Jonah and Erin - Hope all is well. Do we think things have changed since this article? Been thinking a lot about this recently.

You know we might be due for a new pants-fit reckoning or more likely a new pants report but I gotta say I was just glancing at this the other day and was impressed by how correct we were — and how correct we remain , all these pants look great still 🧙‍♂️

Was randomly goin thru the essays haha and agree this analysis still holds really well today. I especially like the quote by George positive. I actually think more people will start embracing that idea more or somethin. Like the break in pants adds some spice to the everyday wardrobe that is maybe "too tailored"

We really discussing some shit like how to wear pants in 2020. No offense my dudes, but there’s literal riots in our backyards, people being abducted by our own government into unmarked minivans and we are seriously conversing non-ironically about losing control of our trousers. Let’s do better, my kings. Pro-tip: just remember a belt when the secret police come for you!

U r commenting on a rare-joints newsletter devoted to “unbeatable recon” that 3 weeks ago encouraged readers to protest police killings, tent-encampment clearings, housing evictions and exploitative labor practices & 1 week ago included a link to get involved with Nithya Raman’s campaign

I know they're low-end, but I was expecting some mention of Dickies and the functional utility of a looser fitting pant for skating, and how that influences how pants should fit now.
