I’m not sure what flies at your home during the holidays, but apparently it’s not kosher at everyone’s house to unbutton one’s trousers to make room for a second course. If that’s the case wherever you end up this Thanksgiving, you might want to pick up a pair of Chris Cosentino’s new seasonal clothing item. The San Francisco chef has given the world the Gluttony Pants.
The pants came with three pork-themed button positions: “Piglet,” “Sow,” and “Boar.” Naturally, the wider your belly expands, the larger a pig you become. The pant positions correspond to the names of portion sizes at Cosentino’s restaurant.
Consentino is celebrating Turkey Day with a special Thanksgiving-themed version of the pants, brown for turkey, with burgundy pockets in honor of cranberry sauce. The pants sell for $100 and ship with a large napkin to tuck into one’s shirt collar, featuring images of “the evolution of a foodie.”
Consentino, for his part, denies that his pants promote overeating, “There have been some misconceptions about the Gluttony Pants — I’m not trying to promote obesity or overeating, it’s more about fun. It’s not always a bad thing to overindulge — I’m not saying sit down and eat a 100-ounce T-bone, but it’s OK to overdo it once in a while.”
The company has sold about 600 pairs, so far. The pants are only available in men’s sizes, from 30 to 42.
