Have you all noticed all the new stretch pants don't look nice after an hour wearing them???Well i bought a pair of black and grey ones 65% polyester 25% stretch %5 can't remember lol

Anyways i put seams from top to bottom and they look and feel better .Maybe someone else will like my tip.Hugs Carolyn

Carolyn, they look good now. I like stitching down the front aways looks as though the crease is permanent. I like to be my shorts like this, the new fashion does not always have it. Well done. Sandra.

I am dating myself...I remember back in the '60's and early '70's...the polyester pants all came with a sewn seam down the front made to look like it had been "pressed"...you are bringing back memories...

I remember that also! I'm also remember those stirrup pants that had that piece than under the arch. I think they were for boots.

You don't and aren't dating yourself. I've still got some of these and purchased a new pair from a catalog a friend had awhile back. I'm not built for the new fangle fashions. lol

I don't know about being built for boots, but I do know they weren't built for gals with long legs. I always felt like my pants were down around my thighs.

I love pants that have that stitching on them. It was a great solution to a problem that I often encounter too.

Carolyn, do I understand that this makes the knees stand up when you do instead of you looking like you are sitting while standing? If, so, brilliant.

Deja Vu, I saw your post and felt like I was back in the mall. This design must be coming back because in the mall today I saw many pairs of pants with the seam sewn down the front. It was mostly on dress pants but some of the skinny pants also had the seam down the back of the pants which I didn't understand. All said, you are making the new style of the day. :)
