Character.

Edna O'Brien, Irish writer:

"When anyone asks me about the Irish character, I say look at the trees. Maimed, stark and misshapen, but ferociously tenacious."

I would also say, look at these pants.

They're not the kind that tiptoes into the latest restaurant opened by the latest superstar chef.

Although you might lend the place some class.

But they're perfect for a ramble through Galway, gathering material for your next great novel.

I found them, in Ireland, of all places.
