Dooley is clearly a man who cares about his appearance - you only need look at his hair to know that. So when all the sports media and Vols fans exploded with commentary during the Vols' first game about the orange pants Dooley was wearing on the sidelines, I felt completely vindicated. The pants have now even spawned a fake Twitter feed.


And now, thanks to a promotional video UT aired during last week's game about the making of the pants, we know how much they cost

Yep, that's a screencap from the video showing what appears to be the work order for the pants with what appears to be a price of $1,423.32 on it. The pants were tailored by John H. Daniel down in the Old City, and we know custom tailoring is not cheap, especially when custom dyeing is involved, so that price seems to be pretty on par with what we'd imagine.

Dooley could have gotten them a lot cheaper in Alabama. Derek is just a lot bigger in Tennessee.

I think he's just trying to find solidarity with the clothes his players wear off the field:

He should have come to China.  I got the five piece tux for my wedding tailored for approximately $158.73 (depending on the exchange rate that day).

I wouldn't have gotten married if I'd had to wear an orange tux.

Ok..I'll admit it.  I love the pants, but hate the belt buckle.
