My husband wears Dockers to work.  I thought it would be nice to give him a gray pair, but these aren't made of the same material as most.  They have the feel of a wool blend.  SInce I got them for Father's Day, I'm not sure yet if he'll like them for dressier occasions or not.  They'd be too hot for daily wear.  I'm not sure I want to go through the cost and hassle of returning them.  (Since my husband is tall, I generally have to order clothes online.)  Just be aware that these aren't the same as the other colored Docker's.  I wish this fact had been emphasized before I ordered them.
