A Fashion Statement They Are Not,

but these trousers will do one thing no other trousers's will do,


 last 100 years, guaranteed! 

 the trousers are made from an innovative, three-layer material, the outer layer is designed to resist abrasions and can repel water, the middle layer is fireproof and automatically expands, like an airbag, if it touches any flame, putting a barrier between you and the fire, the inner layer is made of aramid fiber–a nylon-related synthetic that can’t burn or melt, 


the material was developed by the Swiss brand Schoeller, a 150-year-old company that develops protective textiles for the military and police, in addition to other high-performance fabrics. “It was originally designed to help soldiers handle the most extreme situations, but without having to dress like firefighters,”  says Vollebak cofounder Nick Tidball, “Most fire resistant clothing is made from heavy, uncomfortable, chemical laden materials, but this is the world’s first intelligent material than can be comfortably worn every day, then alter its behavior in the face of fire.” are the garments as tough as Vollebak who supplied the photographs claims? You’ll just have to live another 100 years to find out, the 100 Year Pants are available now for $645, although they have already run out of stock for extra-small and small sizes, it seems expensive until you realize you that it’s only $6.45 per year, assuming you live for 100 years!
