Made from the same fantastic Belgian brushed cotton as the Leblons, Obamas, and McCains, the Congos are back in our lineup. This time we’ve lined the Congos with a new palm frond pattern still reminiscent of Teddy Roosevelt big game safaris and early 80s movies like Romancing the Stone, where soldier of fortune Jack T. Colton (Michael Douglas) agrees to escort a romance novelist (Kathleen Turner) out of the murderous jungles of Colombia. Put on the Congos and take a journey back in time to when banana republic used to refer to a small country in the tropics dependent on a single export commodity....
You can also wear these bonobos to work… they are a bit more polished compared with their predecessors, and easily pass biz caszh(sp?) muster. They are a good alternative to your stone and beige (khaki) bonobos; the Congos are equally versatile with most of your work shirts, especially light blue. One of the best things about this color is that you can wear it with darker tops and lighter tops – the medium shade of green can work as a light contrast and a dark contrast. In plain English – they look good with navy and black and white and yellow. That’s cool. And makes your life easier.
