Anyway, in preparation for spending 2 weeks living in Vail (note: living not vacationing, sigh), I bought some weather-suitable trousers yesterday. Not, sadly, from Ralph Lauren, but from Hudson Trail Outfitters. I couldn't bring myself to part with the amount of dinero that Mr. Lauren requested. Not that HTO was cheap or particularly reasonable for an item I will wear for a fortnight at the most. I was convinced into buying them after the salesman laughed at my "I shall wear jeans over my thermals". My public shame worsened on me saying "Are these salopettes?" to which he responded "I haven't heard that word used in 20 years. HA! We call them ski pants nowadays". Okay thank you smart arse.
Here are Ralph's SKIPANTS (mine are too ugly to show):
