Talk:Slim-fit pants

message: This article(the old one) was really excellent. Im sure it broke all sorts of protocol, but it really gave an excellent and concise explanation of what this is besides just a certain cut of pants. Don't you all think an article should tell something more then what one knows by reading the title? Sales strategies for global top 100 companies have been made over the silhouette of these pants versus the older more bulky jeans. I don't know enough about or i would fix the article myself. Guess I won't know more now. Are we supposed to read Wiki articles quickly now before someone fixes them? Im very disappointed. Please leave a little information in wiki before people simply stop using it. 
And please, put in one of the other pictures. That picture isn't even of skiny cut jeans.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.228.218 (talk) 05:16, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

message: That sounds fucking retarded. That's a term 60 year old women use to describe punks. Changing to "punks".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.46.21.12 (talk) 10:10, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

message: This article seems like it was written by a moronic 15 year old "scene kid." First of all, skinny jeans are simply straight leg pants. I used to wear the "classic fit" jeans from The Limited Too when I was a little kid. They were skinny jeans. Skinny jeans are pretty much two parallel lines. Now, tapered jeans, also known as cigarette pants, drainpipes, and whatnot, actually hug the leg all the way down to the ankle. This creates a "V" shape to the leg. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Spuddy 17 (talk • contribs) 02:33, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe you removed too much content in your edits. I don't necessarily agree with some of the content, but to have an article about a style, you have to describe the style in some way. Simply saying the style exists is not acceptable and could lead to the article getting tagged further than it was. --Mattarata 03:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, fair enough. I can agree that the style should be described. Someone think of something else to add to the article that is accurate. But just because an article needs a description doesn't mean that any ole description, accurate or not, should be applied to it. Spuddy 17 09:05, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well i took out the emo reference, but i put back the general description, it is not horrible, rather it needs cleanup. If you disagree with it, please make an attempt to edit, rather than simply removing the content. --Mattarata 14:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I disagree.  The jeans being marketed nowadays as "skinny jeans" are definitely not just straight leg jeans.  Skinny jeans do hug the leg all the way down.  Some confusion might be do to the picture shown on the article page.  I do not believe that it is a good representation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AliaGemma (talk • contribs) 06:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Come on.... 

message: In Britain, the term "Pants" commonly refers to undergarments, and I have never heard it being used to refer to trousers, in the UK. Shouldn't the article's name use a more widely accepted term, such as "Jeans"? Daisy-berkowitz 15:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think the title should be changed to "jeans," because the style is about more than just jeans.  I don't know about the trousers vs. pants debate... Trousers is understood but infrequently used in the U.S (and sounds stilted to my ears).  A google search has 64 million pants results and 12 million trousers results.

message: Asian tight-pants? Seriously? Who? Where?
A google search comes up with the wiki-article, a bunch of websites that reference the wiki-article and a facebook page supporting Asian tight-pants, oh and a bunch of porn. 211.31.33.187 (talk) 12:31, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I searched Google for "Asian tight pants", while restricting the maximum date to 2006, and it got only two results from Wikipedia. We should remove "Asian tight pants." Lumingz (talk) 18:27, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

message: The term "skinny jeans" is a recent invention. It is used mostly in retail referring to pants which are slimmer than the average. Manufacturers vary in their terminology. For instance, Levi's 511 "Skinny Jeans" for men aren't quite as skinny compared to many other brands. In men's apparel, the term "skinny" doesn't necessarily mean "tight." It could mean "slim-fit."
"Skinny jeans" is a term used by fashionistas, fashion bloggers, and fashion magazines. "Tight jeans" is a term which is used by many people who are not as interested in fashion. For example, a lot of American men (who are uninterested in fashion) call skinny jeans as "tight jeans." This could be verified by a Google search. In general, the term "skinny jeans" connotes a fashion trend, while the term "tight jeans" connotes more of the fit of the jeans, regardless to today's trends.

thread_title:  "Skinny Jeans" 

message: "In the Gaza strip, Palestinian youths caught wearing skinny jeans are arrested and beaten by the police, and forced to have their hair cut" - this sentence implies that this is a regular occurrence, through the use of the word "are". The article referenced only refers to several incidents. I suggest changing the sentence to "In the Gaza strip, Palestinian youths caught wearing skinny jeans have been arrested and beaten by the police, and forced to have their hair cut". If there are no comments within 24 hours, I will change it. Andrei.smolnikov (talk) 23:13, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
