No, I wear blue jeans all the time, even back then. Thanks for bringing them back, crazyjoe.

Never seen them before but from the link they look like they were popular in the 80's?

^^^^ yes they were popular in the 80s and popular in Europe too. They were made out of nylon and thin, just like a parachutes fabric, hence the name. They were also baggy and loose fitting flowing similar to a parachute. They usually had elastic waistbands and elastic at the bottle around the ankles.

I wore them when I was in grade school.
