For the older gentleman - hipsters.

When I went back to work 6 weeks later I wore jogging bottoms for the next two months.

For comfort, I wear jogging bottoms when at home.

Fair play, I hate them though... and I have never jogged.

At the back of my mind, I think, irrationally, I associated them with space to fit bags to collect body waste products.

Nor have I, willingly But as said, they are much more comfortable, for around the house. I certainly would never go out in public, in joggers.

Track suit bottoms, mostly worn in conjunction with training shoes by ne'er do wells, look like they may solve the problem. Excellent for concealing ankle monitors, so I've heard.

Funny you should say that. At Prague airport the on Thurs night, our flight was at the gate next to the Liverpool flight. Never seen so many old blokes in tracky bottoms and trainers who look like training is the last thing in the world they would actually do. Harry Enfield's Scousers sketch is just as relevant today.

Surely they must have been wearing shell suits?

One or two did. But some were just happy with striped tracksuit/shell suit trousers. Perhaps they felt this was smarter for the journey home.

I wear either Levi's or Tommy Hillfiger s t r e t c h denim. Fits me like a glove.

Do they squeeze your caggagogoos?

Ouch!

I used to know an older gentleman who referred to tight trousers as being a bit 'Cumberland Hotel'. I eventually found out that the Cumberland Hotel was quite a grand place a stones throw from Marble Arch, but despite being a rather grand hotel, it was listed in the AA guide, under amenities, as having 'no ballroom'.

Go get a life, you obviously lack one!

I always wear a belt, but the belt gets pushed down to my hips. I hate wearing them, but braces, overcome that problem.

Don't let 'em get to you 'arry...

...crack on, mate.

Levi's 501 of the correct size fit most people nicely and stay up.
In later years I had to abandon size 34 and go up to 36.
A shame considering I have a few vintage jeans now worth a few bobs.
Still hanging in the wardrobe but eventually, very soon, will donate them to my kids as I don't expect to drop size in the near future...
Tracksuit is my favourite home attire.
Adidas do nice vintage stuff for reasonable price.
