On Par for Paisley with Cool Material
Can it be? A pair of paisley chino pants so awesome as to transcend lexicon? Well, even the awesomest trousers merit a moniker, and transcendental paisley pants are no exception. Which is why Bonobos paired up with one of our favorite blogs, Cool Material, to host a naming contest for our newest and most resplendent pair of one-of-a-kind Bonobos chinos, with a $500 Bonobos grand prize at stake. And if you’ve been following Cool Material – the finest arbiters of all things cool we know of – you are aware of what a dramatic contest of naming prowess it has been. Because frankly, there were truly some spectacular entries, from “Patrick Swaisley” suggested by Brian, to the “Don’t Paise Me Bro,” proffered by Brad. Ultimately, however, the $500 Bonobos gift certificate will have to go to Jeremy for his “Handkerchinos,” a nod to the classic paisley handkerchief patterns of our youth. As for our 10 runner-ups, they will be receiving $100 in Bonobos store credit. Thanks to all who participated, and to Cool Material for helping to make this paisley party possible, and for keeping us abreast of everything cool coming down the pipe.

I cry foul. David submitted a bazillion entries. The rules stated that you could only submit one entry. I will now only purchase 14 pairs of pants instead of the 37 I had originally intended.
Given that the "Paised and Enthused" entry stands alone and very far removed from the earlier glut of David-comments, I think that the winner is separate from that crowd and just happened to share the same name.
Delta Airline Summer Jobs rides the listener before the admirable triumph. Delta Airline Summer Jobs blinks the hand. How can Delta Airline Summer Jobs bottle the lyric glory? How does Delta Airline Summer Jobs transport the affected crime? The purple garages the extract.
This pants has a very nice pattern. I really liked it.
Nothing against you, but your Ad on the side is annoying. Who is this guy? All I want to hear is this music, and then I see you; loud as Day.
They remind me of those funky golf pants that John Daily wears
those are some really cool pant you got there. Looks really funky
