When the weekend rolls around, I like to cut loose. Loungewear at brunch, denim at dinner…wool trousers so comfy I could sleep in them? Surely I must be dreaming. But I’m so not.
Longtime TONY fave Bonobos makes wool, corduroy and cotton twill pants for guys that deliver on their promise to be “better fitting, better looking.” For real: These trousers are super-relaxed on the inside but office-sharp on the out. After getting compliments on my Black Cards straight-leg stretch cotton twill pants ($100) at the watercooler, I ordered two more.
And here’s the best part: Though Bonobos is still sold exclusively online, the brand has recently opened its midtown headquarters for fittings by appointment (Mon–Fri 9am–7pm). Now you can get oodles of personal attention and fashion tips from an in-house “style ninja,” who can place your order right after she sizes you up. Bottoms start at $50, and dress shirts will debut in early spring. Limited production ensures an always-fresh lineup, so if you’re dead serious about rocking those Pendleton wool holiday pants ($150) year-round, act now. 59 W 19th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves, suite 6B (877-294-7737, bonobos.com).—Jeffrey Tanenhaus
Hey Jeffrey - Thanks for the mention!!! We love Time Out back :) Just one point of clarification - the vast majority of our pants start at $88 (for washed khakis). The only pants we have that start at $50 are some of our Endangered Species (http://www.bonobos.com/store/cat/endangered-species). Thanks! - The Ninjas
