If you want to wear them 5 years from now that's cool, but I want be wearing them. You don't have to convince me fam, do what makes you happy i guess. I'm just saying that I don't buy clothing I can't see myself wearing for a while

Yup, im right along with you. The Mercer joints is the style I like. I got every color in the H&M sweats last fall and copped the black ones a couple weeks ago since they just made them this year. I'd love to get my hands on a pair of tan and camo Mercer joints or any other brand that makes them like that. I picked up a camo pair of the Philip Lim x Target sweats but havent worn em yet cuz they seem too thin to me. Feel more like pajamas lol

What? The 80s was easily the worst decade of fashion in the last 30 years. Yeah, no one was wearing stuff like this. They were wearing oastel colors, Zubaz, leg warmers, and other gym apparel as regular clothes. Born in the early 80s as if you remember the staple pieces of that era. Give me a break.Nobody in the 80's was wearing stuff like this, I'm born in the early 80's this is some new age crap

Settle down.
40% of America doesn't represent everybody.
And if your had any memory of sweats in the 80's through 90's it was mostl bodybuiders
And white people wearing those atrocious zebra rainbow colored missy eliott sized sweats.
I can assure you no one was wearing snake skin leather drop crotch joggers

what are you talking about?
mad people were rocking Jogger pants style jeans in the 80's.
First of, I don't know where you got that number from, but 40% of America represents a HUGE percentage of the population.
Plus you have to think about the fact that, according to the Population Reference Bureau, during the 80's the elderly population made up over 11% of the population (http://www.prb.org/pdf11/aging-in-america.pdf).
This means that, if you take away the elderly population who we can safely say never follow the contemporary dressing trends and therefore didn't make up any of the jogger pants population, then just slightly over half the population was wearing this kind of stuff.
When looking at a nation's population, 51% represents such a huge number that slightly over half can be taken as the majority.
This means that, according to the figure you just put out there, a majority of americans in the 80's actually were wearing jogger pants-style pantaloons and trousers.

So you're telling me that nobody wore pants with elastic at the bottom in the 80's? Be they jeans, sweats, khakis or any other variation? You have to be kidding. I'll just assume you only looked at the initial picture on page one and made your statement based on that.

So hard to believe I could remember that far back?
No I didn't say ppl never wire elastic please read again
40% is not so large, especially when one of the 2 groups I accounted for is considered an activity or hobby
And the other group was largely the influence where that trend was catching on.
I'm throwing out percentages tahat aren't exact but I can tell you most ppl
Weren't wearing drop crotch or animal leather print sweats if your arguing otherwise
Then I beg to differ

Like I said, i guess you're referring to the initial picture on page one and not jogger pants in general. This thread has been more about the style of pants in general rather than the few examples of printed ones in that picture. So if you're saying no one in the 80's was wearing snakeskin printed pants then yes, you may be correct, but if you're insinuating that no one in the 80's was wearing slim pants with elastic cuffs at the bottom (i.e "Joggers") then you are incorrect.

That's exactly what I'm saying.
Didn't think it was really that hard to decipher a simple point instead of trying to argue for the sake of proving me wrong.

Ehh.Are they really good? I thought I read somewhere they're thin and quality isn't good?
Price is good, but the upper part is too big, felt like a balloon. The leg part was really slim. I tried on a 32" (my waist is 30 - 32), wasnt really a fan. I was gonna try on the 30" but I felt the leg portion was small as it is.
