OK, This Bothers Me...

I'm old enough to remember how comfortable it was to play in pants that didn't fit like shrink wrap that hung below our butt cracks. The total length of modern pants now from the clasp or button to the crotch is now 3.875 inches. The pants makers are saving so much money on material, convincing people that tight, butt-crack things are "stylish," while charging us for real pants. I'm tired of being squished and squeezed.

It was so nice to play in pants like this:

I had some khaki's made by Chaps that I really liked.

Also, turn on your safesearch if you are googling Chaps.

You can still find old man Ashworth, Haggar 100% cotton pants out there, people left them because they are heavy, too hot for warm temps and look bad with pleats.

Ah yes! I believe you and I suffer from the same thing -- generational awareness. The cure is to understand our advantage of old age wisdom and hindsight. Personally, I'm going to participate in Senior leagues and outing this year so I'll be around those with the same wisdom and hindsight of old age.

And, I'll be comfortable doing it!!

Later,

John

foot thru the bottom..lol

A 1958 Dodge D500 was quite comfortable but I'll bet you do not drive one.

Don't like having my "boys" squished.

How did Austin Powers have room for the "twig & berries"?

But I have a 76. It's quite comfortable, too.

Jackets are getting "trimmer", too.

At the end of the day, girls want to see our bulges.

Gotta get with the times

Dockers loose fit. Problem solved.

Most women prefer big, bulging wallets...

Maybe not as generational as you think.

"Don't wear skinny jeans 'cause my nads don't fit.". -JayZ.

Lol. I Go with slim fit, not skinny. My requirements are that I be able to run down the street in whatever pants I wear. If they are a strechy golf material they can be a touch slimmer. If they aren't very giving they have to be a bit bigger.

Yes. Bought my first pair of actual golf pants this year (Puma 5 pocket, very nice, would recommend) and they are stretchy. Protects the meat and 2 veg nicely.

In a year or two, the pants that the op speaks of will be back in style just like the tight sansabelt pants were in style before the baggy Khakis became the latest in style and acceptance.......

Waaaaiiiitttt! Are you telling me that fashion is cyclical and they just recycle the same crap over and over?!? Blasphemy!

Sorry I am not pulling my pants up to my armpits like some of the pics you posted. I'm old - but not that old :-)

Izod golf pants and one of best fitting pants you'll find and they can be found for under $30 a pair

[/quote]What good are "bulges" if your nutz are shoved up into your chest.

LL Bean or Lands End

when walking several miles one should not have to choose the "left room" or the "right room" in your pants. It just ain't right.

I find the Nike Dri Fit pants aren't too bad. I do go up a waist size and they are more comfortable and not tight tight.

Adidas are ok but again can be tightish but go up a waist size and seem to be ok

Plenty of styles out there. Just look harder.

I don't see many "skinny" pants on the course. Slims aren't ball crushers. Not sure why that is the perception here.

These might help you out:

If you want to point the finger of blame - look to the metrosexuals.
