Ok, this isn't a review of an actual piece of riding gear, but I've always been amused by regular fashion styles that are meant to mimic motorcycle gear, or the motorcycle culture. I can definitely see the allure, as we, as riders, are supposed to be so much cooler than the general population.

So, I had to laugh when I unwrapped the pants shown here on my birthday this past Sunday. I usually wear very loose, and admittedly shlubby looking sweats around the house, and don't bother changing into anything nicer if I have to jump in the car to run a quick errand. My wife decided that I needed much more stylish lounging pants.

They are much more tightly fitted to the legs, feature some sewn-on panels that look like reinforcements, and have a rather sleek zipper pouch on one side.

My wife explained that these are called "Moto-Joggers", and are apparently quite fashionable for household loungewear. And, to her, much less embarrasing to wear outside the home than my baggy sweats. I will appease her by wearing them.

She also got me the cool Lebowski shirt, which, coincidentally, goes along with my recent avatar.
Gin60 - I think they look okay from over here.
Well, if you ask me those pants really tied the overall look together that you have going on.
I see what you did there, Frulk...
It's a pretty safe bet that most of the people you see wearing moto jackets don't really ride.
Especially when those jackets are made of "pleather".
