Leather Trousers

June 06 2012

So... pretty much the most sexual item of clothing ever invented? On boys and girls. I'm not talking biking leathers here, though they're good too. I'm talking the Russel Brand-esque, the I'm-a-comedian-but-I've had-more-shags-than-a-70s-carpet-store kind of look.     Who has 'em? When do you wear 'em?   I want a pair, but I'm not really a fetishist. I'm fully aware that if I want to wear them without being ridiculed I have to either a) start a band b) add a few metal rings to my face c) go full vampire c) go full gay and/or d) reboot Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. None of those scenarios are overly likely at this stage, but I'm not willing to rule anything out if I get to walk stylishly around in a dead cow.   The closest I came to buying a pair was in some markets in London, but (un)fortunately they didn't have my size.   Are they worth it? Should I just wait until I'm 50 and have some kids I can absolutely mortify them with?   Ladies, if you have a pair, I think you should do us all a favour and wear them out this weekend. The weather seems to be up for it, and you know the adoring crowd here will be*!   *That's a penis joke.

    If you happen to go full vampire you will need to update your pics.....that I would love to see! (after thought: hmmmmm so if vampires can't been seen in mirrors can you still see them in pics?)   btw.....you know it's a bad joke when you need to explain it

    wearing are leather....not your average black ones......but I enjoy them because the feeling is great against the my skin...they mould and breathe very differently that a fabric pants ...and they look pretty cool I think....I wear them in winter when the weather permits....and I don’t need a special occasion for them

    Mr has four pairs, and Mrs Rocker five. That's nothing compared to the jacket collection though 8-)You pretty much can't wear any of them out on the town without hordes of people coming up and starting conversations about them. So, we tend to not wear them :( Without a doubt though, the ladies love them! I think it's more that they are 'different', and it takes a confident person to wear them. Maybe they just want to have a little rock and roll fantasy...If buying a pair, they really need to be tight to look good... doesnt need to be so tight you cant get them on or off, but they have to fit tighter than regular denim. They will feel overly tight until you get used to them... then they feel like a second skin... which I guess they are!Most jean style leather pants are cut the same as Levi 501's, which we find uncomfortable (too high in the waist). Bali is good for custom stuff, and under $100 a pair. Expect $400+ in Australia. A GENERAL guide for quality, is that if there is a join in the leather just below the knee, they are usually of a lower quality leather (they are skimping to save leather too), unless it's lamb (quite rare). You want the thinnest leather possible. Email if you need some links to reasonable custom and standard ranges that we can recommend.

    Black leather, eyelets & laces up the side. Ex-biker chick here. The look never dates, I still have them probably bought them from the same stall in London you were looking... My matching jacket still fits perfectly.

    Love it Neptune. You are too funny....   Yes, I owned a pair that I bought probably at those same London markets back in 1998. Wore them on and off when they briefly came back in fashion for the next 12 or so years and only got rid of them last year. Recently bought a pair of "wet look" leggings that are similar and look hot with FMB's - wouldn't recommend them for you though unless you want to show something off ;). Kind of miss the old leather trousers - plenty of wild night memories.....Mrs Waterbabes xxx

    Brae in his leather pants........*drool* *drool* and *drool* . Oh and Mr Drift? Dont let age stop you from mortifying your kids. Start 'em off young so that by the time they are the age my eldest is...they are virtually shock-proof!

    I suggest PVC or another equally form-fitting and shiny substance that is not of dead animal origin. They are cheaper (unless you're buying from one of those uber trendy vegan online stores who think the higher the price tag the more ethical the product) and you won't strike out with men/women who object to leather. In fact, it could even be an "in", a conversation starter and a tick already in the "yes" column. When I get a pair of non-animal sexypants, I think I'll wear a t-shirt explaining that they're non-animal and wear it at all times. That way I won't get ranted at in seedy clubs before I have a chance to explain. Or, heaven help me, wear a can of crimson Taubman's paint from the local PETA member as they and their facial piercings leave the hardware store.

    Geez, just reminded me about the leather hot pants I bought in Amsterdam two years ago... Bought them more as a laugh, but they looked damn sexy! Maybe it's time to get those out of the wardrobe. With a pair of sheer pantyhose and black heels... I think I know what I'm wearing on my post-exam celebratory night out traipsing around Sydney

    I think what would really worry me is getting a raging hard-on wearing leather pants. Which I would expect to happen fairly frequently when all the nubile young groupies throw themselves at me. And the not-so-nubile groupies that have their own pair tucked away in the back of a cupboard somewhere, waiting for a revival. I can only imagine leather pants would be... restrictive, and not stay done up for long!Mike & Shell, I think that's partly what appeals to me. Unfortunately I missed the 70s, but they sounded like fun!I like the suggestions to get them overseas. I think I will wait for a trip. Finding leather jackets (of which I have a couple) in op-shops for £10-£25 was incredible after the cheapest second-hand ones here go for $100. Not too fussed on forking out half a grand for a pair of trousers when that could cover a good chunk of the airfare!Mrs Waterbabes, I know exactly what you're talking about. Those shiny black things that look like you've been poured into them...Thanks for the tips Rocker Couple, you're obviously the experts in this matter. If the time comes when I do lash out (!) I'll definitely seek your advice.Slipps - I'm not so worried about leather. I appreciate where vegos are coming from, but I just don't think I could pull off PVC (and not just because I hear they don't breathe well and stick in the heat!) Could go pleather though.Mrs Paradise, I believe in you! Your country needs you (to get into those pants!)City Kitty - Wear them to your exam, sit in the front row. If the marking's scaled you'll give yourself an unfair advantage, 'cause the rest of the class won't be focusing on the questions!
