Would you buy $100 plain khakis?
Lately I’ve been hearing more and more about Bill’s Khakis. I don’t know what could be so special — they’re just khaki pants, after all — but people love these things. Here’s the top review on Amazon:
Yep, these babies are like no other khakis you will ever own. I have two pair, one that I just got. They are the best fitting pants you can get…just make sure you order them a little bigger than your usual size. Take them to a tailor and get them properly hemmed and you will never regret it. I took my first pair to the cleaners often but I’m not going to do that with this new pair…just wash and hang to dry. They look great and will last forever. Bitchin pants!
Wow. Glenn Beck is a fan, too. The folks at Bill’s say their pants are inspired by the pants issued to GIs in World War II. I know for a fact that other designs from that era have withstood the test of time, like the brilliantly simple P-38 can opener.
Here’s the thing, though: they’re $97.50. I’ve never spent that much on a pair of pants in my 24 years on this earth. But if they’re worth it, I’ll go for it. Anyone out there have a pair of these?
