Bonobos Score For Babe

Poor Babe has been working 20 hour days and has only come home long enough on the weekends for me to Spray 'n Wash the Chicken Makhani stains out of his B² cuffs before he's back on the train...



But, ever the thoughtful husband, even when working his tail off, he came home bearing a great find pour moi...

Weeelllll...Bonobos may be more of a find pour homme but, it's the thought that counts...

And, since I happen to be the one in the family with the black belt in spending, the responsibility of choosing which pairs of Bonobos pants to kick off the collection with is falling on my fashion shoulders...

Alright sir but, don't come complaining after I cave for the swanky bright colors and have you outfitted like ole Maxminimus in all his "Go To Hell" pants...

I mean, a guys gotta match look good next to his Lilly clad wife in the coming months...

Unless, of course Bonobos follows through with their threat of designing for women in the near future then all bets are off. With the whole matchy thing ANNND the selfless order...

Kindness of Babe for who has been working so hard that his khaki's have hardly seen the light of day. Hurry home Dil! Nevermind that the UPS man will have to start delivering on the down low again, we miss you...XXOO

    A line for women would be awesome! Thank you so much for the helpful advice about running, I managed to run 4 miles with throbbing shins. :( I am going to try some yoga and cross- training and hopefully I will be back in my routine very soon! I hope the same for you! Have a great week!! xoxo

    Thanks, the photos will help me with gaining confidence in illustrating men to go with my ladies.
    Something about the pants that really seals the deal for me. I need to take a look at Bonobos.
    Back to work for me.

    Either the NYT fact-checker got your age wrong, or you are rockin' your 40s.

    I thought you were mid-30s at most.

    Great mention :-)

    What a guy your Babe is, major points to his taste in pants! Hopefully he'll get a break to regroup and refresh before too long.

    We have long loved Bonobos, and have all our fingers and our toes crossed they dive into the women's market.

    Smiles at you Miss Famous Allie!

    I love making a fashionable discovery before anyone else. Doesn't everyone?

    Although I only discovered your marvelous blog several months back, and was thrilled to be a contender in the tremendous anniversary blog contest, I am delighted- as must be your original readers- to have discovered your witty, stylish and informative little oasis before the NYT led masses invade. And invade they shall. I'll bet your stats have changed already. Run for cover!

    These look like great pants. Have bookmarked the site for JDD's birthday. And congratulations on the NYT article. I feel privileged that I get to chat with a celebrity. :-)

    I have the red Bonobos you have pictured....Took them to the tailor and had the break taken out, a good cuff put in and the legs slimmed a good bit. After some altering they are actually half way decent pants...I would suggest sizing down a bit...1 size down should do.
