Trackies: daggy pants that individuals wear for comfort, usually when feeling unhealthy and unwholesome from the night before. Fortunately, the three local Melbourne lads behind Johnny Benchpress refuse to accept that trackies are for the undignified and assure us that they have some street cred.
Think Jodhpurs but thicker, made of cotton, and with way less shimmer going on. Oh, and sourced entirely in Melbourne, not Mumbai. These skinny-leg style puppies have wide tapered bands around the ankles and waist, and each pair has its own outlandish pocket-lining just to spruce things up: love hearts, Jesus, poker chips, crayons, vintage wallpaper patterns... the list continues. My pair has lemons in the pockets, FYI.
For boys and gals, they range from size 26 to 34, and come in black, aqua, royal blue, charcoal and chocolate brown. At Chiodo you'll only find the black ones (for some mysterious reason) but if you waddle over to Windsor, Design A Space has all the colours of the Johnny Benchpress rainbow.
