Britches. Pantaloons. Trousers. Pants. Pull them all up!

Henrik Ibsen, the 19h century Norwegian playwright remarked, "You should never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom  and truth." VA|BESPOKE thinks that wearing your best trousers is the way to win the fight. A man in the right pair is a winner before the battle even starts! 

Pants have a long history and we won't go into detail about it (just click here). Just know that at some point, men didn't wear them and we're glad that changed a long time ago! While women wear pants quite often now, it's still really part of a man's signature piece of clothing (unless you're from Scotland) -  women can wear both, but generally speaking, men cannot.

Tuxedo, formal, casual, and of course, denim:

A man who is particular has choices if he prefers custom-made. There are choices in style, cut boot, straight leg, tapered), pleats (one, two, or no pleats), front and back pocket placement (flap, dress slit, buttoned), closure (button, hook & amp; bar, extended tab), leg opening (cuffed, un-cuffed, unfinished), and pocket lining (matching or contrasting). And of course, don't forget about the dizzying number of choices in fabric and color.
