Hey all. Parachute Pants. Did you wear 'em in the 80s? Honestly, I didn't! But I'm gonna buy a pair. Bugle Boy! I used to wear their jeans all the time. But ya know - I never had some girl stop me and ask if they were Bugle Boy jeans.. Hmm.. I'll try again with these parachute pants, though. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> If you're interested in Parachute Pants, click the banner on top of our pages! The more that people start wearing these things will show the 80s are really coming back!

Hmm...they weren´t that style here in the 80s. If you can basically compare them to cargo pants (w/o showing your underwear <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> ), then they´re quite hip now.

Speaking of 80´s clothing...I don´t know if it was in the 80s or early 90s, but I have seen some people running around in German army tank tops ("Bundeswehr" and the eagle). It struck me very funny back when I was serving duty...if you have the free choice, okay, but if you are supposed to wear that stuff...you know what I mean? <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Nonetheless, it would be good if some of this style would return...I especially loved the jackets.

parachute pants..

they bring back innocent, happy memories of a carefree life. lol

i didn't wear them, but it's great they're back in style.

oh, if someone asks you if they're Bugle boy jeans, you can say,
"Why, are you going to blow the bugle?"

(*giggle*)



(stand up comic; i can't take the credit)

I had a black pair and a red pair in the 80's. I wore them along with this thin, wrap around, spiked belt.

LOL@ Parachute Pants! I didn't have any of those in the 80s, and I always thought they were hilarious, the way they swished together when people walked.

Of course, I have a pair of jogging pants now that are kind of like parachute pants... not that I ever jog, I mostly wear them to run errands on Sunday mornings... but they are really noisy <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

LOL......I just bought my son a pair for school....he says...."These pants are tight (as in cool)"...He wants a spiked belt too! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

"tight" ?
so that's the new slang word these days..
(oh, do i feel old now. i remember when the word 'tight' meant uptight with everything, especially money. or frigid..lol)
now it means 'cool'.

totally awesome

yeah......"tight" lol.....even my 7 year old is saying it....except hers makes me laugh everytime......she says......"Oh, mommy! That Barbie convertible is sooo tight"...lol

My kids say "tight" too, Myst! LOL

I wore the pants! Yes, I did. I had several pairs of parchute pants. Mostly in black, one pair even had a "silky" feel to them. (No kidding!) Never had the spiked belt, but i did have a spiked wrist-band. Also, we tied bandanas around our legs (just below the knee). Anyone else remember that fad?

I'll admit it! I wore a pair when I was 16 and looked darn good in them. At least that is what I kept telling myself. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> Just don't think I could pull off wearing a pair anymore though. <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> Now I would just look like an old geezer trying to be cool.

I never had a pair.<img src="frown.gif" border="0"> My parents didn't have a lot of money to spare on fads so you got what they bought. Mostly jeans and if you were lucky they wern't Rustler brand jeads! LOL.

I have to admitt i wore them. I did some break dancing back then and they made it easier to dance in, and they were nice and slick so it made it easier to do the pinwheel.. boy i was a geek back then.
haha

the pinwheel?

i'm so not versed in breakdance words.
lol

that would have been cool to see you dance like that, Milani.
she's good at it.
remember when we'd imitate those girls on Mad tv? "We're going to see Ricky Mar-tin!" haha. they wore those, didn't they?

Heh! I was known to do a little breakdancing also. Hmmm. Maybe we shoud get together and see if we can still do the "Wave". <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Shakey sounds good to me.. i will wave with you any time!!
You wore parachute pants didn't it make it easier to break dance in? I thought so. I would wear them now, but i would look funny breakdancing around here.... <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

"We are going to see Ricky-Martin"

To funny Viliji for some odd reason i see us acting like that.. haha
And yes they had those pants on.. haha I can't wait until that show comes back on air.

I've never been stylish. Just give me a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt and I'm happy.
