I’ve managed to stay within 10 lbs of my college playing weight, since hanging my jersey from the proverbial rafters, 10 years ago. Granted, a lot of the mass from my chest and arms has transitioned to my tummy, so elastic-waist pants are very much my friend these days, but hey, within 10 lbs! And, with these Arenga Pants from Barena, I don’t have to compromise my style to accommodate my expanding midsection. I still get an Italian made, cotton blend, tapered fit trouser, but I don’t have to wear a dumb belt. My waist is forever indebted to END, who has me covered with a few key color choices for $205.
