They may be sold out at Blackbird, but these Gant Rugger Oxford Chinos have seared themselves into my mind over the last couple of days. The execution is slim, simple, and done up in a gray oxford cloth that’s dark enough to suit my denim-leaning tastes while staying light enough to refrain from sucking up sunlight like crazy. In other words: well suited to my own inclinations, but also well suited to the summer months. That’s me sold.
Since the Gant Rugger flagship just opened this past week on Bleecker Street, I’m crossing my fingers and heading over there this afternoon to try to snag a pair for myself. At the very least, I can find out what size I take and pray that Zappos has that size in stock.
More shots for you:
At $98, they’re not super cheap, but they’re certainly not going to break the bank. Also available in Sea Blue option that’s a bit too light for me, but a very nice pant nonetheless.
