Bonobos Pants

Bonobos Pants were developed by Stanford MBA student Brian Spaly after he became frustrated with the fit of traditional men's pants such as chinos or khakis. The waistband of Bonobos pants is curved to reportedly give a more flattering fit to the wearer.¹ In September 2008, the designer began offering two styles of pants for the presidential election: the "Obamas" and the "McCains."
