Out of the lab and into the streets: this month, MF puts the screws to: Gap's stain- and wrinkle-free pants and shirts - Good Looks

Men are slobs. But I, for one, am tired of scotch-guarding my wardrobe to spare myself the embarrassment of having to wear soiled pantaloons. That said, I wore these garments on a typical day to see if they could cut the mustard, literally.

The morning commute: Instead of pulling on the standard jeans and T-shirt, I don the khakis and blue-striped shirt, confident my idiot-proof clothes will keep me stylish and stain-free no matter what. Before long, though, I'm on my knees and handling rubber. It's not what you're thinking--I got a flat tire while driving to the train. Amazingly, I still looked sharp when I got to work.

Lunch: Salami, bologna, ham, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, and mustard. The perfect sandwich, only I decided to make this one in my lap. Incredibly, the juice from the tomato beads up and rolls right off the pants, leaving only the mustard and crumbs to be wiped away. However, the pleats and cuffed hems both had collected a good deal of Cheetos. I recommend the flat-front version to avoid this problem.

Bar crawl: After work, I met some friends at the local hole-in the-wall where a tipsy girl managed to spill her Cosmopolitan all over the front of my shirt. Luckily, her girlie drink was repelled like water off a duck's back. She was so impressed, and drunk, that I ended up with lipstick on my collar. That proved problematic--for my girlfriend, who noticed it in the washing machine despite my faith in the garment's stain-fighting abilities.

Seal of approval: Gap gets the nod from us. Yup, the wears get the MF if-only-Monica-Lewinsky-wore-this stuff-Bill-Clinton's-record-would-still-be-clean seal of approval.
