The Trouser Thread

Just needed to share this rather baggy trousers choice somewhere.

Contrast lines on the sides for speed I assume

Bit of Japanese trouser talk here

I donā€™t wear cardboard trousers but if I did Ben Davis would be my choice. Sure beats the hell out of Dickies and Carhartt.

Are they going to be putting people on or are they just going to leave it at this guy pissing about in a car park?

Salman Agah made Ben Davis look cool, but it looks terrible on just about everyone else.

Iā€™ve tried buying stuff from their site as I too love cardboard trousers but everything is always out of stock or insanely expensive.
Iā€™m guessing thereā€™s no UK distro

Iā€™ve been getting the shorts from here Ben Davis ā€“ Beasleys Clothing

I remember Alan Petersen, Karma and all that crew being heavy in the Ben Davis game too back then.

I had some black ones from slam bitd, 4 sizes too big so strictly relegated to school only use

Yeah they were. Gorilla cut trousers the worst fitting item of clothing I have ever owned.

To be fair, they werenā€™t meant to be ā€˜fittedā€™ or ā€˜tailoredā€™. Theyā€™re ye olde work trousers arenā€™t they, just big rectangles of extremely hardwearing denim held together with rivets.
You made them look good by pairing them with an extremely expensive XLarge crew sweat, a Stussy Africa leather pendant and a visor, cocked to the side, and some Shelltoes or Vans Lampin.

Mine werenā€™t denim they were cardboard*

They almost stand up on their own when new.

Year or 2 later they are perfect.

Yeah, absolutely. Around three decades and some ago, when I had a brief stint of wearing the cardboard trews, SF thrift store buys were the way to go - much cheapness and some other poor sucker had already chafed themselves stupid breaking them in.
