Oh! the yellow troosers!

Speak for yourself Foxyferret they aint like any old curtains this granny has ever had !

Oh my life! I don't think I'll be getting any!

Yes, see what you mean. Quite a lot of trousers have those 'false pockets' but usually no lining at all.

That's what I thought, so why put in half a lining which showed through to look like a pocket? (They are quite tight!) I've cut them out!

Why would you want pockets in snug fitting, smart trousers? 'Stuff' in them would bulge and ruin the line!

Nope, I don't think any of the above would do anything for me except cause people to cross the road to avoid me. I fear they wouldn't really be baggy enough to look right on me. The only attraction is the proper pockets.

I recently bought some snug fitting 'smart' trousers with what I thought were pocketses tacked up, but there was only one layer of liner - why?

Although I do like pocketses, precious.

Haha bags well, it would give the neighbours a laugh if I ever sallied forth wearing that.The young,slim attractive model still looks odd in it, so what chance the rest of us?

If you click on the blue writing in the very first post of the thread, gramma, the picture will come up. Enjoy!

Sorry, I'm being really slow here...what yellow troosers is everyone discussing?

Love them - especially the thought that I could eat more without my trousers feeling tight around the middle!

I also remember trews. They were slim fitting and had stirups to keep them in place.

This is a fantastic thread, has me intrigued, interested and in stitches (laughter ones), so glad I found Gransnet. Thanks everyone

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

Looks like no elastine. Got to have give in my clothes

Tee hee ??

Oh ha ha ha !

No jpf probably a heavy cotton

This one I'm very tempted by. Would be extra warmth around the top.

Are they in China?

foxyferret, I made myself several pairs of trousers from old curtains (my own (made the curtains too) and my aunt's though, not my gran's) over the years. They were fabulous. Massive pockets.

Lovely, I could keep my gloves, tissues and phone down the front.

You have to be very young, slim and carefree to wear these. Because I am tall I have horrible feeling that they would not have enough length in the straps, therefore cutting my crotch in half. OOWWWCH.

Granny's old curtains

Good grief they are awful. Looks like they are made of granny sold curtains
