Well, Mother Nature has handed us plenty this week. We had NYC Snowmageddon 2010 and an explosion in the building across the street (everyone was alright thankfully).
With President’s Day this Monday, Bonobos HQ will be observing the Holiday and won’t be open this Saturday and Monday for in-person fittings. We apologize for any inconvenience, but will be back in action on Tuesday, February 16th.
We had a blast with our 1st Annual Super Bowl Pick ‘Em (P.S. – we fulfilled the New Orleans pants with Ninja speed. Credits to the Indy folks coming shortly.). We plan to take that concept further and really open it up for fun – think variable pricing possibly and other random events (Oscars, Winter Olympics anyone?) If you have ideas for events, shoot them to us at blog@bonobos.com.
However, what we really wanted to discuss were the Super Bowl commercials. We loved this recap from the New York Times.
Specifically of interest were all of the ads featuring pantsless folks. Did the No Pants Subway Ride provide everyone with inspiration? As we know well, something is inherently funny about pants – something hysterical about not wearing any, as evidenced by our favorite ad from Career Builder.
What do you guys think about pantsless ad concepts? Lots of angles they can take obviously.
If you have a particularly outrageous “being caught with your pants down” story, leave it in the comments or email us at blog@bonobos.com. We’ll hook up the most outlandish with a complementary pair of Bonobos to heal those open pantsless wounds. Maybe we’ll even build a concept around it and include you…who knows…
With “voting” on our 1st annual Pick ‘Em set to close tomorrow 5 minutes before kick-off, we figured we’d provide an update on voting thus far. The Colts are by far the lead Horse (pun intended). No big shocker there. Click here to vote if you haven’t yet.
P.S. – Some of the nerds here at Bonobos (myself included) would love to take this concept to the next step going forward – variable pricing based on game lines…sounds interesting, right? Until next time…
Our most sophisticated wool styling yet. Available in both bootcut and straight-leg, these pants should help you Get Back to Work!
We kid, we kid – we know you’ve been working hard…
P.S. – who needs models, when you have colleagues as really really ridiculously good looking as Kevin, right? Haha
Here he strikes his best Blue Steel pose. In reality he was getting close to losing control of his bladder while being hung off the side of a building.

A more unique, dude-friendly gift for Valentine’s Day (although the B’Roses, selfishly, work pretty well…)
