I skate almost exclusively in sweats/lounge pants/joggers. I’m at the point where I’m pretty much willing to say I actively dislike, if not outright hate, skating in jeans/chinos/“hard” pants

I've got some Edwin jeans that are pretty good, and they do loose styles - https://edwin-europe.com/loose-tapered-jeans-kaihara-dark-pure-indigo-rainbow-selvage-13-5oz-100-cotton-blue-unwashed-i030699-01-99

These look pretty good. How’s the fit & sizing? Do you have for example Polar 93s to compare them to.

[moonordie]

Thanks for suggesting the 569’s. I hadn’t seen those at the store I was in. I’ll give those a try.

Everyone is right on the nose about finding the best fit/sizing and ordering stuff online. It can be rough. Levi’s sizing can be all over the place too. And Carhartt…thrift stores are great.


I got some of the Belted Simple Pants from Dancer, Hjalte’s brand, on sale a while back. Very comfy and quality material.

They fit well but the low crotch kinda bugs me. I thought the built in belt would bother me but it really doesn’t.

The shirts are nice and thick too, but that’s for another thread.

I’d recommend pants from Dancer to anyone if you can find them on a good sale. They’re pricey but quality.

I vouch 100% on the 569, my all time fav pant.

For breathability and toughness, I gotta go with cotton (not poly!) ripstop

I've only in the last year switched back to even wearing jeans, nonetheless skating in them coming off years of corduroys, sweatpants, lounge or track pants. It's the tactile feeling of being really hot and sweaty with the heavy, damp denim rubbing against my legs. Hell, I'm even regretting my decision to wear a pair of Levis 505s today to work (at my desk job) when it's 73 degrees with about 95% humidity, might have to switch over to some Butter high wale cords I've got in the car.

Yesterday, I  skated in a pair of Levis 550 92 jeans. With my quad measurement of 24.5 inches, these jeans provided a pleasant change from the Levis 514 straights and other brands found at Target. I particularly enjoyed the taper of the 550 92's. Although I was slightly self-conscious, it was nothing compared to how I would have felt wearing Levis 560's.  I've noticed that jeans with stretch require me to buy a longer length compared to these 100% cotton ones. I'm interested in trying a lighter weight jean that offers a similar fit to the 550's.

Anyone have recommendations for a not too baggy pair of black cargo pants that don’t lose its color/fade too bad overtime with washes?

Kinda what I was referring to as far as pants that fade pretty badly. My local used rothco for their cargos and all em lost their color pretty quick.

how often are you washing pants?

[Pastasash]

how often are you washing pants?

As often as I skate so 3x a week. Man’s just trying to see if any companies have made a good material pant that can hold its color decently well. My surf pants for example have lasted pretty long

hear me out, don't wash your pants as much? shirts, socks, underwear, hell yeah! wash them shits every time you wear them!


pants, sweaters, jackets don't really need to be washed every time you wear them unless you get shit on them.

Dickies 873/874 flex fit the same in waist?

[Southernmost]

Pants madness.

I’m looking for some really dark indigo jeans with a relaxed to loose fit. Like the rigid unwashed or raw ingido denim.

I got some RVCA jeans that did mostly fit those criteria and were great for a week but they turned into skinny jeans after one wash.

I’m not opposed to getting Levi’s in a larger than normal size but I can never find 505’s in dark indigo or shrink-to-fit. Plus Levi’s quality/consistency leaves something to be desired IME.

Not looking for Polar Big Boys baggy or even 93’s or low rise or sits-below-the-waist type of things either.

I’ve kind of got that thiccness in the thigh/butt region y’know and the pants madness has been a struggle lately.

Any suggestions for a nice quality dark indigo denim with a relaxed to loose fit? 550’s? Doesn’t need to be a budget option.

Thanks.

I like 550’s. I usually size up 1-2 sizes. Macys or Levi’s outlet if you have those in your area. If you’re not opposed to pre owned I usually pick them up at thrift stores. My area has tons of good thrifts though. eBay or Poshmark should have a bunch for fair prices. If you can get a pair that’s made in USA or Mexico. They’re gonna be vintage or close to it, usually a much better quality and fit compared to the modern stuff.

No, don't have any Polar to compare, sorry. But my Edwins fit true to size for me.

Pretty bad advice for people who also get sweaty below the waist. Was hoping for real pants recommendations like this thread is for, not your unhygienic opinion on laundry.

I don’t own any, but the Quasi pants look to measure in the realm of 550s, maybe check them out…

found an old pair from 30 ish years ago at a relatives, skated them last night. the pants are a size up, and the fit is really comfortable. feels kinda weird wearing them, it’s what i wore 25-30 years ago, and now cool younger people have made it interesting, so i’m wearing my own old clothing, to kinda look like younger folks. weird.
looked better with half-cabs, but not terrible with dunks. fun to skate in.


@Pastasash the advice to not wash your outerwear, after every use, is very solid.
the rituals pastasash performs to feel ‘cleanliness’, aint all that (the water waste, introducing more chemicals to your skinsuit, and absolutely severely shortening the lifespan of your clothing).

Have you tried just putting them in a bag in the freezer? It works.

[Pastasash]

So it's ok to wash a shirt, socks, and underwear every time they get worn/sweaty, but I can't wash my pants every time they get sweaty?

You guys are focusing too much on my personal laundry preferences. I'm sure someone out there has a pair of black cargos that have held their color up over the years regardless of how often/little they wash their pants, and that's all I wanted to know.

If you can't give me that info then just ignore my question, or open a thread bashing me/people who do laundry idc, ffs.

[pizzafliptofakie]

Do you only skate in one pair of pants? 3 times a week a lot to wash any garment

[Pastasash]

Know what, forget I asked for anything lol. Did not expect to blow up your guys’ mind on a strangers laundry routine.

HAGS ✌🏽

[Crap]

I also don't think you need to wash your pants that much, but maybe you could just get 2 or 3 pairs of the same ones and rotate them so they last longer? Or if you have a pair that you like but the colour has faded, just re-dye them black?

If you're absolutely set on only skating in one pair of pants, and they have to be black, and they can't be faded, AND they have to get washed 3x a week without losing their colour; maybe consider some kind of nylon swishy type pants? Any kind of cotton/twill is going to lose its colour going through the washing machine that much, but polyester or whatever will hold it longer.

Ok ok I apologize for the rude responses. Came back to waive the white flag and share a laugh on the Always Sunny reference.
