It was 85 and humid today. I still wore pants.

Why?

I'm not really sure. It's probably because I'm oppressed and brainwashed.

[kaijyuu]

Admitting being brainwashed is the first step toward recovery.

[fqllve]

I like pants because: A- I don't like showing my pale red-haired legs, B- they allow more freedom of movement than ankle-length robes, and C- robes only encourage my wizard fantasies.

[Aklyon]

But robes are so much more comfy~

[fqllve]

Which is why I wear them at home when I'm relaxing. But I wouldn't want to do, say, carpentry in a robe.

[Aklyon]

You have a point there.

It was good enough for Jesus, it should be good enough for you!

[kaijyuu]

The problem with pants is they're often so thick and stiff. Not soft like a t-shirt is, and you always wear them unlike a jacket (which is also thick and stiff). It's probably why sweat pants exist as a thing.


I blame denim. It is an evil fabric.

I really doubt Jesus wore anything longer than the knees while he was working. He was probably just out there in his underwear.

Someone should make that into a bumper sticker, though.

I blame denim. It is an evil fabric.

Oh yeah, denim sucks. I don't ever where jeans unless I'm hiking or something. I wear slacks because they're light and breathe well.

[lordcooper]

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

Look at that, it seems I found my new sig.

You silly people and your odd definition of pants. Have a title update.

[Leafsnail]

I guess shorts are a reasonable alternative if you live somewhere where it's always warm and it never rains.  Any kind of long robe is clearly more restrictive to movement though (not to mention updrafts and stuff).  I mean, trousers move with your legs.  They have to be tougher than t-shirts since otherwise you'd wear them out extremely quickly, but any normal fabric isn't really restrictive at all (especially if you go reasonably baggy).  Even denim is fine if you're not in skinnies or some other weird cut.

You silly British people and your odd definition of pants. Have a title update.

ftfy (?)

Anyhow. Has anyone else considered the most comfortable of all possible things? Oversized hoodie. Like, way too damn big. Enough to reach at least miniskirt length, like a modern tunic. I wonder if you could get one tailored so that it was that long but not a meter wide.

[Wayward Device]

Pants are the opposite of dignified.


They are symbols of the oppressed.

So what you're saying is that in the future, after the Revolution* establishes** a perfect, free, leg-garmentless*** Utopia, then the only threat to humanity will be posers and other assorted riffraff bringing them back "ironically"?

*Presumably, numerous fashion designers will face war crimes charges for their numerous evilz.

**I imagine our forces will have a significant advantage in mobility due to the lack of lower body restriction, but won't have the discipline of of their trouser-controlled opponents.

*** Leg warmers and so on will still be available, but those who desire them will have to visit specialty stores and won't be allowed outside on alternate Sundays.
