The Inspector Todds are a classy, golden brown plaid dress trouser that we wear with light colored dress shirts and brown loafers. They also look great with dark brown sweaters and blazers. Crime-fighters will pair with shoulder holster and firearm. Think Inspector Todd, Axel Foley's tough but fair boss from Detroit in Beverly Hills Copᆱマ_ᆱマ__ᆱマ_ᆱマ___ᆱマ_ᆱマ__ᆱマ_ᆱマ____
The sports guy stands alone when it comes to weaving rich tapestries about classic 80s pop culture references. But when these trousers arrived at Bonobos HQ we couldn't help but think of Inspector Todd and the golden era of mid 1980s entertainment. Spies Like Us, Three Amigos, Fletch, Vacation, Hot Dog, Caddyshack. Movies we'll quote for the rest of our lives. Amazing soundtracks featuring Harold Faltemeyer, Glenn Frey, Eddie Money, the Pointer Sisters, Kenny Loggins and Patti LaBelle. MTV played music videos, bands like U2, Duran Duran, Van Halen, Talking Heads, REM and The Police were putting out killer albums and sensational tours. Then Chrysler launched the minivan, and well, we all know what happened after that.
If you are buying art (or drugs) from Victor Maitland, these are your pants. Equally comfortable checking into the Beverly Palm Hotel or having brunch with Axel Foley and Jenny Summers. And by all means, if you need to bitch someone out for disabling a patrol car with a banana, or wrecking the buffet at Harrow Club, do it in your brown plaid Bonobos. And we guarantee you'll have some ass left even after your boss chews your ass out.
