown is black in a 7, so pick his size and color from the options. The lining packs down and molds to the foot over the first month. The price is the price of sheepskin, and these last five winters.
