Mariachi pants are super hot! The silver embellishments down the sides!!! Words are failing me right now to express why this is so amazing. But the reason I added a sword and shield is that Jen once mentioned how cool it would be if there was a line of clothing incorporating the elements of the Armor of God in Ephesians 6:11-17:

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

If you google “sword pants,” buried somewhere in the results is a snazzy pair of overly baggy jeans, the kind wanna-be rappers or gangstas might wear, with a sword embroidered in the midst of elegant flourishes, something like this:
