OK guys, fess up. Did you ever own LEATHER pants?

[yvr girl]

What about skinny leather tie?

Edit to add: Post pictures if you dare.

[Giant Robot]

1. No and yes

In that order.

[matcom]

2. yup and yup

also parachute pants in the 80's :hide:

[yvr girl]

4. How about rugby pants

Then you'd have the trifecta of 80's pants.

[In_The_Wind]

3. Do leather chaps count?

no leather pants or skinny ties ...

[WhollyHeretic]

5. No on both counts. I do have a few frightening skeletons

in my fashion closet. I think the worst were Cavaricci's and Skids when I was in middle school. :blush:

[billyskank]

6. No and no!

I was born in 76, so I was too young to look fashionable in the 80s. And I subsequently never started!

[terrya]

7. I have a pair of leather pants

But I need to lose about 20 lbs before wearing them.

[Ohio Joe]

8. Yes and yes

I also had a leather jacket that went with the outfit. No pictures though, sorry.

[Maestro]

9. No, but I had some cool

parachute pants!

[miss_american_pie]

10. Leather miniskirt count?

[In_The_Wind]

13. I hope so.

Although my leather skirt isn't exactly a mini ~ it looks great with boots.



:hi:

[Giant Robot]

14. I think that counts double

:blush:

And just a side note, I think my wife threw out my leather tie when we moved in together. She made some comment about updating my wardrobe past the '80's. I'm not sure why....

[yvr girl]

20. Sure

Why not.

[tjdee]

11. God, I hope so.

Leather pants, while kind of cheesy, look really good on certain men. Same with kilts and knee highs. :loveya:

I think Shah Rukh Khan has worn a leather pant or two in his day. Squeal.

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. I currently own a pair of leather pants.

And yes, I look super hot in them.

[Flaxbee]

15. I had a leather miniskirt, a suede miniskirt, and I still have

a nice pair of dark olive green suede pants. Is suede OK, or a no-no?

[xchrom]

16. absolutely!

and i look{ed} fabulous in them.

and that skinny tie thing -- uh -- no --
not for my neck anyway.

:smoke:

[lizziegrace]

17. Leather was in

while I was out...

:)

[Parrcrow]

18. no on the pants. Yes on the tie.

I had a suede tie too.

[Benfea]

19. No to the pants, no to the skinny tie.

In fact, I used to go to mosh pits and goth bars dressed in blue jeans, sneakers, and loud Hawaiian shirts. I enjoy sticking out like a sore thumb.

[UncleSepp]

21. I have four pairs of leather pants.

Three of them are actually... *gasp* comfortable. The fourth is for effect :-D

[LeftyMom]

22. No, but I had a leather ankle-length coat.

:blush:

[zone]

23. No, but I can chew through them

[Heidi]

33. I thought you were a vegetarian. (nt)

[leftofthedial]

24. yes and no

still do and never did

picture? yeah right.

[RetroLounge]

25. Coincidentally...

:rofl:

RL

[yvr girl]

29. I had this feeling

;-)

[Redstone]

26. Good GOD, no!

Redstone

[Maddy McCall]

27. I'm a woman. I did. In the late eighties.

And parachute pants, too.

[democracyindanger]

28. I own a one-piece leather outfit with kneepads

[northofdenali]

30. Got the pants!

And the jacket.
And the gloves.
And the boots.
And the vest.

but, alas, no tie............

[Robeson]

31. Oh, yes. I had leather pants. Not ties though....

...I loved my leather pants, as did others....;-)

[yvr girl]

32. Then you must have pictures

Don't be shy...

[Robeson]

35. I wish I did. I would post them if I had some....

...nothin' shy about me!....:-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. I think I wanted to once

During my Freddie Mercury phase. For about 20 minutes.

[ForrestGump]

36. Yes to both

The tie wasn't my idea (I don't do ties, anyway) and, yes, it WAS the late '80s.

The leatehr pants are armored motorcycle pants.

But I'd wear a pair of leather jeans, at least fairly form-fitting ones...it seems to be not uncommon in the UK but rather unusual here in the US, unless you're a rocker or a poseur. But I'd gladly revert to my lifelong tendency to I-don't-give-a-f***-what-you-think-of-my-sartorial-sense if I found the right pair of leather pants.

I love the pirate shirts, too, like in International Male, or any similar shirt that laces at the chest...and, again, I don't care if anyone else thinks it looks silly (and I love concho belts so, overall, I think my ideal casual wear is pretty much what Jim Morrison was sporting in 1968). After all, I spend half my time these days wearing studded jumpsuits...

[Robeson]

37. LOL! I used to have a "pirate" shirt, too.....

...and if I do say so myself, I looked pretty hot in my pirate shirt and leather pants, or as you say , a Neo "Jim Morrison" look!...:-)

[ForrestGump]

38. Cool, my brother!

If there's ever a big, national DU shindig that we meet up at, we'll both have to don our Jimbo threads and break on through to the...um...wherever they keep the desserts... :D

[KitchenWitch]

39. yes
