How about some pleated jeans?

Pleated jeans? I just lost my appetite.

That rules. LOL

I small digression, but I have always wondered. If those pants in the picture are pleated, what to you call pants that are pleated(?) all the way down to the end of the leg? In Norwegian we call it "pressed". I'm asking, because whenever people are talking about pleated pants here on the forum, I'm always confused about what they actually mean. The variation with pleats just near the waist is quite uncommon here, but most dress pants are actually "pressed" (i.e. they have a pleat running down the leg, both in the front and the back).

And back to the topic, I actually did own a pair of "pressed" jeans (i.e. no pleats near the waist) back in the late 90s. It was a part of the whole "trance"/"eurodance"/"rave" style we had back then.

So there an actual folded-over and pressed piece of fabric running all the way down the leg, front and back? Are you sure this isn't a crease?

No, I mean like in this picture:

The two "creases" (or whatever they are called) that run from the waist all the way down to the hem. That's what I'm talking about. Some pants have the "creases" only from the waist down to the start of the leg, then they end there. Basically, it's what happens if you iron a pair of pants after folding them not along the seams (i.e. you fold them in the middle of the leg, not the sides). How do I know which of the two people are referring to when they say "pleated pants"? Take the picture on the original post, they are pleated(?) but not "pressed" (i.e. the creases don't run all the way down).
