It seems that rockers aren't as fitted in the seat and thighs as they are in the calf and hem. But I still think they look good on you.

It just seems a little top heavy non-proportionate to me. I might just be saying that because I don't have an ass/thighs. In any event, I have some rockers coming soon for the SuFu Skrawny 13 project, so I can see for myself.

And Sauce, on the verge of 3,000! I salute you.

Well, Stylez obviously has skinnier legs than I do. My 1980s fit tighter on my thighs and butt, while having enough slack in the waist to ride on my hips with room to give.

I do think that Rockers look better with a bit of slack in the butt and thighs, as shown - sort of like the the archetypal Dior look. It is more visually interesting than jeans that are skinny all the way down.

Sad to say I won't. I haven't raced in about a year since I've moved to NY. The tattoo was after I raced New Zealand.

Like with evil, I expected them to be a bit more fitted. I tried on the 1980s and wasn't impressed so I almost pulled the trigger on the rockers thinking they'd be what I had expected. Maybe I'd grow to love the antifit...
