Baggy pants skater vs regular pants skater identity crisis

[Gnarfunkell]

Dickies carpenter jeans fit well on me and are what I wear 85% of the time. I'd say that they're a straight fit pant. Not tight but definitely not crazy baggy either.

I recently came across a photo of myself from like 8 years ago at an office job and my fit made me shudder lol. Slim fit chinos that end right before the ankles with black leather slip ons... oof

for everyone reccomending the polar 93's do you all get your true size or do you size up?

[RichardBarkley]

Not pants but anyone what shorts he's rocking?

Anyone in the know ?

I like Lee Extreme Motion MVP pants. Jeans are just too heavy for me. I need lightness and some stretch.

Are any of you both? If so how do your homies react to you having no consistent pant fit?

I wear cargos and dickies in baggy fits, but most of my blue jeans are a more standard fit.

When I wear baggy cargos, my standard fit blue jean homies act like I don't exist anymore. They say "Gee I wonder where BurgerCop went? It's a shame he disappeared forever."
I'll shout "I'm here! I'm right here!" but they don't respond.

When I wear regular fit blue jeans my baggy cargo homies throw rocks at me.

This sounds like some small wheel rider problems
Some New York City Evan mock problems
No one care what tha fuck you wear dawg. Don’t flatter yourself.

[Ricky Vaughn]

One baggy and one tight. Both are capri length to show off my sexy ankles

your shoes will decide....

Wear what you like! There’s no reason to set barriers for yourself regarding your clothing. In my case, I wear baggy jeans most of the time, but I also have skinny ones and straight-leg Levis that are slightly rolled up. It also depends on the shoes I’m going to wear. Enjoy your pants!

You guys sound like you like buying pants. For me it’s the worst item to buy.

for everyone reccomending the polar 93's do you all get your true size or do you size up?

i’m 6 foot 1, 85kg, i do 34/34. the 32 length is a tiny bit short on me, so i have to get them a bit bigger. a 33/33 would be perfect. i hear from people that they fit bigger than advertised and are different every drop, between the 3 pairs i own (from different drops) they fit pretty much the same, microscopic differences, and i’d say they’re true to size. if you get them in your normal size they will fit like a looser straight leg pant, if you get them bigger they will be a not overly baggy but still baggy pant. i’m good with the 34/34 because i like a little sag and stacking on my shoes, then i make the leg opening smaller by a centimeter so they don’t drag. i have this light blue pair that’s almost 2 years old and other than a little scuff on the knee and tears from griptape around the leg they’re still perfectly skateable, so it’s def worth it.

there's like a hundred page loose pant thread......

[corey websturd]

You just got watch Nijah to understand clothing direction sometimes counts...
Despite that, a decent thick baggy to me would always be more comfy for the nuts.Before the baggies we used to grab surplus kakis cause we were looking for comfort already before style matter.

Gear crisis always comes down to pants.
Bad pants ruin what could have been good footy.
I was surprised Suciu admitted this recently. I rewatched some of his footy from maybe 8 years ago. Holy shit, his pants situation isn't particularly good now, but a few years ago it was atrocious. Spoilingly so.
I don't think there's an absolute answer, it's a question of matching to your body type.
Shorts are always a bad idea.
I don't believe in 2% elastic but maybe I just never found a pair with a good cut. Feels like a cop-out to me.
Carl Aikens needs to reign it in like 1 or 2 sizes.
TJ Rogers needs an intervention
Heitor was flirting with the bounds of taste but now seems to have perfected the balance.
Leo Romero needs to size up a couple of inches, for fucks' sake, they look like goddamned leggings.
Nyjah, strangely, I got no problem with.

 2012-2014 a lot of pros was using straight chinos and you can see especially in habitat videos, can't condemn him when everyone including "stylish and/or hesh" guys was rocking that type of pants, definitely the baggy pants of that time

874’s

Carhartt Doubles

550’s

501’s

93’s

I’m a regular fit guy. I feel like I look bigger than I actually am in really baggy pants or I look like an old man trying to look like a little kid. I pretty much just wear 505 Levi’s which are just 501s but with a zipper instead of a button fly. I have like 5 of the same pair and like 5 in different colorways. I wear 874 dickies a lot too. I have a pair of 18 east cords and they’re awesome too. I bought some regular fit wranglers from target for like 12 bucks each a while back I have like 4 pairs of just light denim color.

Writing this makes it seem like I have a lot of pants. Another guy posted about being 6,1 and like 185 and I’m not too far off from that so I’m curious about the 93s. Maybe I actually buy a pair of polar pants (I have 2 hand me down surf pants).

probably how you two dress

[addie pray]

i dress like you, only i buy hanes tees and dickies at walmart and don't add the 50% cool tax so i can talk about how the fit to other adult men

[Garbage Collector]

I can't decide whether to identify myself as wearing baggy pants or regular fit pants. Do you believe some people's physique/appearance is forever better presented through a single fit (baggy vs regular)? For those of you who have reached the end of your pants journey, how did you finally decide? What struggles have you endured? Are any of you both? If so how do your homies react to you having no consistent pant fit? I am not joking this is a serious topic I haven't been able to decide for months and it keeps me up at night. Like for example I'll see a pair of shoes i really like, but it won't work with baggy pants or vice versa. I didn't mention shorts or tight pants and dont wanna rewrite all of this so just pretend I did.

yo im debating same issue rn lol.

Hanes tees are fucking trash dawg, go kirkland

patiently waiting for the resurgence of pants that fit like Marc Johnson's Matix cords

So sick, dude. You just don’t care huh. You’re just…real

[Banned from the room]

I personally prefer the old Mad Rats look over everything else.
Why not show off the power you got below the waist as you bang tiles on the first wall come about and get bio on wall two.

That's skatebloarding

i too wear shit quality t-shirts, that doesn't change the fact that different pants fit differently. i have long legs and dickies are inconsistent as fuck while the polar pants fit me everytime. dickies are also almost the same price here since they're imported from the us. the polar pants are literally manufactured in the country i live in and i bought them at cost when working at a skateshop, where's the cool tax

judging from your shitty attitude and lack of self awareness I don’t think anyone would watch, but go ahead, big dog. Maybe you can make enough money from it to stop buying wal mart t shirts.
