Acres of Pant

[Greg Gale]

I'm with @mulceber here, I think they looked pretty cool! Except the guy on the left in the first photo.

Nothing makes a man look more lame than today's "carrot pants". Super skinny fit, halfway down the arse, and then getting skinnier as you go down, stopping the blood circulation below the knee. Oh, and they're usually too short in length too. Funny thing is, it's mostly the gravitationally challenged, less athletic specimen that favor these kinds of pants.

I'd pick baggy 40's pants over those any time.

I read this thread title as ‘Acres of Paint’ and thought, good, finally a thread about the G-1 paint stains!

I'm with Greg here,

Looking at these WWII 40ies era photographs, they look cool, and some guys still get away with it today, if you're into that style. Sure takes a bit of courage to stand out in the crowd.
and knowing in US and UK there were regulations when it came to clothing. ( to save fabric)


And for the "carrot" pants... indeed horrific...
