MSNBCs Steve Kornacki is charming the pants onto people: Gap khakis, that is
Turns out that chartthrob status is good for business good for the Gaps business, anyway.
The clothing chain has confirmed a surge in sales of its standard khaki pants after it was revealed that MSNBCs map guru, Steve Kornacki, wore them on election day and beyond.
We saw a dramatic increase in online traffic and within a day, the number of Straight Fit Palomino Brown khakis we sold online went up 90%, a Gap spokesperson said Thursday.
The pants in question sell for about 60 bucks, though in our current pandemic shopping environment, there are myriad discounts to be had. (This is what it means to shop like a journalist: Never. Pay. Retail.)
