Red trousers

They go well with my brown handmade suede loafers and yellow socks.

Living as I do, a stone's throw from Winchester, the spiritual home of the red trouser, I see a lot of men sporting the look. They are ALL wankers.

Please tell me you don't team them with deck shoes, a Gant shirt, and a jumper draped over your shoulders?

**** no! Teamed with black t-shirt and converse on a warm day. I gotcha now though, I can picture the gent you are talking about, they also seem to like a MUSTARD pair of slacks at times too.

Ok to go back to your original question about hatred of red trousers. I don't think people hate them as shown here, there is a general indifference to them and we'd much rather talk about magpies. With your obsession with red are you the Queen of Hearts in disguise?

Not the Queen of Hearts, just an Old Queen!

Only on NSC.

Seriously guys, I've a new plan for you. When you encounter any of these magpies, trees, emergency vehicles etc try this .... carry on as if nothing significant has happened, because it hasn't. Use the same toilet or any other, it makes not a jot of difference to your mood.

**** me, you'll be talking about lucky pants next!

Back on topic. I have a pair of red jeans which I really like. Last time I went out in town in them I got a bit of attention..............from men

This explains a lot

In 1950s London, when homosexuality was illegal, young homosexual men first used trousers made of red corduroy as a means of identifying one another at a distance, and of indicating that they were available for sexual liaisons with other men.
The trend is thought to have started out among recently-demobilised gay ex-army officers, but soon spread through polari subculture to encompass gay men in general.
The logic behind it was that red corduroy trousers are so hideous that only men who understood their true meaning would ever wear them, so there was no room for misunderstanding.

I associate red trousers with eccentric, usually quite posh, old men, the sort you'd probably find snoozing in the Members Pavilion at Lord's while play continues in the Test match.

Like Henry Blofeld, my dear old thing.

Here is the complete story. The New York Yacht Club started it all. Although strange but true, they are the dress code of the Cruising Sailor in this country. As opposed to us big butch racing types. We are more sandy Chino's.

Exactly the ones Wilko is alluding to then.

I was sat in the West Lower on sat sporting some red chinos (im not kidding, although after the abuse on here i wish i was). I see them as the connoisseur's choice

I don't think Blowers is a confirmed bachelor though.

publicschoolboy was a much more entertaining account than this, you're just trying too hard now.

Red is dead.

A bloke in the office turned up to work wearing red trousers- he received some abuse that day and for the next few weeks....totally deserved too.

Em, I noticed. So that was you strutting your funky stuff was it? Would you like to go for a drink after the next home game honey?

How spooky. I've got a pair of red cords and a pair of red briefs. Anyone care to see them?

Judging by that, I doubt your Selwyn has to bite the pillow very hard.
