TROUSER THOUGHTS
Pantsblogger Jeanette K. writes:
"I know a blog about tactical pants is a little on the bizarre side, but we love them so much that we don’t really give a hoot! Let me know if you have any ideas or thoughts about the blog. And if you actually wear tactical pants, I’d love to do a Q&A with you."
