I kind of want to like them and not just because I am cheap

I can't quite visualise how they could be worn so as not to look like a teenager on patchouli.

I love the idea of some brightly coloured ones for camping...(this would be a very specific type of camping without rain and with order and thick duvets)...

I dunno. Help me.

Nomads clothing had some wide leg cotton trousers with a jersey waistband that you can fold over to get a similar effect but without the bunching and flappy trouser overlap. Might be worth a look on EBay if they no longer stock them.

plus you can pull then down quickly if your pelvic floor is shot

You need palazzo trousers off amazon! Far better than fisherman pants.

:-)

I have a really good pelvic floor.

I have annoying, short, fat legs and cankles but I have a pelvic floor of iron.

People are always saying on these thread, what are your good points?

Well, mine is my pelvic floor.

Its what's inside that counts.

I wore these 20 years ago too when travelling.

I still recall DM saying "I think you should have left them to the Thai fisherman" and she was right.

But they are super comfy and never fell down.

AndIFeedEmGunpowder · 11/06/2014 13:09

Mine fell down in Bangkok airport in 2001. Never again.

Sigyn · 12/06/2014 09:20

lololol Gunpowder

That is my great fear tbh

I have three kids and my memory is not what it used to be. I fear I will need more than a slender ribbon of calico to hold up my modesty.

So anyway, I'm thinking this is a no...

My first, and only, thought was "Why??"

Sigyn · 12/06/2014 09:30

lolol.

There was a thread just recently, which I can't find and anyway I'm confused about linkery ettiquette, in which thai fishermen trousers seemed to be the solution to everything short arse.

I'm seeing that there might be a bigger picture.

I've got a pair that I wear on holiday - great for over a bikini /swimsuit with a pair of flip flops. They're actually quite easy to get on & off once you get the hang of tying them.

Shizzy · 12/06/2014 09:32

Wouldn't wear them anywhere other than the pool side / beach though.

OwlCapone · 12/06/2014 09:35

There is a bigger picture, and it is your arse on display in a public area.

Not that I'm saying your arse is big, obviously.

And possibly people asking you for obscure Thai fish.

Sigyn · 12/06/2014 09:46

lol. No my arse is big. Are these big arse trousers? That's not good.

Shizzy yy that was my way of thinking actually.

I wish maharishi trousers would make a comeback. They served the same purpose really. I had a lovely pair works dragon up the leg when I was 16.

NigellasDealer · 12/06/2014 09:49

I used to have a pair of those thai trousers they are really ugly and make you look misshapen.

NigellasDealer · 12/06/2014 09:50

although a lovely pair of 'catch mohammed' trousers from the grand bazzaar in Istanbul looked fab for years.

burnishedsilver · 12/06/2014 10:13

I saw lots of people wearing these in Australia. I didn't know what they were. Tbh I thought they were maternity trousers. They do nothing for the figure. They make everybody look like they've just had a baby.
