Would someone post detailed pictures of what makes a pair of Ambrosi pants divine? All the handmade parts, the special features and trimmings.
Ive looked it up online and the pictures dont really say much about the features that make them special, or better than say a Savile Row or other bespoke tailor-made pants
Maybe a dissection ala jefferyd. or maybe just close-ups. heh.

Are you being an instigator? Why would anyone attack foo? For getting 5 pairs of Ambrosi trousers in the same fabric or for wearing a sweater of his alma-mater?

I can take the personal attacks and insults, but putting me into a Harvard sweater would truly make a piece of me die on the inside.

The 0300 is really awesome. Kind of the pants equivalent to a bold checked tweed jacket - tailored clothing that is as far away as possible from the "business casual" or "office pant" look.

I wouldn't wear it with earth tones though. A navy blazer or cardigan is really the optimal match.

What does Harvard have to do with anything? MF's sweatshirt says 'GROWN', right?
