Former private school boy torn between wearing his chinos normally, or rolling them slightly up to flaunt the labels on his R.M. Williams

FASHION DILEMMA: As summer’s hottest months approach, one Double Bay man has been considering rolling up his chinos, but not for the reason you may think.

“A lot of my friends have begun rolling up their pants to expose the labels on their R.M. Williams,” says Ben Jamison.

“I’m yet to make that transition, but to be honest, I’m seriously thinking about it.”

The 34 year old says his reluctance stems from his time as a rugby playing private school boy.

“School boy rugby and rolled up chinos don’t exactly go hand in hand,” he says.

“I’ve seen how it looks in the mirror at home, and I’ve never felt comfortable going outside in public like that.”

However, with a little encouragement from DBT, Ben Jamison finally took the plunge today.

He stepped out in Double Bay’s busy shopping area, wearing rolled up chinos, revealing that unmistakable R.M. Williams branding.

“It feels a bit try hard,” he admitted. “But at least people know my boots are R.M. Williams.”

“There’s so many copycat brands out there. It’s important people know I’m wearing the real thing.”
