here to co-sign on the sweatpants. i marie kondo'd a very reliable pair (steven alan, if you're interested; ultimately too heavy and too slim but still i missed them) in an extremely shortsighted move before wearing sweatpants became the thing we're all doing all the time, and then held out against a new pair as, like, a gesture against everything the world became until ep launched its run last month and let me tell you: they own. i bought the grey ones because the tiedyed camos made me clutch my pearls and then two weeks later i bought the thunder dragon whatevers also because, like, they're sweatpants, they're gonna look like sweatpants no matter what so you might as well get weird with it. (i hope this does not come off as faint praise in any way.)
and they are, really, the best sweatpants i've ever owned. (other ep pieces that are actually the best of their breed that i have: the gats in ghost horsehide, the doyle in raisin sashiko, the suit i got married in.) all the stuff in eva's writeup is true: the fabric weight is exactly right at midheavy, the cut is relaxed without being sloppy (again, they're sweatpants, do with that what you will; what i will do with that is go to the grocery store and chase my kid around the playground and ideally not much more but i was not a sweatpants outside guy a month ago so who knows--the scale slides). when i put them on i feel like i'm being extra nice to myself.
