If you somehow missed the story this week, Sarah Harbaugh, wife of the San Francisco 49ers head coach, let the nation know that her husband will only wear $8 pleated chinos that he buys at Walmart. Fashion faux pas.
Banana Republic took the opportunity to launch the hashtag #CHINOS4JIM. Banana Republic was founded just 14 miles north of San Francisco in nearby Mill Valley.

Not to be left out of the picture mens fashion brand Bonobos tweeted their open letter to Coach Harbaugh to #GetHarbaughInBonobos. In their letter they outlined an offer of ten free pairs of pants in addition to a $10,000 donation to a charity of Harbaugh's choice. Sounds like a deal I'd be quick to jump on, but that's just me. Anybody envisioning a future partnership for Harbaugh and a menswear brand?

Finally, some photographic proof of a prior Harbaugh khaki shopping adventure.
