FUNNY article and actually informative! Who'd a thunk it!?

Hilarious! You know, that takes me back to my days of karate and all the characters that came along woth it.
I love the idea of self defense and such, but when I was taking karate, we would all go out to a familiar dance club nearby afterwards.
There would ineveitably be a few karate students from another dojo there actually incorporating karate moves on the dance floor! Too ridiculous!
Now it makes me wonder if they were wearing "karate jeans".. Ha ha!

During several decades I worked as a carpenter, the fit of jeans in the crotch was among one of the most important considerations. During my heyday, I could easily rip open the inseam of jeans that had been through the wash more than a few times by taking a high step and flexing some combination of muscles in my strong bicyclists legs. While fitting jeans at a store, I often did splits to be sure they fit loosely enough to assure a full range of motion when climbing on new structures. I had considered the gusset fix, but just didn't want to spend that much time sewing and never found a shop to do if for me.

The real problem here is that white collar people design clothes for blue collar people. Sometimes it takes a long time for the tidy-whitey set to climb down from their posh bar stools to find out what the people who actually build their mansions wear to work, even when the designers make a handsome living helping other non-workers pretend to be working people.

During my Karate days I remember when those actually came out. A couple of guys from my school bought them and swore by them. They actually didn't look that bad. They were kind of stylish at that time.

Years ago when I was a college student, I studied Tae Kwon Do. As soon as the kicking jeans came out I purchased several pairs and absolutely loved them! They were very comfortable and looked just fine matched with a sweatshirt and a pair of sneakers. The jeans were made from cotton and a touch of spandex, and they immediately became a staple item in my college wardrobe. If you wear a pair for a day you will understand why people rave about them!

wow this is funny and just gives credence to everything old is new again i had these karate jeans in the 80s there great best jeans i ever had never riped em cuz instead of a regular crotch there is a diamond shape of material sewn where the crotch normally is i was especially tuff on cloths and i could never rip em

I remember action jeans! They used to advertise in magazines like "Inside Kung Fu" (maybe they still do, I stopped reading that when I was about 13). I never actually bought a pair, but I do remember that the "rationale" for buying them actually made sense to me at the time. The idea was that regular jeans were too restrictive to permit you to kick as freely as you could inside the dojo. So if you actually got into a fight in real life, you might not be able to use "all of your skills", because those darn Levis you were wearing were just too tight. It seems utterly silly now, but at 12 or 13 years old it made perfect sense.

So, who's gonna tell Chuck he looks funny in those jeans?

Actually I think these would be great and extremely comfortable riding a motorcycle. The normal jeans many times fit too tight and it feels like the seam is cutting your scrotum in half.

For comforts sake,(and real life), I'd suggest we all own at least two pair.
By the way Ill take two Chuck Norris's any day. !!!!????

I bought another type of jeans for riding. the are called diamond cut jeans . the were great and are very comfortable down there, plenty of room for the boys.

AHAHAHAHAH! Priceless.

i see no reason to corn-husk butter-brew the marketing and especially the article. the pants are designed to climb two story ladders with ease. full-grown men are expected to take interest. glowering children of fake tatoos just get back with the women and children so we can catch up again.
