That is the most substantial and coherent thought anybody has ever expressed about me here. Thank you . . . thank you.

I think this is a great idea,except it may not work for winters as it gets really cold. I would prefer same color but with different weights. Are you going to have double pleats?

Double pleats, yes.

The OneTrouser, like the OneShoe, will not be absolute. I will need other trousers, too. Perhaps I'll wind up with a winter OneTrouser and a summer OneTrouser.

Navy corduroy. John G. Hardy. The light version of around 16 oz. What do I win?

Holland and Sherry has a nice mid to light grey 11/12oz whipcord that would serve this purpose well. I dont know the book but the number is HS954000.
