They've researched which brands their male members like best, and they've even sorted the brands by age group.
According to Shop It To Me, those shopping for dads and grandpas ages 51 and older should look at Nordstrom, Brooks Brothers, Dockers and Tommy Hilfiger.
Both Nordstrom and Brooks Brothers ranked in the top 10 only for the older than 60 group. Dockers captured the top spot for men older than 60 and scored in the top 10 for men 51 to 60.
For middle-aged dads, Hugo Boss, Banana Republic, Gap and Kenneth Cole are tops.
