You appreciate the gusto of the occasional hurricane and realize that one must embrace challenge. An endless parade of perfect beach days and pina coladas is not interesting. Weathering 60 knot gusts on the bow of your sloop is interesting. An island that used to be populated only by wild hogs is interesting. Your pants are interesting.
The Dark N Stormy, a buttery concoction of burnished-teak-colored wool with the soft hand of cashmere, is here to help you amble through the cooler, damper climes of the sun's retreat. A pant to help you weather its namesake, it is perfect for cocktails on your deck overlooking Harrington Sound, a Bloody Caesar at homecoming or grand rounds at Man's Best Hospital. An orange silk liner keeps your pockets happy, and the herringbone weave encourages admirers to take a second look. My, there's a lot of depth to that fabric.
You know there's no reason to mourn the passing of the height of summer. Armed only with a pair of horn-rimmed glasses and a slicker, you grab your pants and head out into the storm.
