Hopefully this doesn't require too much explanation. Other than why I decided to make this weird poll, but I don't really understand that myself.

Are we talking British or American definition of "pants" here?

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 1 July 2017 16:18 (six years ago) link

I do not wear "most pants", because I have standards. One of my standards is comfort.

And not the verb either

I voted #3 but the discomfort isn't caused by my genitalia, it's caused by my body fat being encased in unforgiving fabric tubes.

Though I do admire how the young women of today have managed to wear a cute version of sweatpants out and about and made that the norm.

But fuck pants.

since i had my cloaca installed in '08 i've enjoyed the luxury of freely picking and choosing from across the entire spectrum of pants, safe in the knowledge that everything from a jegging to a harem pant will be flattering AND comfortable

I'm generally pro pants but have been going through a not comfortable phase due to a combination of weight gain and testical sag.

i wore pants all fucking day today, in the intense heat, on the roof, in direct sunlight, driving 45 minutes there, 20 minutes there, then 30 minutes home, then walking the dog to the opposite edge of our usual route then running the dog all the way home because she was terrified by the fireworks. then i took off my pants and put them in the bin because mustard flew out of my mouth while eating a veggie dog and landed in the upper inner thigh area of my pants.

I think levis 511s changed and are not as slim as before. The bagginess is compounded by the fact that they stretch out over time and I keep needing to tighten my belt. Going to try to purchase some other pants tomorrow -- maybe 510s, maybe another brand altogether.

Treeship, Monday, 3 July 2017 03:54 (six years ago) link

I actually think something about the shape of my torso makes it hard for pants to stay up.

Treeship, Monday, 3 July 2017 03:55 (six years ago) link

my new 511s also feel wider but i think that's because i lost weight

I lost weight too but I remember being this weight before and 511s not being this loose.

I was on the fence here until someone raised the prospect of shorts. Count me in for Team Pants, swamp ass is a small price to pay for not being seen in shorts.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 3 July 2017 21:00 (six years ago) link

Much rather have my legs covered than un-, yeah, unless actually swimming. And IME, if your pants are uncomfortably tight, that means you are wearing the wrong size, wrong cut, or both.*

And because I am a burb dad who gives exactly no fucks, I can just find like one pair of comfortable chino-type thingies and just buy them in every color.

*: I have said the same thing about dress shirts. If you buy or wear uncomfortable clothing, ur doin it rong

Diana Fire (j.lu), Monday, 3 July 2017 22:25 (six years ago) link

Tombot, the answer is one, or two at the outside.

If a Banana Republic/Land's End/LL Bean no-iron chino is comfortable in tan, it will also be comfortable when purchased in navy, olive, charcoal, and (if you're feeling daring) bone. Five or six pairs will last me quite a while.

They can dress up or down as needed and they're fairly neutral colors. Most days, literally all I do is choose a t-shirt; if I need to go to an office I just put on a dress shirt or polo shirt instead. Occasionally I will buy jeans, but have rarely found any that are comfortable.

swamp ass is a small price to pay for not being seen in shorts.

Some time in the vicinity of 50 I gave up on vanity about my legs and allowed myself to be seen in shorts whenever the occasion moved me.

I wear shorts at home, but the vicinity of 50 was when my pale spindly hairless stems got too gross to go out without me changing into jeans.

Mr. Crackpots (WilliamC), Monday, 3 July 2017 23:22 (six years ago) link

Mr. 'boto, "most pants" may or may not be uncomfortable. I haven't worn all or even most of them, so I don't know.

All pants that I buy and wear are extremely comfortable. Otherwise I would neither buy nor wear them.

tokyo rosemary, Tuesday, 4 July 2017 00:35 (six years ago) link

My main objection to shorts is having to slather on the white housepaint several times a day to stop my legs from turning red and crispy; Aussie sun is fierce.

As for the trousers thing, very much in the camp of 'if hey are uncomfortable you are doing it wrong' although with a side of 'the clothing industry is seriously fucked up about sizing'. I've got trousers in my wardrobe that range from 34-40 inches in nominal waist size, some of which is cut and waistband position, some of which is wait change, some of which is just the vagueries of clothing and the rise of vanity sizing.

Happy to have lost a bunch of weight this year, though; being closer to what the clothing industry considers nominal makes things a lot easier.

since i was a teen i have preferred 70s slacks, "grandpa pants", the kind you see in thrift stores that may have come with a cheap suit at one time and are now to be had for under 4 dollars. maybe they are by Haggar. maybe they have a ticket in the pocket that says "Inspected by number 56". maybe the legs are too long and they drag on the floor around my feet. GOOD. i love it.
