Dockers is obsessing over your pants so you don’t have to

Dockers is one of the most popular brands of pants of all time. Growing up, there was always a saying around my house to put on your Dockers when you were getting ready to leave the house. That was used anytime you were to get dressed in something other than jeans. Kleenex is what we called facial tissues, Band-Aids took over the word adhesive bandage, Chapstick was the stand-in for lip balm, and finally, Scotch Tape took over clear adhesive tape. How do you become a brand name that overtakes an entire industry for a product? Be the best. And Dockers became the best and the only go-to for us and countless other families. Now, they are looking to continue that trend by obsessing over your pants so you can get on with your life and not have to think about them. The Dockers “Always a Fit” campaign is looking to redefine the brand for the future with phase one, “Priorities.”

Making pants that just work

When you wake up in the morning, pants should be the last thing you worry about. Coffee, breakfast, getting to work on time, paying the bills, getting that anniversary gift. All of these things hit your mind first thing in the morning and everything just builds from there. Your pants should be easy, and Dockers’ “Priorities” is focusing on a new collection of lightweight, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant performance wear that resists spills, wrinkles, and the day’s unpredictability.

“Our job is to make pants people don’t have to think about,” says Nic Rendic, Global Creative Director at Dockers®. “You put them on, they fit great, they feel great, and they move with you. That’s it. Simple, easy, done.”

Ah…the blazer. The boat captain. The dad at the recital. The yacht club regular. This is one of the staples of the men’s wardrobe, something every man should have and understand. The conversation around tailored garments gets more and more complicated as contemporary changes start to pile on top of traditional focuses. Now, I am nothing if not traditional, but since we aren’t sticks in the mud, we will talk about the traditional and weave in a little bit of contemporary.

The Gentleman’s Guide to Groomsman Gifts
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

When I was a groomsman in my twenties, I was too broke for gifts. The best I could offer was a thoughtful card and a colorful toast after the wine started flowing. Youthful charm more or less excused showing up empty-handed—along with overindulging in Champagne and making passes at bridesmaids. As I approach forty, however, it’s not quite as cute. Forgoing a gift is as tacky as staring at the bride’s décolletage.

Wedding gifts are often items for the couple: coffee makers, bedding, fancy soap dispensers. But leave such boring gewgaws to great-aunts, chums of the bride’s parents, or the family dentist no one expected actually to show up. As a groomsman, you have a duty to present your stalwart pal with loot he’ll cherish. A beautiful bottle of whiskey. A handsome watch. Perhaps some art for his (gentle)man cave.
