Mandatory five-sizes-too-large pants? I'm confused.

Excluding certain teenagers, walking fashion disasters, why would anyone wear pants any size too large?

Thats what the reference was to, many skater types "sag" their pants which means that they were there pants in a way that shows their boxers, and to do this they were large pants.

I hadn't thought of that Blast. Kids do it to summer camp all the time but they're more bendy and heal quicker - not like us old folks!

Due to poor wording, I misunderstood the original comment.

Last time I skated, I clamped the skates onto my Keds with the skate key that was worn around the neck on a piece of kite string (and the toe clamp always came off at the worst possible moment). I would kill myself for sure!!!

The use and placement of the word "their" in your post came across as a reference to the members of this forum.

OBG- I still have my skate key that my parents saved for me! I showed it to my teenagers and they cannot comprehend how the skates clamped to our shoes. Metal wheels didn't roll very well on 1970 backroads pavement. I have the scars to prove it!
