A pair of trousers?

Lando Griffin

There Saturday morning I decided to go to the Drapery store on Main Street to buy a new pair of Wranglers for the Christmas.
The draper had no Wranglers my size 26L 46W but he told me that these skinny jeans were all the fashion and all the young lads were into them.
Luckily he had just one pair and they were my size.
I put them on and they looked ok so off I went to the pub to watch the Man city game and the Rugby.
I got home after evening mass and the OH could not believe that I was wearing them, she said they made me look stupid looking and to bring them back.
Unfortunately they smell of beer and have a curry stain down one leg.
Have you ever been a trend setter in your area, and why is a trousers known a pair of trousers ?

I wear Dingo's.....Nuff said.

I'm probably the only one who liked jeans with the zipper.

Fùckin' hate button-fly jeans.

....she said they made me look stupid looking and to bring them back

Hmmm, what do you normally wear in the fact that she says wearing trousers make you look stupid? Just walk around in your boxers, that'll learn her.

I hate that skinny look, but as bad as it looks like on an anorexic looking teenager, I can't imagine how it would look on someone with a 40+ waist. I think your wife might have a point :eek:

Skinny jeans with these measurements 26L 46W??

Gerrouradat!

I've made the wearing of brown slip-on shoes, Bon Jovi t-shirts, and oversized Massey Ferguson belt buckles popular again.

They're called a "pair of trousers" when you get over 44" waist (it's related to the number of acres of cloth used...)

The "pair of trousers" comes from before we joined the EU. Back then people were born with different length legs. You would have to buy your pants in halves and sew them together yourself. Once we became European and metric, people were born with standardised leg lengths.

Am I the only one who finds it nearly impossible to find a cheap (20-35€) pair of jeans that fits me, and isnt fúcking skin thight to my thighs.

32-32 are my sizes and its nearly impossible. I have a waste skinnier than 32 but my legs are really thick so I have to go for that size or it will look stupid as hell.

Skinny jeans are great and anyone who says they aren't is old
But 46" waist? You'd be better off with a muumuu OP.

Skinny jeans are so tight they are actually causing a drop in sperm count among men so no longer do these hipsters have to rely only on their personalities for contraception.

FFS! Everyone knows that's a lie. If it were true, all the single men would be walking around trouserless because none of them can sew.

(The married ones would get their "Admin Dept" to do the sewing)

You're right: badly thought out argument on my part!

Skinny jeans are great. They're actually the most comfy things you'll ever have on in your life.

As long as you're not burdened with significant muscle mass.....or external genitalia

Maybe they were normal jeans, but due to your 46" they had no choice but to become skiny jeans

I'd say you'd be better getting cast offs from Kate Moss or one of those other leggy models.

I don't like skinny jeans, but they're better than those long, baggy jeans where the jeans legs get caught under the wearers runners and get dragged through mud and dog excrement. They look especially bad in the rain, when a big patch of muddy water soaks the jeans legs up to the knee. I've never understood how anyone could walk around in such discomfort.

You can get 26 inch leg jeans?

Even stranger, you can get 26 inch leg jeans with a 46 waist? And they had that size in stock?

I'm more of a nice frock man myself.

'skinny' jeans have been around since the 50's.
Fashions don't really change, just the names.

Hedgemeister

Wonder what's the singular term for Trousers (seeing as they're always referred to as 'pairs' of trousers ?
In my young days skinny jeans were called Drain-pipes and worn by Teddy Boys

Chinoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos!

Oh no they didn't

I wear skinny jeans, they are comfy! Not a fan of them on men though, think they look a bit silly.

Then again I haven't seen what my arse looks like in them, and I probably don't want to!

Zipper jeans make the best drinking pants. I hate having to go for a piss in the pub and deal with buttons. Takes so damn long to take a piss.

Less time pissin' = more time drinkin'

The huge advantage (pardon the upcoming pun!) that button flys have over zippers is that if you get a boner in a button fly jeans, you can do the buttons back up.

I can't tell you the amount of times I would've given anything for a safety pin when I used wear jeans with zips as a teenager!

26L and 46W you are taking the piss that must mean you are about 4ft 10 in height and as wide as a bus.

One that's set to 1981 methinks...the "skinny jeans" are actually punk/new wave era drainpipes.

The dimensions themselves aren't that inconceivable, a friend of mine has a body like a snooker ball, he's about 5ft in height and quite possibly the same in diameter, but what does surprise me about the OP, as somebody else pointed out earlier, is that they had these trousers in stock in their size, as my friend has to order his pants specially from the states!

im 34-34
can never find me bleeding size :L

46W 26L, I think you can get them in Duffys Circus shop.

I used have a pair of drinking pants that had velcro instead of buttons or zip.
