This is the first year we're celebrating Father's Day in our little family! I don't seem to have time for a lot of shopping these days, so I still have to head out and find the perfect gift for both my daddy and my hubby (that one will be "from" L, of course!). If you're in the same boat and are looking for a great Father's Day gift - if your hubby is not worried about receiving a "practical" gift, I may have found just the thing!
Dockers has a great new collection of slim, summer styles - perfect no matter what sort of "Dad" you're shopping for!
*The Hipster Dad—check out one of Dockers' slimmest and most streamlined fits (also offered in a range of Summery colors) that was recently featured on the cover of GQ on ‘True Blood’ star, Alexander Skarsgard - The SF Tapered.
*The History-Buff Dad—for this father, try one a limited-edition K-1 pant, which are inspired by the khaki fabrics used by the US Military for uniforms back in the 1930s!
*The “Always-on-the-Go”, Clumsy dad - or the Dad who Travels—why not try the Signature Khaki, which boasts wrinkle resistance! Great for the busy father—and perhaps an even better gift for whoever does his laundry (wink, wink).
*The Golf-loving Dad—try either the Micro-Fiber and Soft Khaki styles. The Micro-Fiber pant is dressy enough for the office, but also sports moisture wicking and UV protection, which makes it a versatile pant for the mid-day visit to the range. The Soft Khaki, meanwhile, combines great summer colors that are perfect for the course with one of the softest, most comfortable twills available.
You can find Dockers in stores like Nordstrom and Kohl's, but if you're looking to shop online, here's something to help you out - Dockers is generously offering My Kansas City Mommy readers a discount of 25% off your purchase when you spend $100 or more! Here's the info:

Dockers sent us a pair of sample pants to check out and since I'm not the one actually wearing them, I asked my hubby to write the review! Here's what he had to say:
Hi, this is Julie's husband. I guess you could call me "My Kansas City Daddy." :)
I received a pair of Dockers Never Iron Essential Khaki in taupe. I hadn't had a new pair of pants in a while and was very excited to have such good quality pants. I immediately tried them on and they fit wonderfully. They are very comfy, yet they still look extremely professional. Many pants out there may be comfy OR professional, but its hard to find a good pair that is both. The color (taupe - or "True Khaki") matches practically anything, so in addition to their comfort and distinguished look, they are also versatile. Versatiliy in pants is a hard-to-find and important quality.
The week I received them, I wore them to work (at the library). My job requires a variety of sitting, standing, and walking, and these pants worked very well. They fit right in all the right places. Many dress pants get "static"-y quickly, but not these khakis. By the end of the day, they were static and wrinkle free. And this weekend, on my first Father's Day, I will be wearing my new Never Iron Essential Khakis to church.
As if all of this isn't enough, Dockers is also generously hosting a giveaway so that one of YOU can give the Dad (or hubby) in your life a new pair of Dockers Never Irom Essential Khakis!
