Gluttony Trousers? Sons of Britches? King Smut’s Pants? While they may sound like the stuff great jokes are made of, these kooky-sounding clothes are actually part of a design company’s collections. Betabrand, based in San Francisco, is infamous for releasing a creative idea each week, and I always look forward to what these guys dream up next. They have a knack for creating a kick-ass product around a need that exists (expanding pants for when you want to stuff your face, for example), but sounds crazy when you say it out loud. Needless to say, I wasn’t surprised in the slightest when I discovered what they’re currently cooking up. This week they’re auctioning off a single pair of pants – Envy Pants, rightly named – golden trousers that the kids at Betabrand are advertising as “possessing libidinal forces more powerful than the mighty Nile.” The bidding starts at $7 and the auction ends August 27 (that’s this Friday). I may not be an expert on men’s fashion, but I highly doubt there’s anything sexier then shiny slacks… or a man with the confidence to pull them off.
