Have Fun in Fall With Tartan Odd Trousers

I'm a big fan of having fun with your clothing. I like to throw in one or two articles just for me. Mine are usually bright, whimsical, or symbolic. In Fall, the easiest way to do this is with tartan odd trousers. I caught so much hell for this when I was still an undergrad. The ladies respected it though and I usually got noticed more than my friend.

Back to business; tartan is really nice for the colder times of the year. Why? Well, it's usually made from a warmer fabric, wool, tweed, flannel. I usually wear mine with solid odd jackets and thick striped shirts.

I'm currently working on a pair for myself. It is going to be made-to-measure with a high waist and fishtail back. I've got a few ideas and about how I'm going to wear it. I just need to decide the pattern.

It is safe to say it wont be any of these.

Where Have You Been Orange Gent?

Well, let us just say that school, work, career prospects, and the untimely death of one's father have really caused be to take some time off and relax.

I will get back to posting regularly but I have been behind in my school work. Well until I am ready for a regular posting know this: summer sales are on. Take advantage of the deals. The economy, the lack of loose funds, and the amount of unemployed former spenders have left many sizes available. I have always found myself at a size that is average enough to warrant very few items remaining when sales are on. I suggest you take advantage of the current conditions. Arbitrage opportunities are far and few in between. In the meanwhile enjoy another of my nephew's tartans.
