Unisex pants that are advertised as tailored for the office? How the hell is that possible?
The venn diagram of men and women who would both fit this has to have a small intersection. Pants are the one shared clothing item that I would think is least unisex friendly.

Looks like they are inclusive. Too inclusive.

Rapha is having a sale right now, but none of their core stuff is hitting the sale price. Does anyone know if Rapha puts their core line on sale?

They do, but not as often. Usually the current stuff will go on sale during their big sales that come up a couple times per year; there was a 25% off sale in late March and I think that they do a similar sale in the fall. Otherwise, you may catch the odd sale on a particular color that may or may not be from a previous year - you just have to keep on top of the Archive Sale section as it rotates so much. On that note, I'm not sure if you can still do it, but I used to go to the Archive page, select my filters (gender, size, etc) and Price sorting preference and then bookmark the resulting URL - that made for a nice one-click method of checking for deals.
