Jim Harbaugh Wears $8 Walmart Khakis

San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh loves his gameday khakis, probably because NFL coaches are functional lunatics who cling devoutly to certain habits lest they come completely unmoored from reality, and also because khakis offer loose-fitting comfort at a reasonable price.

Harbaugh is serious about his pants. Even when his wife Sarah threw out some of his khakis, he refused to change his wardrobe. Harbaugh will not be denied his pleats. Khaki-less to the combine, Harbaugh ended up buying an $8 pair of billowy khakis from Walmart. It's an addiction, dammit.

From Fernando and Greg on 99.7 NOW:

"I will not take the blame for his outfits," Sarah said.

"I've thrown them away many of times. I've asked him 'Please, pleats are gone. Wear the flat front.'" she explained to Fernando and Greg, "He has a flattering body."

That top photo doesn't do those pants justice. Let's get a vertical photo of these bad boys.

Niiice. Pleats for days.
