I may have just found the final boss of no to hell pants. If you've never heard the term go to hell pants, first off, welcome. You're officially on the menswear side of the Internet. The idea behind the term is basically a pair of pants that's so offensive that the wearer is telling you to go to hell. The term was coined in 1976, but the trend itself dates back to the late fifties and early sixties, and it quickly became a game of one upmanship amongst peacocks. Basically, there's levels to this. It may not be the first pair that was ever made, but I tend to think of the Nantucket Tier produced by Murray's Toggery Shop and made famous by JFK as the entry level go to hell pant. On the tame end of the spectrum, you have your solid good colors alongside Madras and Seersucker, which are all pretty commonplace these days. Then we move on to some of the more advanced flavors. Hatch work, which is not just limited to Madras. Embroidered motif pants, often called critter pants due to the little critters in Blazoned on them. Four panel pants, in which each leg panel is done in a contrasting fabric. And lastly, prints, prints, the boldest of which come from Lilly Pulitzer's men's stuff line. What makes my pair here from Murray's toggery shop so advanced is that it takes the embroidered better fabric and uses it for a pair of four panel pants, essentially stacking two different types of No to Hell pants to make something even more sinister.
