Jim Harbaugh and his khaki pants are the platonic to romantic story arc that has everyone in the league hollering, including his former player Josh Wallace. Even though the DB has just spent one season with Jim Harbaugh, one where they became the CFP National Champions, Wallace has enough inside secrets to keep the fans hooked on Jim Harbaugh’s obsession with his khaki pants.
It was since his days as a QB coach at San Diego that Harbaugh grew fond of the pants, thanks to his assistant Dave Adolph. There has been no turning back since then for Jim Harbaugh as he developed an irresistible fond for his signature pants, so much so that he even wears them while having an ice bath!

Wallace had some interesting encounters with his then-head coach during his one season at Michigan. One of which he revealed during his recent press conference. “You know Coach Harbaugh; he works out in the morning. I walk past what we call the car wash and he’s in a full uniform. He had his khakis polo, in an ice tub like it was crazy,” Wallace said, laughing out loud at his uproarious confession. It was a cue for the fans to go berserk as they said, “Jim is insane.”

Harbaugh spilled the beans on it during his appearance on Jed Hughes’ podcast. It started as practical, logical advice from Adolph when Harbaugh asked him why he wore khaki pants every day. “Pockets, put my script in the pockets, place for my pens. Place for my whistle,” Adolph said. It was a eureka moment for Jim Harbaugh as well as he said, “It just made so much sense, it just made perfect sense.” Later, when revealing how wearing the same type of pants has aided him in his daily life on ESPN’s Mike and Mike Show, Harbaugh also confessed that “I can even work out in them too.” Safe to say, the fans’ reactions, despite being varied, were wild!

After all these years, hardly anything could vie against the comfort level Harbaugh has gained with his pants. No wonder he can work out in his khakis as well. While the mere thought of it did not sit well with some fans, others thought of it as ‘classic Harbaugh’.
Love this. I’d like to say this surprises me…it doesn’t. Jim is one of a kind.
