T he attire for today includes a pair of light gray wool gabardine pants that I rediscovered a few days ago hanging with another jacket in the cedar closet built into an out of the way corner of Zum Stollenkeller . The wife of the previous owners of our house made wedding dresses, and her husand added it at some point. Since we moved into the house in December 2015, however, I have appropriated the closet for my off season wardrobe items. Otherwise, a not displeasing variation of the usual gear. Typically, I wear a suit of some kind when I teach classes on Mondays, and combinations of sports jackets or blazers with odd pants the rest of the week. A similar pair of wool "gabs," but in taupe, is also in the rotation somewhere, but paired with another jacket on a different hanger. Must find them since I had forgotten how comfortable the pants are. Easily as effortless as pajama bottoms, or Levis Dockers in all of those silly 1990s TV commercials ("Nice pants!"
