It’s hilarious the dumb shit I’m willing to shell out big $$$ for (booze, Uber, uncomfortable stilettos I’ll only wear once). So whenever I come across a really solid basic at a great price, like these Overdyed Stretch Chinos from Welcome Stranger, I always try to snap that up too, because then it feels like I’m offsetting all my silly splurges. Cut and sewn in San Francisco, and then garment dyed in Los Angeles, the mid-rise, slim-tapered pants are made from a flexible 97% cotton / 3% polyurethane blend and come in two great colors for $165. Buy smart (so you can buy stupid) at Welcome Stranger.
