I grew up watching M.A.S.H. In the late 80′s, when I was in college, I lived in vintage army pants. I love that classic silhouette and color.
The Dries Van Noten Fall 2010 collection reminded me how much I loved that slouchy comfortable fit and distinct color. I love how he mixes utiliarian with luxury in this collection.
Now Chimala has designed some utility shorts for Madewell. I love them but they are $334 – for shorts.
No disrespect to Chimala. The quality and design of their stuff looks amazing. I just can’t pay $334 for shorts. I’ll try to find a vintage pair for like $30.00. Like this pair on Etsy.
