So, it's another bitingly cold winter day. You haul your aching bones out of bed, shiver your way half awake to the café on the corner, and decide—what the hell—you deserve a damn treat. "Not my regular today, my man," you declare to the barista, as if he has any idea who you are. "I'd like a mocha." And man oh man, that mocha! You haven't had one since college, when you were still tricking yourself into liking coffee, and it's rich and warm and fills your whole body with joy, and you're immediately ready to head out there and own the day. Men's corduroy pants are the mochas of the style world—only they don't cost quadruple the price of an Americano, so you can afford to wear them everyday.

The rest of that very dumb analogy holds true, though: cords are an absolute heavenly treat for your lower half. Cozier than your jeans, miles more comfortable than your wool trousers, and a worthy substitute for either of those staples. And right this moment, there's an excess of shiny, hardy, easy-wearing corduroy pants out there to get excited about pulling on everyday from now till June. If you've got legs and any semblance of style, here are a dozen men's corduroy pants to consider copping right away.

The Best Everyday Corduroy Pants

Alex Mill rugged cord pleated pant

Alex Mill—the New York label that's functionally a reunion tour for the team behind J.Crew's #menswear golden age—is all about making everyday staples so intuitively wearable you could get dressed in the dark and still emerge looking pretty darn good. Their signature trousers are probably the most fully realized representation of that goal: with a subtle single pleat and a slightly relaxed fit, they feel very 2020 and totally timeless all at once. This latest iteration, done up in hardy medium-weight corduroy, is easily the handsomest and most versatile they've dropped yet.

The Best Colossal Corduroy Pants

Goodfight Letter cord pant (was $475, 50% off)

We're living in an age of BIG pants, and everything about this pair is larger than life. The wales are wider than the Mississippi, and the silhouette is so voluminous it's practically bordering on JNCO territory. That might sound a tad clownish on paper, but in person they're irrefutably beautiful and surprisingly elegant—proof that more sometimes really is more. Tuck in a simple tee or cashmere sweater, then sit back and let the pants do all the talking.

The Best Workwear Corduroy Pants

Dickies x J.Crew corduroy work pants

At this stage, we really shouldn't really have to explain the merits of the Dickies 874 to you anymore. They're the Chuck Taylors of pants: dependable, affordable, universally beloved. Our only real wish was that they came in a wider range of fabrics—and, well, now they do. Thanks to a collaboration with J.Crew, the classic straight-leg cut has been decked out in a thin-wale cord, bringing a welcome touch of softness and texture to the toughest pants around.

The Best Office-Ready Corduroy Pants

Raey tapered-leg cotton blend corduroy trousers (was $354, 40% off)

Raey, the in-house line at Matches Fashion, has more of a distinct point of view than most of its algorithmically-designed private label competitors. The brainchild of designer Rachael Proud, its wares are flowy and minimal, the kind of clothes a skateboarder might wear to an office job. Case in point: these clean-lined cords, which are refined enough for a big meeting or a dinner date, but still chill enough to hang in all weekend with a hoodie and sneakers.

The Best (Elevated!) Everyday Corduroy Pants

Evan Kinori single pleat pant

Everything we love about the Alex Mill joints up top, Evan Kinori's cords deliver at a slightly higher level. The baggyish-but-still-tapered fit is similar, but even more flattering; the fabric is a little heftier, with a little more character; and the whole thing is meticulously handcrafted in California. The catch, of course, is that the Kinori version clocks in at three times the price—but if you've got the funds, it's worth the upgrade.

The Row has your answer. Meticulously tailored in Italy, with a splash of plush cashmere in the mix, these trousers—like everything from the Olsens' ultra-luxe label—are immaculate, uncomplicated, and entirely uncompromising.

New Jersey mayor John Roth admits to taking off pants, passing out drunk at party - New York Daily News

Perry's Promise: Spay, Neuter, Feed, Happy Pants | Lifestyles - The Catoosa County News

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 07:30 AM PST

Over the last six months, animal rescue Perry's Promise, based in Walker County, has helped provide spay/neuter procedures for 100 dogs and cats and has distributed 2,000 pounds of pet food, says one of the group's founders, Janice Williams.

"We were able to help one gentleman with spaying and dog food," says Williams. "He said it felt like an answer to prayer. He didn't want his dogs to get pregnant and we're thankful for that."

Perry's Promise held a special food giveaway this past Christmas season at the Athletic Center in Rossville. Williams says the group gave away hundreds of cans and bags of pet food to help people get through the holidays without having to worry about their pets. The Rossville Police and Fire Departments participated by providing a fire truck and police car children could touch and get in.

Williams' rescue partner, Tessy Kimball, says the organization is also still doing its Wags on Wheels program, in which it partners with the Meals on Wheels program out of the Rossville Senior Center to get pet food delivered to recipients of meals for humans.

In rescue work, says Williams, you never know what you might come across. On Oct. 3, 2019, someone dumped a number of older dogs near Headrick Road in Ringgold. "It looked like they may have belonged to someone older who could no longer care for them," says Williams. "They were in rough shape, nails not trimmed, fur a mess. One had been used as a breeder. She was a Yorkie, but you could hardly tell it. She had fur on her head and her back legs and hardly anywhere else. Her eyes were so bad her eyelids wouldn't close. She had mammary tumors that had to be removed, and her eyes and teeth had to be removed."

Williams took this last dog into her own home and calls her Happy Pants because "the fur on her legs looks like chaps."

"A Tennessee rescue called For the Love of Dogs raised the money to pay for all of Happy Pants' care, as well as all the care the other dogs needed," Williams says. "It ran into the thousands of dollars."

Perry's Promise partners everywhere they can. Williams says the group recently started working with the police departments in Chickamauga and Rossville. "Officers encounter hungry strays and dogs and cats in unstable home environments where there is little or no pet food. We provide them with pet food to carry in their vehicles, so the animals will not be left hungry even if nothing else can be done for them immediately."

One constant challenge of rescue work, Williams says, is raising funds. "Between the work and fundraising, it's pretty much 24/7, but we do have some wonderful people who help with the mission."

Williams says the people at Mosteller's Towing & Recovery will drop everything to deliver a load of pet food. Phibbs Bar & Grill in Walker County is also working on fundraisers for the group.

Perry's Promise is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and receives no funding from the government. "We are volunteers trying to help the animals and pet owners of our community," says Williams.

How to help or donate

  • Perry's Promise needs volunteers in many capacities.
  • You can go to the Perry's Promise Facebook page and click on the "Use APP," button to go to PayPal and donate or you can private message through Facebook.
  • You can go to any Bank of LaFayette branch and deposit donations directly into the Perry's Promise account.

NJ Town Mayor Admits to Getting Drunk, Taking Off Pants and Passing Out at Party - NBC New York

Posted: 31 Jan 2020 02:18 AM PST

A New Jersey mayor is facing criticism and calls for him to resign after he admitted to getting drunk and taking off his pants at a party before passing out in an employee's bed.

Mahwah mayor John Roth confirmed in a NorthJersey.com article that he was at a house party thrown by a town worker, where he became intoxicated. At some point during drunken revelry, Roth went upstairs, took off his pants and crawled into an empty bed to fall asleep, he said.

After news of the incident came out, an anonymous letter signed by "concerned employees of the Township of Mahwah" began circulating, demanding mayor issue a public apology to town employees.

Roth was elected in 2018. His constituents were divided on what transpired, with some calling it "disgraceful" while others thought the mayor made a responsible decision to not drive.

"I think it is disgusting to go to a party with town employees get so drunk that you go upstairs to somebody else's bedroom and you take off your pants," one woman said.

Tom Vitulano supported Roth, saying he thinks he's a great mayor and "if the election was today, I would vote for him."

When contacted multiple times by NBC New York, Roth refused to comment.
