Attention EOD Guys!

David is getting a hard time from all the EOD guys about his red pants, so I am going to explain the pants and hopefully they will stop. (Apparently my little blog is HUGE is Iraq)
From DiscoverNantucket.com:
Nantucket Reds come in a variety of styles, mostly casual, but all comfortable and very sturdy. As of yet, there are no such thing as blue Nantucket Reds, or even yellow Nantucket Reds. Everything - don't be shocked here - comes in red. The cotton canvas material is dyed red and put together to customized specifications. As with most cotton materials, the red dye will fade with every wash to a distinctive pink. Many customers have been known to take steps and go extra lengths to speed this process along.

Nestled at the top of cobblestoned Main Street, Murray's has been dressing WASPS in the uniforms of leisure—obnoxiously hued, sportily durable, and maybe a bit silly—since 1945. The first pair of Reds appeared around 1960, when Philip Murray inherited the store from his father and remade Brittany trousers (named for the sail color on boats in the Brittany region of France) using a new dye hat, with a bit of sun and salt, paled to just the right shade of pink. Men started wearing them on the water, at cocktail parties, and before long, to that most sacred ritual of the Preppius inebriates species: weddings. Today, Murray's sells as many as 6,000 pairs annually. "People liked the pants because they held up when they went sailing, they weren't too expensive, and the heavy cotton canvas faded, " says Philip's daughter Trish Murray-Bridier, who has kept the store in the family by managing it with her husband and brother. "Nantucket Reds remind you of your vacation."




I think that most of you are just scared to wear such awesome pants!!

Love you Dave!!!!
