Update: I've removed the discount code upon a request from Bonobos
Or trousers as they're called here in the UK ("pants" are not 'outerwear'). At any rate, Bonobos is a new brand of men's pants or trousers. A former classmate of mine, Brian Spaley, is one of their co-founders. In their words:
Bonobos exists to solve two problems we had
ourselves. (1) Men's pants do not fit well; they are either baggy,
frumpy, and unflattering. Or way too tight. We make pants that fit and look
better, on most gents and especially on guys with athletic builds. The
second problem (2) is retail. How could we enjoy paying 120% markup
to try on clothes in an uncomfortable public environment where sales associates—who
are total strangers—either scrutinize our figures, or pay no attention
to us at all? Meanwhile, pricing games are no fun. We're tired of
waiting for sales... but paying full price makes no sense when
inevitably everything will go on sale. We got tired of the traditional
retail shopping experience. So we are building a different kind of clothing
company, one that offers a fantastic customer experience, innovative low-cost
distribution, and a stylish
product that fits well.
I bought a pair of these, which have proven to be super-comfortable. I also like how their inside linings are kinda funky. First-time customers can enter [DELETED] as a code to get 15% off their first order (there's nothing in it for me save for good karma).
