It takes more than a pretty face to pull a pair of leather pants. We learned that this week, when the seemingly impenetrable bone-ability of Brad Pitt was quelled by a pair of baggy, crumpled leather pants.

Though still a champ in the facial department, his ill-fitting chaps sent off mid-life crisis sonar signals. It was a warning to men who dare: leather pants can make a fool of anyone if worn incorrectly. It's a battle of wills: man vs. pants.
