They're not for everyone but I've become a fan.<br /><br />anon 14:46 Thanks for sharing a great memory. Glad to hear Special Forces NCOs looked as great at Presidio as they did at Bragg. I grew up watching those guys saunter around the PX, commisary and our quarters. I'll never forget how they looked. Regal with a touch of bad ass. 20th C knights with an intelligence and humor that was cutting. Quiet and never (almost never) boastful yet egos bigger than some Latin American countries. They were and are the shit.<br /><br />Anon 18:46- Honey, do you just look at the pictures? <br /><br />oldominion- good advice. I think a lot of folks get turned off Bills buying on ebay and Sierra TP. Fit is key and you need to try 'em on. If you're a heartless bastard, visit your local haberdasher and get the fit and style you like then go home and order them on line. People who do this usually cry the loudest when the haberdasher they went to goes outta business. These are the same people who call other people "sunshine" and "sweetheart."<br />At least that's been my experience.<br /><br />Ben- We'll have to see if he comments. It does like a group shot of the Thunderbirds but I know that's impossible.<br /><br />LPC- That's a great question. And there's nothing I'd like to do more than judge khakis for women but this time I'd insist on judging fit.tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-83056477573535653372010-05-24T20:26:25.300-04:002010-05-24T20:26:25.300-04:00Tintin, several of us women are interested in seri...Tintin, several of us women are interested in serious khakis for us.

However I do know people who only buy Bullards now as their year round go-to khaki. Go to your local purveyor and compare them to normal Bill's and you'll understand the hefty price tag. Whether or not you'll want to pay it is another matter, but the Bullard is not a normal khaki trouser.oldominionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-22710563614257642012010-05-23T18:46:30.137-04:002010-05-23T18:46:30.137-04:00Sunshine, Dockers made some pretty good khakis bri...Sunshine, Dockers made some pretty good khakis briefly around 98. forgot what they were called, but had a button fly, etc. <br /><br />So bottom line sweetheart, where's the best place to get cheap khakis?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-35156553896160968122010-05-23T14:46:50.627-04:002010-05-23T14:46:50.627-04:00When I was in the service - Navy - I spent time on...When I was in the service - Navy - I spent time on tri-service bases and recall the relative sharpness of the uniforms. We sailors usually looked slobs apart from dress blues or maybe well-starched whites.<br /><br />In particular I recall how incredibly sharp the Green Beret sergeants at DLI Monterey circa 1968-69 looked in their starched khakis shirts with trousers bloused over spit polished jump boots. THOSE guys were the epitome of sergeants!<br /><br />In contrast, seeing GIs today off base in their shirttail out camo BDUs with scuffed desert boots is,IMO, a disgrace to the dignity of 235 years of U.S. military uniforms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-68243716157574785022010-05-21T21:12:43.060-04:002010-05-21T21:12:43.060-04:00I've been a fan of the Bullard for about 2 yea...I've been a fan of the Bullard for about 2 years now- am wearing a pair now and have several colors. Aesthetically, the cuff looks great, but given the weight of the material, the ones that I have cuffed almost feel too heavy around the ankle.<br /><br />I had one pair of Bills regular khakis that seemed to fray prematurely at the hem line. They got converted to shorts (which you should never have to buy otherwise for this reason). I'd be surprised if the Bullards failed early though. And I don't doubt that if they ever did, Bill would make it right. <br /><br />What kind of chinos do our esteemed judges wear? <br /><br />David Letterman was reportedly a fan of Bills, by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-54138076819026371992010-05-21T16:49:41.095-04:002010-05-21T16:49:41.095-04:00Stew- I hear ya.

M1s are worn up on the true waist. Even though M1s are looser, they are less baggy than M2s. M2 are neither here nor there. Not a good compromise.Peter Wilbornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262676259990186703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-35547890550006956372010-05-21T15:16:58.624-04:002010-05-21T15:16:58.624-04:00Have owned several pairs of Bill's Khakis over...Have owned several pairs of Bill's Khakis over the years and always been less than thrilled with their overall quality after a few washings...They just never held up as well as better quality Polo khakis....The $165 price tag seems totally out of line with the basic quality of the garment -- not bad but way over-hyped in terms of actual value. <br /><br />DPHFdpfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05764726450354245015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-87120545013213093982010-05-21T10:33:17.472-04:002010-05-21T10:33:17.472-04:00Ha!
