This post got me thinking we should have a thread about the most iconic pants in skateboarding
Pants have always been important part in skateboarding. Maybe the second most important piece if cloth right after shoes. With the current trend of patterning in trousers we have seen some questionable choices in video parts. some names that come to mind are sean "pablo" murphy with scotch checker wannabe sid vicious, kevin Rodriquez in tactical supreme pants and say nick trapasso in pyjamas not forget that triple camo dude..
What are your favorite or memorable pants in skate videos?
-
1992 Tom Penny. Natas shorts. Duffel. Muska' s red capris. Trujillo/asselin/Rowan short guys, baggy dickies. MJ and Guy can fight over who gets to own the straight leg brown cords

Biebel looking like a damn genie in Fully Flared is the best duh!
Yaje's pants game is nice too, weird without going full blown mid 2000s Jason Dill.
But from a practical level early 2010s Gilbert Crockett is probably where most people should reside. Sometimes dickies, sometimes jeans, never shorts unless its a million degrees, but why are you skating when its that hot go swim somewhere.

Puig in the short shorts.
Joslin with the muddbutt khakis.

Pants are so played out. I just show up at the park, "All shirt, no pants, like Winnie the Pooh."
Seriously, that Welsh photo is awesome for some reason. He's about the only dude who could pull off those sweats and a basketball jersey. It's getting to be shorts season here in DC. I'm not going Puig short, but I do like skating in shorts when it's warm out.

My friend and I like to call remarkable pants in skate videos 'favourite pants'. Glad to see Muska's favourite pants included.
Also, this thread reminds me of the purple sweat pants section in Switch Mongo.

exactly what i thought
i dig the new trend of wearing carhartt work pants, tbh don't even know if it's a new thing but i noticed a lot of guys in videos wearing carhartt double front pants lately
Carhartt double front pants are the dumbest skate pants ever. They do have a nice look to them but as a carpenter the only time you would ever wear them is for framing and concrete formwork. They are so stiff they stand up on their own. I often skate in carhartt pants on workdays but they are the lighter ones but have a similar look. Im 36 and gave up and skate in sweatpants mostly now. Belts make me have to pee cuz i drink too much coffee.

Do they use a softer fabric? Either way I don't like the double front. Too much material. I work mostly inside and the light carhartts last me a couple of years and are manageable for an after work or mid day skate in the colder months.

the small wheels era (early 90s) was all about those giant jeans cut off at the bottom and left unhemmed so you’d get loose threads at the bottom.

This seems like the right place to ask.
Why are people cutting the bottoms off their jeans again? Is this to reduce restriction? To encourage ankle trauma? I do not understand.

All of my jeans are second hand, and sometimes they come too long in the legs, so I just cut the bottoms off. I noticed it enhances ventilation which is quite nice. It is also a quick procedure.

My pants were insanely large. I remember I could fit a textbook in my front pocket. I must have looked like a complete dipshit, but I had fun doing it.

I could be wrong here, but I feel like Carhartt probably has something at least close to this color around that price range.

Tim o connor always had impeccable pant style. Also his shirt to pants ratio was on point.
Unfortunately tiago blows it by not wearing a long enough shirt to go along with his baggy pants. Does not look good when your pants are big and your shirt is short and wide.

Limpies for sure. Maybe the best logo ever too.
Ghetto Wear shorts were the best though. Bright New Deal pants were thinner than Blind jeans, which cut that fabric weight down. No wonder everyone was burning worms, we all had 20lbs of pants on.

Haven't done the research but I think D.C. skaters always dressed well, Stone, Martinez, Igei etc,, Definitely emulated some looks from that Pulaski article in Thrasher from the mid 90s (light denim with green Adidas Campus, college crewneck and an MLB fitted)

I had a small clothing brand during the big pants era, and jeans etc were my specialty. I still make pants from time to time, but my go to khakis are the Old Navy ultimate straight. They always end up on sale at some point and the fit is perfect - can't stand pants that taper so much they don't fit over the top of your shoe.

Depends if you're in the US or Canada. They're cheaper to begin with in the US, plus the dollar is worth more. I feel like they also go on bigger sales more often in the US. In Canada the base price is right around $40, but they're almost always at least 20% off. I tend to buy them when they're 50% off or buy one get one free. Amazing fit, plenty of length options, soft stretch twill. Make sure you get the ultimate straight, or the broken in straight. Everything else at Old Navy seems to suck.

Crockett's pants are still one of the best things to happen to skateboarding in the past three years.
I remain steadily loyal to Ben Davis OG cut pants and the Carhartt B11, Dickies 874 are wack and overhyped even if they are cheap.

I'm also curious if anyone here ever skated these mythical Zara pants that Kyle Nicholson talks about here:
http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2013/10/29/kyle-nicholson-deserves-more-coverage-so-we-interviewed-him/ (http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2013/10/29/kyle-nicholson-deserves-more-coverage-so-we-interviewed-him/)
Personally, I don't understand skating in slim fit AND non-stretch pants. I remember hearing about Corey Duffel buying Levis and sewing them into a skinny fit. How do you bend your knees and jump like that??? Even stretch pants start clinging to my knees with any bit of leg sweat.

Emerson Chino for $14-20 at Banana Republic clearance racks. They don’t last as long as Carhartt, but they can take a couple slams. Plus, they’re the comfortable, no matter how many times they get washed.

Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic khakis are all pretty good; soft and cheap online with a discount code or on a sale/clearance rack.
I generally run shorts and knee pads year round so I don't skate pants much but the Gap and company stuff wears well for me.

Gap/Old navy/ Bananarama pants are all cool if you dont mind crotch blow outs. Cant recommend them one bit for skating. even Levis 501s ripped hella easy. Work pants is a must for skating. Dont wear them to look like a cool 18 DIY builder guy, wear them because everything else gets ripped to shreds easily.

I just realized that 95% of skaters at my local park wear dickies.

Do you possibly have thick thighs? The only people I can think of that I know who rip crotches in pants are a bit on the thick side. I have never blown out a crotch in my entire life - not even when I made a batch of stretch corduroy pants that ended up being very fragile. Other parts ripped, but not the crotch. I'm also a super flexible dude who's legs sometimes practically go over my shoulders when I slam, so my pants get put through the ringer. Still, no ripped crotches. Sounds like there's some other factor resulting in you ripping crotches. In my experience, people who wear pants that are too tight/small for them are the ones who have that issue.

I'm also a super flexible dude who's legs sometimes practically go over my shoulders when I slam, so my pants get put through the ringer. Still, no ripped crotches. Sounds like there's some other factor resulting in you ripping crotches. In my experience, people who wear pants that are too tight/small for them are the ones who have that issue.

Another vote for overalls, this time from Dolan Stearns:

I'm also curious if anyone here ever skated these mythical Zara pants that Kyle Nicholson talks about here:

Personally, I don't understand skating in slim fit AND non-stretch pants. I remember hearing about Corey Duffel buying Levis and sewing them into a skinny fit. How do you bend your knees and jump like that??? Even stretch pants start clinging to my knees with any bit of leg sweat.
I was a Duffel clone for a long time, spray on jeans were actually easier to skate in than the looser cuts i wear nowadays. there's a point where your women's jeans are so tight that its basically a second skin and you're almost as flexible as you would be if you were naked. They are prone to horrendous crotch blow outs though but I still get those now.. ive never had a pair of jeans/trousers that haven't eroded at the crotch and I do not have thick thighs in the slightest.. super acidic ball sweat to blame?

I feel like Dela is largely responsible for the appearance of workwear Carhart's in the north american game. Europe has been on the carhart tip for awhile, which I like, but the euro ones don't have the same weight to the canvas and hang differently. This is a trend that I think will keep growing, but it's already getting a bit irksome.

I wonder? I've made pants for over 25 years, the only thing that accounts for "eroded" material/seams at the crotch is when the pants are too tight, or the person has thick thighs (which is essentially the pants being too tight). Pants with limited mobility (no stretch, poor design) can rip at the crotch, but they wouldn't wear away - same with poor workmanship - the pants would rip, not eventually wear down and then rip. Do you ride motorcycles a lot possibly? That could contribute to wear without the pants being as tight.
Also, ^ right now we're in a period when looking as goofy as possible is basically what's hot, so, cue the overalls.

KREW jeans were very tight yet flexed. I blew the crotches out of all of mine though. Except for the K05s i think they were called they were actually a baggy KREW pant.

Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic khakis are all pretty good; soft and cheap online with a discount code or on a sale/clearance rack.
I generally run shorts and knee pads year round so I don't skate pants much but the Gap and company stuff wears well for me.

nah im pretty average. I destroyed a bunch of cheap pants tho, some of which i got at old navy for like $12. they seemed like a good deal but they fucking sucked. I ripped some at the knee also from a weak slam. I switched to work wear and never torn any from one slam

Love them too but the dye they used on the black pair I got was garbage. After 2 washes they faded to a weird brownish grey usually reserved for overworn slipknot hoodies mall goths tend to wear. Not to mention they're dumb short.

How tall are you? Mine seem way too long and I’m 5’10”. I have a black pair with the dane dog print on them and they have held up fine colorwise. I have noticed they seem to use different material or quality randomly. I have 4 pairs and some feel a lot different than others.

5' 11". I got a medium and if they're at my waist there's a 3" gap between the bottom of the hem and my shoes, which doesn't bother me, except that when I push they fucking ride up almost to my knee.

Really tight pants also make your legs feel way stronger. Basically they act like support stockings.

Polar Surf pants, Big Boys and the 93 Denim and chords.
I skate in both the Big boys and the 93 Denim and they're so good!
I've noticed when polar does the second and onward drop of a piece of clothing, the quality increases so much. They get the fits perfect and everything seems well tuned.

This and The Austyn reference from earlier. I think the key is to buy the right size waist in a slim straight / modern straight legged pant and for the length go up a size so they meet at the ankles.
