Origin
In 1890 Oscar Wilde indicted Victorian decadence with a gorgeous, cultured, but morally putrescent man named Dorian Gray. One day, in a fit of vanity, Gray wishes for eternal youth, and casts the yoke of physiognomy onto his freshly painted portrait. His life of ugly, hedonistic deeds is thenceforth recorded, sin by sin, on the cursed painting, while Gray himself remains physically flawless. (Thanks to Larry Harmych, who won himself a free pair by suggesting the name.)

Now, in 2008, Bonobos continues its campaign against unflattering trousers with a style forged in silvery stretch wool, the latest in our quest to provide you with an awesome suite of greys for business casual. Sleek and sophisticated as a Victorian aesthete, the Dorian Grays’ lightweight fabric closely resembles the feel and drape of the Jackson Brownes. They also offer an ageless style that looks best with black button-downs, black sweaters, black blazers, and your decrepit black soul.
Moral compass not included.
