The Silver Pants that Daddy Bought
*OK, not Daddy per-say, but anyone who gifts me from the blogosphere gets the “Blog Sugar Daddy” title for a spell….
I had mentioned over a week ago on Twitter that I must absolutely have this new pair of Bonobos cords, the “M Streets,” and that someone should buy them for me. Well, seems that a good blog/twitter pal/follower, Michael Cichon/BfloNativeInFla, was feeling generous and bought them for me. Let me say thanks Mike! You rock severely and the pants are much appreciated… and as promised, a post:

Bonobos are the Craftsman brand of pants: quality, durability, and satisfaction unconditionally guaranteed. Plus, they are pants for the man with a little bit of ass and a little bit of style. Allow me to explain:
- Bonobos are handsewn, quality trousers made in NY made from wholesome materials like organic cotton or wool.
- Most of today’s casual slacks suffer from “Khaki Diaper Butt,” a tragedy wrought from mass-produced pants made to fit a form, not a man. Bonobos are designed to fit a man with a butt, with a curved waistband to ensure a proper fit on the hips. It’s OK for a guy to have an ass, and Bonobos are the best pant to show them off.
- Each pair of pants come at at a set length, either 34″ inseam for waists 28-33, and 36″ for waists 34-40. Just stop at your favorite dry cleaners (or ask that seamstress friend of yours) and you can get them tailored to the perfect length. Most Bonobos are also slightly boot-cut, a plus for the casual office dweller who refuses to wear dress shoes, like me.
- You won’t find these pants in stores, except for the headquarters in Manhattan, or at trunk sales throughout the year. You buy Bonobos online at bonobos.com, keeping markups low.
- The return policy is insane: any pant, any time, any reason, you can return your Bonobos for a 100% refund or replacement. And they pay for the return shipping.
- Did I mention they fit and look amazing?
When Michael bought my pants, it went a few days without any word on shipping or tracking numbers. After an email inquiry it turned out that in a giant rush for the new March lineup, staff at Bonobos accidentally let the order fall through the cracks. Most companies would hash off a quick “sorry” and send them along. Not only were they apologetic, but they overnighted the pants and included a coupon for a hefty discount on the next order. Arriving with the M Streets was the invoice, and scribbled was this cute note that I had to share…
This isn’t the first time I’ve worn Bonobos. I picked up a pair of shoguns last year and they are my favorite second favorite pair of pants next to these M Streets. Since I couldn’t wait to wear them, I asked my friend Crystal from the Co-op if she would fix the length for me. I’m not exactly a 31 waist, but the cords shrink a bit in the wash and come out perfect.
I’ve never had silver pants before, but they look and feel great, and will go with nearly everything. Middleweight corduroy is one of the perfect fabrics for Spring, you heard it here. #tweetit

They look AWESOME!
So Jealous! I’ve been wanting a pair, but am holding out until my weight is down a bit more.
They look great on you. Now, we really need a better shot of your ass in them. ;^)
Those are going to look great on my floor this weekend.
