I seriously hope all fashion designers are paying close attention to Bonobos' tear-away chinos. Bonobos has designed a pair of 100 percent cotton chino pants that can be easily torn off in the case of a fire or an unexpected intimate encounter.
There are probably tons of other reasons to wear these tear-away chinos than the ones I highlighted. Tear-away pants are incredibly comfortable and are great for workouts and playing pick-up games. They are easier to put on and take off than sweatpants and look a lot more stylish. Bonobos claims that its tear-away chinos will increase your three-pointer percentage and vertical leap, outrageous claims most likely made to justify the pants' $98 price tag. Still, if you've got the cash, I can't think of a better piece of tear-away clothing on the market today.
