Leather Trousers. Have you ever owned a pair of.

It's a bit 'hardcore fans only' that record, isn't it? I thought it was VERY PROFOUND when I was 17. I doubt I would now. Cracking version of Roadhouse Blues on it though.

I've never listened to any of the post-Morrison Doors records. I can't imagine I'm missing much.

 

[Red Cat]

I just found them, I think the last time I tried them on I could still fasten them though they were a bit tight, this time no way, and I can't understand how I ever could.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

No, never worn leather trousers.

Never though that they suit men, and few women.

The past is another country, which I believe uses a different system of clothes sizes.

 

[bimble]

interesting split in the poll, twice as many who for some reason never had a pair but a healthy leather-trousered contingent here too.

I'm assuming pleather is not counted as leather for the purposes of the poll?

Bavarian leather trousers as a kid, suede flares in my youth. Loved them.

 

[hash tag]

what shape is it, is it a leather blazer?

No, zip front, neck to waist

it counts, for the purpose of the poll.

Then consider me slightly shiny and a bit creaky.

I always thought Theresa May dresses well - her leather trews look ok to me.

 

[Thora]

I have some coated jeans, but I don't think I still fit in them

That explains what happened when I last tried my old pair on then, excellent

They look really practical as kid's wear, the Bavarian shorts, or were they uncomfortable?

 

[JimW]

Anyone own up to a catsuit?

 

[Saul Goodman]

No, because I'm neither a cowboy or a sons of anarchy fanboy.

They look flared / bootcut, which i feel like it negates the whole purpose of leather trousered-ness.

very comfy, the three-quarter-length ones. Keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Get softer the longer you wear them.

We were in shorts right up until secondary school rain or shine, though don't think our winters touched yours for real cold.

Yes. Some of the lyrics/ poems are quite good in parts , some of it is overblown pomp set to what seems to be 1970s porn soundtrack . Roundhouse Blues is excellent.
The two post Morrison are lightweight, I can understand they would never live up to LA Woman the final Morrison album and needed to change tack a bit musically but nevertheless lightweight.

Other Voices would have been average/ok even if they had had Morrison or at least a singer .
Full Circle is a band that’s on auto drive going nowhere unfortunately.

 

[kalidarkone]

I say wear what you want!! If you like them and you're comfortable then wear them.
Never owned a pair myself but if they are comfy and don't make squeeking noises when I moved I'd get a pair and I'm 59 in a few months

You'd look great in faux leather love xxx

Awww thanks! Wouldn't have a clue what to wear them with though

Full leathers liberated from large store whilst camping in Paris. Two up to Pakistan and back to London whilst wearing ( in the far distant past I was a Antarctic Angel for a while so filthy clothes and body were expected to crack up the citizens ) .I shudder to even think of what was got up to ( Rustle a sheep and kill it in a motel room [ not me you understand I'd been a vegetarian for some time even then] and so on, god I was a prick.) anyhow flogged them to some bike shop in Kent for next to nothing, quality stuff. Anyone who has experienced gravel rash will wear at least thick jeans or preferably full leathers on a bike.

 

[dessiato]

I've never had a pair of leather trousers. I've had a white PVC mini dress though.

 

[oryx]

Never. I think the nearest I've got is borrowing my brother's PVC trousers, which he got from the small ads in the back pages of the NME in the late 70s

I wear leather jackets a lot and wonder if 'double leather' might be a fashion crime like double denim, unless you're a biker. (The last time I got on a motorbike was about 1982 and the thought of it now scares me shitless).

Also can't get past the not being able to wash them thing.

Double denim and double leather are both fine.
Double stripes however.... Literally a punishment by the state

own up to ? certainly not.

 

[bimble]

The new leather trousers are not good and they are going back to whence they came. They weren't even lined properly, just weird fabric stuff glued somehow to the leather on the inside, very bad. The ones i remember so fondly they had slinky silky linings.
