Precisely one week ago my colleague, senior editor MacKenzie Chung Fegan, Slacked our entire team a link to these Party Pants from Tillamook’s new Cheddar Capsule collection. There was no text attached; there didn’t need to be. They’re cheese-colored pants custom-designed for storing a lotta cheese. “Finally, I can take cubes of cheddar from the party cheese plate back to my apartment,” said senior social media manager Esra Erol, who is as smart at living as she is at dairy-heisting. (Keep an eye on her around your charcuterie.)
As someone whose mother recently accused her of being anti-capitalist, “like that sad protagonist in Conversations With Friends,” it’s rare that I see branded merch and think: Wow, cool, I love to be sold things that are designed to turn me into a walking billboard. Maybe it’s their sturdy-looking ship icon or the sort of Old World font they use for their logo, but I like to think of Tillamook as the nice guys of Big Cheese. They’re based in Oregon (cue the kooky Portlandia vibes). They’re a farmer-owned co-op. Their cheese is genuinely very delicious.

Shoplifting pants.
You gotta look sharp
You gotta look sharp
And you gotta have no illusions
Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder
Soon to be the favorite attire of drug mules everywhere.
very witty!
How cheesey!...........................
I wonder what marketing genius came up with that gouda idea?
Fugly.
I hear the pants are grate!
Do they include a knife so you can cut the cheese?
I’m so sorry...
Look carefully for the best price on them.
You cheddar shop around.
Some retailers can rip you off. They’re like some sort of muenster.
Trying to skim extra profits.
Paying too much can leave you blue. They can be Krafty.
This article and photo begs a simple question, “WHY?”
Fugly and frumpy.
Yep.
The family grocery store I used to go to until last month stopped selling filet mignon and other good cuts of beef as they were being stolen to where the meat coolers were almost bare. People had clothes that could hold about 20+ lbs of meat.
Locally owned, not a lot of money to hire more people and they have been targeted by a certain group of people. Nothing can be done.
Not all it’s cracked up to brie. I camembert even thinking about it.
That’s gouda!
Don’t get me started.......................
imagine how the swiss version looks...
Their cheese may taste good but I won’t buy it precisely because of - OREGON. I don’t support leftist states.
You can also shoplift Gouda, Edam, Gorganzola, Emmental, or even a lovely French unripened le beaufort chalet d’alpage!
Best pants ever
