Do you wear sweatpants?

American Giant sweatpants are the bomb.

never.

havent owned a pair since i stoped playing basketball at 18

NO as in HELL NO !!!!

Yip. But its kinda hard to find a pair without pockets for some reason. i like cotton.

At the gym.

Only in the winter and only in the house.

Even if i was a JOCK i wouldn't Wear Sweatpants = THEY SUCK !

sure, at home, after a shower. or after getting out of the water.

love them. the old lady doesn't allow "penis pants" in public otherwise tho...

Just when I'm menstrating.......

Never owned or wore any. Nor a sweatshirt/hoodie. for that matter.

menstruating

spell check

retreat back in the 1980s Quiksilver made The Best Sweatpants back then I wore them ( Channel Islands Surfboards ! ) and they were of Most High Quality !!

they're great if you're going for a lap dance

Not since I hit puberty.

And what shuffle said

Fuck yeah I wear sweatpants. My favorite pairs (yes, plural) are camo. One pair has elastic tapered ankles, the other pair is straight-leg. If I'm going out to a nice restaurant then I wear my plain dark gray sweatpants.

>>>>> If I'm going out to a nice restaurant

Like Sizzler?

That, or Outback or Applebees.

lol roland. I prefer to call mine jogging pants, and I have a few for lounging around the house only.

zoners who wear stone washed or jean shorts....but too good for sweatpants...

Call me a purist (or a weirdo). I hate pockets on sweatpants. I like them old drawstring grey types. Think gym teacher in the 80's.   just for laying around mostly, and when im menstraighting...

um interesting thread.

Around the house.

Once or twice to the laundry.

But sweatpants pockets don't do well with a handful of quarters.

My J. Garcia signature sweatpants are the best.

Only when I go to post gd shows

I lost my fave pair of sweatpants at a JGB Warfield show in '93. True story.

Last year I scored a pair of sweatpants from Duluth Trading, to go winter running in. They were so comfy that I got another pair this Fall.

I've put one pair on this winter, maybe once or twice. Comfy or not, sweatpants are an alternative lifestyle choice that I'm not fully ready to embrace and jump in to. 

On Friday nights, NJ mob bagmen wear their "good" sweats.

Maybe this will help. 

Not so much. I like to wear leggings though.

"Yoga" pants maybe, it depends on the pants. If they come in black that's a plus (comfortable fit is the other factor).

I love them. I have about 4 pair. But it's pretty seldom that I leave the house wearing them.

It's what I wear in winter in the house.  Never outside.

hmmm mmmmm

How many zoners have the I've and can't get up necklace?

//??????

oh, you mean the old 'ive and cant' necklace.....

yeah.... no...

Funny thread. Since I am home most of the time - Almost always were sweatpants. Have at least 10+ pairs. Some are nice looking that you can wear out in public. Others are just for around he house. Also have one for work only that have paint all over them. Have worn pants maybe 10 times in 7-8 years. Do not own blue jeans since I was about 10 years old. Never really liked pants thought they were restrictive.

Not really sure what is wrong with sweat pants. They have come a long way and are not just those grey ones you wore at gym class.

"Again with the sweatpants?"

"What? I'm comfortable."

"You know the message you're sending out to the world with these sweatpants? You're telling the world, 'I give up. I can't compete in normal society. I'm miserable, so I might as well be comfortable

I know a luthier who got to go to the RRHOF to spec out Garcia's guitars. 

He commented to the docent about the lack of belt rash on them. 

Guy said "Sweatpants don't leave a mark.". 

But no, never outside the house. 

Now the pajamajeans...

Baby daddy calls em "give up on life" pants

Jill - in my neck of the woods pj pants are the definitive sign that life is nothing more than scratch off tix, cheap coffee and Doral cigs.  Basically 70% of the people that walk into Cumberland Farms.

The one or two pair of sweatpants that I get for X-Mas are promptly cut into shorts that I wear around the house.

>>Not really sure what is wrong with sweat pants.

Nothing is wrong with them, some of our overly self conscious here think they would be off the cool fashion list if they wore sweat pants.

My lounging attire includes yoga pants.  Too bad I don't  have the yoga butt to match.

Fog really, really wants wearing sweatpants outside of the house to be ok...but it isn't.

Are you a member of Sam's Club, Slacker?

Jill - in my neck of the woods pj pants are the definitive sign that life is nothing more than scratch off tix, cheap coffee and Doral cigs.  Basically 70% of the people that walk into Cumberland Farms.<<

By us, these are the folks who wait until 10AM to buy smokes/Lotto 'cuz the Sweet Shop doesn't sell beer.

Don't have any sweatpants.  I do have a few pairs of flannel pajama pants but they don't get worn outside the house. 

Do also have a garage freezer.

>he one or two pair of sweatpants that I get for X-Mas are promptly cut into shorts that I wear around the house.<

now that is kooky...

I have a pair but only wear them about once a year when it gets cold.

Really been thinking about getting one of them one piece zip up auto mechanic suits, and going comando on free ballin fridays

Roll of quarters, sweatpants, chuckle chuckle

I can go to Kwik Stop or Safeway without changing.>>>

Slacker, can you post a pic of you rockin the sweats by the pool.

haha, Mark that was just a bait to get you to post in the sweat pants thread, here fishy fishy fishy..LOL !

Sweat pants are not in my normal rotation, i do own a few nice ones that i use for yard work or walking the dog on real cold days.

Fog, what percentage of your shorts have you cut the sleeves off or partially off of?

Derp.

I meant shirts.

Sweatpants in the house for sure in the pm lounging hours.

I couldn't imagine going out of the house in them.  Maybe if I was wearing a coat and had to make a grocery run possibly.

Where are you supposed to put your wallet and keys w/out the jacket?

Never cut sleeves off, i do have a few tank tops but none with that thin arm strap, terrible look. Tank tops are fine for the beach. Don't ever cut pants either.

Oh man, I love my sweatpants!!

Don't usually wear them out of the house, but when I'm home, there is nothing more comfy. Also, with four boys, we're always outside throwing the football or playing baseball, or something. And they are much less restricting then jeans!

Felina was spotted at TXR in sweatpants awhile back. Photo posted on the old PZ. Classic George Costanza look.

>now that is kooky...

I rarely, if ever wear pants around the house.  I tried the 'please don't buy those for me' route but they keep coming so instead of tucking them away in the closet or intending to return, which never happens, I cut the legs & put them to good use. 

gents, as long as your wang dang doodle isnt hanging out, wear what you want. After a day of work clothes, it feels good  to switch to the comfy mode. A related question is does anyone wear the union suit long johns? you know, the hillbilly one piece with a crap flap in back. Duofold makes a good pair.essential in the really cold outdoors. 

>>>Mark that was just a bait to get you to post in the sweat pants thread, here fishy fishy fishy..LOL !

A clever ruse indeed, sir. Dressing like a slob in order to get a Zoner to post in a specific thread is what the pros call a 'long troll'.

Well done!

>Where are you supposed to put your wallet and keys w/out the jacket?

That's what the fanny pack is for.  Helloooo....duhhh.

Roland is correct as usual, how daring and innovative, sweat pants and a fanny pack.

>>>Felina was spotted at TXR in sweatpants awhile back

You creepy, Phaldo.

For real...you know how to creep.

>>>I couldn't imagine going out of the house in them. <<<

so your full of shit then. as usual

Phaldo is hut that I told him his hall monitor schick was played out when he got on Timmy for something ridiculous.

Phaldo...you okay man?  I didn't mean anything by it, I was just sharing my opinion on your lecture bit.

You holding grudges on a dbmb?  Maybe it's time you reevaluated this whole sweatpants thing.

nothing to do with timmy, just pointing out that your full of shit. as usual. enjoy your sweatpants, where did you put your keys?

>>>>>>>nothing to do with timmy, just pointing out that your full of shit. as usual. enjoy your sweatpants, where did you put your keys?

You're

thank you timmy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz7cw6jbwFY

What's creepier?  You pretending to remember what I wore in a picture on the zone or you misremembering what I wore?

You live alone Phaldo?

And the keys question is valid.  Where would I have put them?  Key are way too heavy for sweatpants, so is a wallet?

Maybe I had a fanny pack too.

>>>nothing to do with timmy

Oh, so if I had not called you out on lecturing Timmy then you would have still done this lying bit with me here?

Yeah...sure Phaldo.  I believe you.

>>>What's creepier?  You pretending to remember what I wore in a picture on the zone or you misremembering what I wore?

don't feel like you're the only one disremembered here, i have been accused numerous times of being photographed in sweat pants, also claiming my shirt was stained, which it was not..

Drama in a sweatpants thread. Gotta love it.

Me and you are victims standing together Fog.

Truth be told, I think I confused you and Phaldo when he was lecturing Timmy.

I do that more than any zoner in history.

dude, you had on the sweatpants in the photo, just admit it and move on....nice melt btw

>it's 2017. They even have bottle openers attached to the drawstrings and shit.<

I've seen the shirt but first I've heard of the pants

A guy living alone somewhere is obsessing over a picture of me.

Your life must be peachy.

just pointing out what a complete liar you are. nothing more.

You seem upset, Phaldo.

Is everything ok?

But you're the one lying about holing a grudge on an internet board with someone you don't know.

Have fun with that. 

Phaldo, tell us why a grown man is doing what you're doing.

Maybe we could turn this thread around and accomplish something real here.

You gotta take a risk, I know, but wouldn't it be a victory of sorts for this place?

im lying about holing a grudge? dude, this is about sweatpants, and your insistence that you would never leave the house wearing them. I merely pointed out that you had on a pair in a photo from the first zoner gathering at TXR. I even mentioned it back when the photo was posted, something like...nice sweatpants....and you tossed a nice hissy then too. 

I'm good Mark, thanks for asking.

(((this is about sweatpants)))

Right?

>>>im lying about holing a grudge?

Yes, you are lying about holding a grudge.  And with a stranger on a message board no less. How come you can't admit you're playing this little thing because I called you out the other day?

What would be so painful about admitting something so obvious?

This could be a big step for someone like you.  As in the beginnings of turning some things around.

You can do it.  I believe in you.

>>>and your insistence that you would never leave the house wearing them.

And you are someone who wears them outside of the house.  Okay...I hit a nerve.  I'm not judging you.

And I didn't say I'd never wear them out of the house.  I gave the example of going to the store but said I'd have to have a coat in order to have something to put my keys and wallet into.  I think I've actually done that.

So that makes you feel better, no?

Sorry, I dont own any sweatpants. Lets talk about TXR. Were you on your way to the store that day? Perhaps out for a jog? 

>>>Sorry, I dont own any sweatpants.

You've said on the zone before you wear sweatpants. So now you're lying about that?  What's so wrong about sweatpants? A grown man lying about owning sweatpants to strangers?

I’m going to assume this is not a sign of deep seated trouble and chalk this up to an adult being a little more hurt by someone on a dbmb than he’d care to acknowledge.

That way, I won’t have to be too concerned about you. 

I do care, either way.

I've never said that dude, more lies. just admit you had sweatpants on in the photo from TXR and we can move on. Its not hard to tell the truth once in awhile. you might like it.

You absolutely said it.  You are pretending you saw some pic of me (I think?) and at the same time lying about holding a grudge AND the fact you said you wore sweatpants on the zone?

I actually didn't think you'd tell the group what was wrong with you.

That would have been a big step for any of us, much less a guy who finds himself in this tangled mess about comfort clothing. 

But maybe you'd consider telling yourself what led up to this today.  I want to believe you're having fun and not angry but it's hard not to assume the latter.

Just think about it

nice melt dude. you're so wound up its not even funny. just admit it. the truth will set you free

The old tactic of telling someone they are melting when they are not.

I love it when the older folk regurgitate what the younger folk do in here. 

I'm glad we were were able to add some robust dialogue to the sweatpants thread, Phaldo.

Think about what I said today.  It couldn't hurt, right?

are you ready to be free Felina? all those lies are weighing you down brother

Maybe you could model how to tell the truth by telling us you own sweatpants.

Whatta think?

Sorry to disappoint you, I never owned a pair. I wear shorts at the gym, always have. I'm sure Catch or Judit still has the photos from TXR. Do we really need them posted?

And you're good with lying about that while saying I'm lying regarding a pic that never existed?  Think about this:  you are lying to us about owning a pair of sweatpants.

Just tell me you're going to think about what I said today and I'll stop worrying.

Have you been in my closet? I'll post a picture of it when I get home. The TXR photo exists for sure. Let go of the shackles Felina. Free yourself.

I normally wouldn't open a thread about sweatpants, but with 101 posts curiousity got the best of me.  

People have warned me that curiousity can B dangerous.  Look at that poor cat.  

Truth B told I only skimmed this thread.  My bad here.  I have little patience 4 fashion discussions.

Which leads me 2 my next question.  

R we really having a Viva Zoner (friendly) disagreement about who wears sweatpants & if so why or why not?

Inquiring minds R curious. 

Haven't been in your closet but read on the zone when you said you owned them.

Listen, I'm okay with you going on about this picture even though I'd have to hold my wallet and keys in my hand the entire night.

I'm not okay with your emotional well-being maybe reaching dangerously low levels.

You don't have to admit you own sweatpants when said you did.  You don't have to admit lying about my wearing sweatpants to Terrapin.  All I'm asking is that you ask yourself the previously stated question at some point today.  If you'll consider it, I'll admit to you anything you want.  That's proof right there I care.

>>R we really having a Viva Zoner (friendly) disagreement about who wears sweatpants & if so why or why not?

It's complicated.

Phaldo is going through something is probably the simplest explanation. 

TXR should sell sweatpants.

POOR SWEATPANT Thread HA HA !

When did I say that poor felina? In the other half dozen sweatpants threads? You are loosing it man. The truth is the light. Embrace the light.

What about this Phaldo.

Will you swear on your loved ones that you don't own a pair of sweatpants?

I'll swear on my loved ones that I've never worn sweatpants to Terrapin if that would help.

Will that aide you in achieving some balance today?

Again...if you notice, I'm trying to help.

Let me know buddy.

Free yourself from this cage of lies. Only you have the key felina. Open the door of truth

I actually exited the house wearing them today.

Just to clear off the car and drop a N'flix @ the PO.

Still . . .

mmmmm. stinky up in here

It makes sense you wouldn't want to take me up on that offer, Phaldo.

Trust me on this though: I don't think any less of you for owning them. 

No one here does. 

Phaldo, post the pic or it doesn't count. 

Felina, same with the quote.

Okay...I'm gonna try to find it.

Everything comes up 'Not Found' for the zone.

Is there a way around that?

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.

If the doors of perception were cleansed, we would see things as they are: infinite.

And Phaldo would admit he owns sweatpants.

I'm not sure how cleansed my doors of perception are; but I can see clearly Phaldo owns sweatpants. 

Probably more than one pair.

Phaldo doesn't own sweat pants like

Donald doesn't own a robe

>> It's complicated.

OK, no need 4 further explination. 

>> NYC Dave can't find a better thread. 

IMHO there R (way) better threads.

I was curious why this particular has reached triple figures.

"Complicated" works for me.  No 4 further explination necissary.  

At least 4 me.  YMMV.   

aww cmon slacker, i post all over. including in this one.  It turned stinky when boys started getting agro over nothing.

wasamatta? are your yoga pants too tight? I bet they are chlorine resistant too. with pockets. and you wear them out. Maybe you should post a pic for a ruling from st. mark.

sooo stinky

OK, I haven't read more than 3-4 posts on this thread, but I just wanted to weigh in that I have one pair of gray Russell Athletic 50/50 polyester/cotton sweats, Made in Mexico.

Anyone who's seen me knows that I always prefer shorts when casual, so it may not surprise anyone that my sweats are at least 20 years old and still in pretty good shape (though the stretch bands at the ankles recently gave out.

I used to wear them on the way to soccer scrimmages, but now they mainly serve as an internal layer for cold weather camping.

That's about all I need.

OK, I haven't read more than 34 posts on this thread>

fixed that for ya

Phaldo and Felina, can you guys please check in over at the cool after 40 thread and chime in with opinions and tips please. Its getting a bit boring over there.

Did something happen to plf? Very Trumpian Twitter type posting coming from his account.

hey, is that you Chetto Head, what have you done with Rob?

Only Nike Dri Fit Tech sweat gear.  Probably out of most zoner's price range. 

Love the dry fit from Nike also like the compression stuff too

Any color but grey, a nice green or blue elevates the whole ensemble.

Wearing a pair now, blue. Plus I am wearing Birkenstock's with socks... I'll only go as far as the mailbox dressed like this.

I have to drive 10 min. to get the mail, and walk 10 rt just to get the newspaper. Usually requires real clothes and boots.

I still don't own any sweat apparel items.

Never have worn them. Just not my style

.

Just wore some to the beach. Ez access

For playin' pocket pool.

Just for the record, I went to a nice restaurant last night and put on big boy clothes. It was weird.

I'm wearing 'em now.  I could go for the paper (about 3-4 minutes each way) in them.  But I probably won't.

Well, I'm with Nycdave, I don't think I ever looked into this thread, but of course when I notice a thread has gone over 100 it must be looked at to see what carnage is taking place.

It's oddly fun to read through a thread like this wondering when it will veer off the road. This one started with a fair amount of innocuous conversation on the original topic, then some humorous slants off that, then bam - into some good ol' zone weird bickery, "Ah, there it is", then back into the original topic.

A good thread.

But as I arrived at the bottom a moment ago I'm left with one bit feeling not complete...

>>>I lost my fave pair of sweatpants at a JGB Warfield show in '93. True story<<<

That's not a story, that's a conclusion. I'm wondering just what the circumstances were of how someone could lose a pair of sweatpants at a concert? THAT sounds like it could be an interesting story. Or not, but it was a bit of a tease.

BTW, I'm wearing sweatpants as I write this.

Lance, I was the one who lost said sweatpants at the JGB Warfield show - so please allow me to elaborate.

We were down on the floor in the GA area, near the stage, but back a little bit so we had some breathing room, avoiding the crush right on the rail. I was wearing perfectly decent shorts underneath my sweatpants - it's the Bay Area, dress in layers. Well, the joint warmed up as the show progressed and I took off my sweatpants to get more comfortable. There happened to be a pile of clothing nearby that sort of organically developed as other patrons got warm and took off their coats and sweaters etc. So I tossed my sweats into that pile of clothing. Well, the show ends and I go back to that pile of clothes and my sweatpants are not there!!! Maybe I didn't "lose" them, maybe some asshole stole them? I don't know WTF happened, but my favorite motherfucking sweatpants were gone...for good. And nothing's gonna bring them back. That's the God's truth, I swear.

Lance, since you're in the business, do you know who I should contact regarding lost & found at the Warfield?

Spun wook outside Warfield:  Dood, check out this fucked-up hoodie I scored inside.

Ah, the old shorts under the sweats routine.

And a stinky hippy stole your sweats Roland. Dude's probably still wearing them.

You should have tied them around your waist.

That was just one of the many great things about Jerry shows at the Warfield. You could have sweatpants tied around your waist and it wouldn't look odd.

Scored these Sweats made by Fila in the discount bin - $7 - pretty Snazzy, been wearin' 'em since Monday, w/Champion Duofold long john's underneath as the 1st layer.
