You are bidding on a mistake.

We all make mistakes. We date the wrong people for too long. We chew gum with our mouths open. We say inappropriate things in front of grandma.

And we buy leather pants.

I can explain these pants and why they are in my possession. I bought them many, many years ago under the spell of a woman whom I believed to have taste. She suggested I try them on. I did. She said they looked good. I wanted to have a relationship of sorts with her. I’m stupid and prone to impulsive decisions. I bought the pants.

The relationship, probably for better, never materialized. The girl, whose name I can’t even recall, is a distant memory. I think she was short.

Ultimately the pants were placed in the closet where they have remained, unworn, for nearly a decade. I would like to emphasize that: Aside from trying these pants on, they have never, ever been worn. In public or private.

I have not worn these leather pants for the following reasons:

I am not a member of Queen.
I do not like motorcycles.
I am not Rod Stewart.
I am not French.
I do not cruise for transvestites in an expensive sports car.

These were not cheap leather pants. They are Donna Karan leather pants. They’re for men. Brave men, I would think. Perhaps tattooed, pierced men. In fact, I’ll go so far as to say you either have to be very tough, very gay, or very famous to wear these pants and get away with it.

Again, they’re men’s pants, but they’d probably look great on the right lady. Ladies can get away with leather pants much more often than men can. It’s a sad fact that men who own leather pants will have to come to terms with.

They are size 34x34. I am no longer size 34x34, so even were I to suddenly decide I was a famous gay biker I would not be able to wear these pants. These pants are destined for someone else. For reasons unknown - perhaps to keep my options open, in case I wanted to become a pirate - I have shuffled these unworn pants from house to house, closet to closet. Alas, it is now time to part ways so that I may use the extra room for any rhinestone-studded jeans I may purchase in the future.

These pants are in excellent condition. They were never taken on pirate expeditions. They weren’t worn onstage. They didn’t straddle a Harley, or a guy named Harley. They just hung there, sad and ignored, for a few presidencies.

Someone, somewhere, will look great in these pants. I’m hoping that someone is you, or that you can be suckered into buying them by a girl you’re trying to bed.

Please buy these leather pants.

The answers to the questions are pretty good as well. Along the same lines, in 2003 I got rid of a Brooks and Dunn shirt that was purple and black with flames on one side of it. I used to wear it when I went dancing with a girlfriend at C&W bars. Suffice it to say that Jin thought it was less than attractive. Maybe if I had worn it with a pair of leather pants she might have liked it better....

That's pretty funny :) .

I once owned a pair of mauve corduroy pants (don't ask). There wasn't even a woman involved. My only claim to sanity is that I also never wore them in public.

Apparently the guy has written his experience up for a newspaper: http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_britain/article320432.ece

I was once given a royal purple suede miniskirt by a man I was engaged to (not Iagoe, he's much more practical than that). It might not have been so bad if:

a. it was in my size
b. I wore miniskirts; and
c. it hadn't belonged to said fiance's ex-wife.

Took three bottles of charcoal lighter fluid to reduce that sucker to ash.

LOL! That's pretty awful!

I tend to be rather practical about under garmets. I go for durability, comfort and such. Well, one boyfriend decided to take it upon himself to improve my lingerie selection, so he signed me up to receive a new set of under things every month. Unfortunately the subscription out lasted our relationship... But every month I got a reminder.

No, they're still in my closest. I don't want the horror of more guys in Leather.
