Fred Perry polo event at Harry Rosen will impress preppy dads

Mother’s Day may have just passed, but several Vancouver retailers are already looking ahead to Father’s Day in June. The Harry Rosen store in Pacific Centre (700 West Georgia Street) will be hosting a Fred Perry polo event on Saturday (May 18) from 2 to 6 p.m.

Fred Perry is a British heritage brand named after the tennis star of the same name. The label, which includes men’s, women’s, and children’s collections, launched in the 1940s with a simple sweatband and quickly expanded to include other sports-inspired clothing, such as pique polo shirts, track jackets, tennis shoes, and more.

Shoppers who purchase a Fred Perry polo shirt ($85 to $115) during the event will receive free monogramming—perfect for impressing dad with a customized clothing piece on Father’s Day.
