A Bluetooth Speaker, Leatherized

Zeppelin. Parliament. Lorde. Whatever your dad’s into, he needs a leather-wrapped Bluetooth speaker to listen to it on. This one, in fact. It’s meant to look like a ’60s transistor radio... wrapped in glorious cow.

“Oh, look, you have the same old-timey, painted-silver-buggy-car cufflinks as I do.”
