Given the particular method they used to turn him in "Awakening," they would have had the perfect opportunity to give the Leather Pants of Evil a nod by having Angel request a dry pair and tell the gang where his leathers were hanging at the beginning of "Soulless."

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
A former husband of a Bronzer had this wonderful fanwankolicious theory about how the leather pants made Angel evil.
Correlation is not causation...
this must be rectified.
No, I don't think so. He's not really the "leather pants" type. I myself have a pair of Faithpants (vinyl), which can be used to indicate when I'm feeling skinny, though not evil. Of course, the other test boyf refers to when we watch Angel is the -mere- test. If Angel is shirtless, then -mere- had a hand in the episode, goes the old saying. (I think this has been proven wrong a number of times, but it's a fun theory anyway.) So now I'm wondering, if we continue to draw the parallels between my boyfriend and Angel - if my boyfriend takes off his shirt, does that mean -mere- is COMPOSING his life? If so, a big thumbs up to her! She should write it more.
ETA: Also, I'm pretty sure leather pants are readily available in LA.
My husband has been saying "Don't be evil" when he drops me off to work each day. I have pointed out that since my leather pants don't fit any more, I can no longer be evil by definition.
Do you really need -mere-to compose his life in order to get the result of more shirtlessness? Just asking him to take off his shirt should serve as well.
Someone should market leather underpants. So you can be evil in seekrit.

I wouldn't think leather underpants evil would stay seekrit for too long, because I think they'd make one cranky.
Not quite underwear, but... [link]

It does, but it's not like you can have too much.
Just what I need, a dead-cow wedgie.
But not...perfectly happy, right?
No, because I know that it'll be followed by "Redefinition."
