The Father-Son Shopping Experience
Some families make Father's Day about the experience, not just the gift. Bring Dad in for a personal consultation where he can try on suits, pick out ties, and get expert fitting advice—all while spending quality time together.
For families with upcoming weddings, this can be the perfect time to discuss groomsmen suits, father-of-the-bride attire, or simply update his wardrobe before the big day.
Pro tip: Schedule an appointment for Saturday morning, then take Dad to lunch at one of Kalamazoo's great restaurants downtown—Food Dance, Rustica, or Latitude 42.
How to Shop for Dad Without Him Knowing
Check His Closet
