My oldest son wears same black, heavy, denim pants everyday. Every couple of days I insist he wash them. The thing about these black pants is the it has about ten straps going from one side to the other.

I noticed that there are a lot of kids these days wearing these strappy pants. My daughter has a pair, but they are of a very light fabric and are of a light color.

They do constantly get hung up on things and are constantly getting ripped off one end or the other. All the kids complain about it, I teach them how to sew, they get ripped again, and so on and on.

I'm from the Bell Bottoms and Nehru Jacket 60's. I still have my Goodyear tire bottom'ed leather sandals. So I've seen some wild fashion trends. Perhaps it's a sign of old age that I don't understand these straps. I don't understand why they are so popular.

my Goodyear tire bottom'ed leather sandals


Oh my god!!!

I thought I owned the last pair of those in existence.....

They were called "Treads" and are impossible to wear down. The leather will give way before the tread ever wears out....

Now that I'm reminded of these, I wonder why I've still got them....... it's not as if I can wear them anywhere! They're hideous!

Wreckless.

I'm not, but I still love nehru jackets and bell bottoms.  I think I was born 10 years too late (1969).  I'm just a flower child at heart...30 years too late!
