With only one day left before the Presidential election here in the U.S., poll outcome anticipation is high, and whatever voting choice you make, clearly it will not be dependent on your candidate's pants of choice. But don’t tell that to Bonobos, maker of the Obamas and the McCains slacks that are tailored to each candidate’s political persona. The Obamas, a smooth brushed, relaxed fit navy cotton trouser with a tile-style floral mosaic liner that screams "modern, open-minded, well-traveled, gregarious and hope for the future" (the company’s description, not mine) with the lining detail on the back pockets. The McCains on the other hand, represents the ‘maverick’ conservative side of the political pole with its subtle shine, navy color and Brooks Brothers-esque striped lining, screams "a willingness to swim against the current and lead with instinct" (again, the company’s description). Each style follows the fit ethos of the company, one that says a good, proper fit that flatters the wearer’s assets not distracts from them (um, my description here). The styles are available on the company’s website, bonobos.com, and retail for $120 a pair. So, come this Tuesday, November 4, if you are feeling particularly politically inspired, order a pair now, and wear your candidate of choice for the voting world to see. Keep in mind though that you may have to point out which candidate it is, as it seems the lining and back pockets, are the only details that define your political line.
