Mister Guy's Fashion Outlook
The pleated pant is again featured by our stores, and is still big news! Mister Guy has shown pleats for several seasons, yet many parts of the country have not been exposed to them. Pleats are apart of the 'new look' or general trend that has been called 'Contemporary Classics'.
The pleated pant works well with the new and refined 'country look' that we have tried to express with our updated tweeds, flannels, and corduroy suits and sport coats.
The pleats we are showing this fall have the same silhouette as our plain-front trousers. They have an extension waistband, with 'D-ringed' side tabs. Our pleats are inverted and double dress with two pleats on each side of the fly. They are not the pleat that came from outside and was tucked forming a baggy pouchlike effect, but smooth clean pleat that lays flat and not baggy at all.
For wearing with suits and sportcoats, we recommend a deep cuff at the bottom. We also show a 'pleated gentleman's' jean that we recommend be worn with a plain bottom. Our pleated pant will be done in tweeds, corduroys, gaberdines, in both solids and patterns.
The 'safari' pant is another pant that we have shown for several season's that has become a classic. The 'safari pant' is a pant that we have modeled after the army 'fatigue' pant that has either one or two cargo pockets, or large down on the leg pockets. This pant is casual by nature, but can be worn with sportcoats and-or sweaters. By dressing this pant up and showing it with a sportcoat, we have achieved a seemingly paradox of fashion that is very correct for today's dress. We have done this pant in all fabrics from corduroy, to khaki, and denim.
