Boys Cargo "trews" at LL Bean?

[kilted_brewer]

Well, score one for tartan pants, I guess. LL Bean is advertising these in their kids' catalog: drawstring tartan cargo pants. Okay, so they're cotton, not wool, and it's possible that only the Dress Campbell is a registered tartan (I'm sure someone will have the reference to LL Bean's plaids), but maybe it's a gateway article of clothing. Soon, the wee boys'll nae be satisfied unless it's a true hand-sewn tank (with cargo pockets).
