Painters Pants? Love them or hate them?  

I think you are actually referring to Cargo pants Grandpa Bob. Or they are also different? I love cargo pants and shorts and I have them but I'm just using them for fashion rather than function since they really are fashionable nowdays. I like wearing cargo shorts when I go out with my children since I put put a lot of things in it's pockets too. As to cargo parts, we even get to wear them in the office and look fashionable too. Happy postings!

Years ago in newfie land those pants were a big thing, teenagers, men, women, kids all were wearing them, up here we call them "carpenters pants", and that little loop I think was used for holding a hammer, I still see folks wearing them but its mostly carpenters, electricians etc...its like the working mans pants...think tho that you need to buy cargo pants, they have pockets on the side of the legs, some folks put their cell phones in there...

I actually like them, my boyfriend has a pair and I always like all the pockets that can hold everything he walks around the house and does not look like he has a pocketful of stuff ...

I am not found of the painters pants because of the loop but Cherokee brand makes a pair of uniform pants for nurses that has the pocket on the theigh just above the knee that I love. When I was nursing I would put my stethiscope in that pocket instead of keeping it around my neck or putting it down and losing it. I used to also wear a fanny pack for my alcohol wipes, sissors, tape and anything else I would need in a patients room. I did not think I would like fanny packs because I am obese and having something sticking out from me that was not me, made this wade load even wider. LOL. Bbut guess what I loved it. I wore out two fanny packs.

I don't know how in style they are because I don't really keep up with men's fashion :) I do know that they are also one of my husband's favorite kinds of jeans. I think he likes the fit too because I have never seen him use the loops for anything. I wouldn't worry how in style you are anyway. I just wear clothes that make me feel good about myself and at home I wear what is comfortable. Sometimes when people wear high fashion they just end up looking silly don't you think?

Nope i havent got that style of jeans.maybe you have to shopped a new ones, since its ages you havent buy..and found out if there are some styles you like in the market.

Oh man. I had a red pair back in high school. I loved them! They were the great pair of pants I ever owned. I had forgotten all about them. Now I really do need to lose all this extra weight so I can find another pair!

As a girl I do not wear these I do not like the way they look on me but my husband wears them a lot. He like the zip on leg type so he can wear them as shorts also.

I love them myself...as a photographer I find them handy and practical...I can shove some of my filters for the lens of my camera in this pocket...a roll of film in that pocket...etc etc etc....they might not be making a great fashion statement, but frankly I don't care...they are just real handy to wear being a photographer.

I am not familar with the term Painters Jeans. However, they make simila teenage boys jeans here. They have big side pockets. The kids they are cool.
