Thanks, Reilly, I hadn't even thought about getting some wool pants tailored that way - must be old age and dementia.

Carharts. Or Mountain Khakis. Ignore the boys, they of course like tights. (DUH)

I want some of what Gnome has been smoking, or eating, or whatever.
When colorful tights were the thing I used to go into the Danskin store on Hollywood Blvd and buy 4-6 pairs of bright red tights at a time. My take on the whole lycra scene is this: By wearing such flashy (some would say outlandish) tights, you paint yourself into a corner where you have to climb well. Wear the lycra and climb well? Coolness. Wear the lycra and flail? Wanker.
Now I'm into the black semi tight running pants or longer cut shorts, so I think our OP made a good choice.

Nick Danger, what kinda size are you looking for?
I've recently unearthed a pair of German-issue wool knickers, buttonfly/oldschool, that I got god-only-knows when for god-only-knows what reason.
Would be willing to send them your way in return for a small donation to your local SAR, avi forecast center, or fire dept.
Probably waist of 32"? and inseam appropriate for a short-ish stature.
Let me know.
As to OP, I (as usual) suspect Russ W. with too much time on his hands.

thats specious at best. I was just making a joke on the pants thread. I don't have any jokes about camp 4 and I have been to enough meetings about "fixing" yosemite, that I have grown tired. I would love to see camp 4 at least get a better restroom, and showers would be great. I have filled out questionnaires in the past. So what is there to say?
And this and your post will make the difference seem even great. LOL.. too funny.
Come on Warbler. You are smarter then this. If you want to get people talking about fixing camp 4, then encourage them. Don't try these backwards smears. They are beneath you.

Hmmm....more posts on a garmet question then most hard core TR’s get. There sre some things that can be read into that.
Wool knickers...insulate against cold or heat, very abrasion resistant and definetly make a fashion statement.

Yes, never underestimate the FISH's trolling ability!
Just look at the thread title. Masterful indeed.

Nope. I'm telling you that in the UK "knickers" are womens underwear.
I got to go with Kevin on this one. You know you want to see some of these guys in women's underwear. hahaha..

I knew I had arrived when a picture of me climbing made the women's underwear page on the Patty catalog. Never topped that one, never need to...

Interesting to note that the crew here apparently has more interest in the subtleties of women's climbing pants than the Proposals to remodel Camp Four.
It's a progressive site, Kevin. Camp 4 is the past. Women climbing is the present.

I can't agree with you 100% on the knickers, Tami.
MFM floating his boat up Moby Dick in his sister's knickers.
As yet I was still a mannish boy at the time.
But I felt quite stylish in comparison to my companions,
dirtbags all, when Galen pulled out his camera.
I have run into the story of the two older ladies twice now, hooblie.
No price tag on that one.

Boys in girls knickers is ( IMO ) gross.
If that's so wrong, I don't want to be right.

and the best is the missed point that the playfulness, of the full statement falls to me to quote, as i to at once thought that Reilly meant
don't go getting your knickers all in a twist when he saidWhat's next, a thread about knickers?
EDIT:
Nick Danger ! I don't know the climber.
The Picture of "My Partner" is a shot taken from the linked Trip Report, By Brassnuts.

Perswig, I really appreciate you offer of the wool knickers, I really do, but I haven't had a 32 inch waist since I was a young Marine right out of boot camp. That being said, I think that I shall take you up on the offer to make a donation to our local SAR or some other volunteer emergency response organization, just because I like your idea. Have been regularly supporting Wounded Warrior ever since Tami suggested it a while back. Good suggestions from both of you.
cheers

WTF, people!
Boy, girl, woman or man: Levi's 501!
If you gotta stick your knee in it, you're golden ... sweet for high-stepping & look great with any kind of footwear, ready for scuff and cuff, plus, you can see your feet real neat.
 user experience may vary on that high-step claim ...
