Gawker
These new jeans may be a turning point in the evolution of pants. It goes like this: first, baggy jeans came into style. People bought big pants and let them sag. Then, baggy pants slowly went out of style, and tight pants came into fashion. But still—people missed their baggy pants. Fast forward to this moment in time: a company called Soulful Commandoe has introduced jeans that are both tight and baggy at once. This breakthrough was apparently achieved through the addition of several vertical inches of fabric in the waist area, as well as the inclusion of some gratuitous suspenders. Truly a development that will go down in fashion history. Click through for some larger pictures [The Gluttony via Satchel of Gravel] of this Pants Pants Revolution:

there are no words.
No fucking way is that for real. Is this from the Onion?
Trust the Gorton's fisherman.
Doopity Doo!
Oh those are... those are ...
I don't really know what to say.
I hope one day they come in different colors.
Truly, these are a sign of the Apocolypse.
Wearing this mess, with the right shoes, one could easily affect the look of a retarded Austrian farmer.
perfect if your fashion vision is "stumpy/urban"
I believe this is the PETA version of leather pants.
It's like sagging old man pants. Perfect for elephantiasis.
i've always wanted two butts and a long crotch...
Aren't all suspenders gratuitous, though? Unless you're Amish?
Double-butt is a terrible look. For everyone. Including hip-hop-hipsters.
Didn't America Ferrara wear those in the movie?
apocalypse. dang it. Too lazy to spell check. Mea culpa.
These pants come with your choice of either a limited edition Fall Out Boy box set or an autographed picture of Pete Wentz.
Second ass, take me away!
Those are as ugly on the outside as Ann Coulter is on the inside.
To quote M. Kors: "The crotch on those pants is INSANE."
HA, they're reverse pantaloons!
We all know your balls aren't THAT big.
@spleen:
I think you meant 2pacalypse.
@cockfightbarmitzvah: do they also double as baby carrier? that could be interesting
Stop!
Hammer Time!
So, we've come full circle to pantaloons?
Wait - I saw these on the Land's End overstock page.
C'mon now! M.C. Hammer rocked pants like these in 1990 . . .

This is hardly a "breakthrough development" in fashion history.
Breeches? Riding crops? Something an aging British hipster wears to the races or somesuch.
Time to dry clean the jodhpurs.
@snappyface: Instead of the sneakers, I think there needs to be some sort of Restoration footwear - with a buckle and a nice heel.
I assume that one can only waddle like Charlie Chaplin in those.
@valarmorghulis: Whoops! Great minds and all...
Is it safe now to use the adjective oompaloompa-looking?
@NinaHagen: Agreed! A ruffled shirt would also be appropriate.
@beantownbastard: Maybe, but similar pants were around back in 1984 and breakdancers loved 'em . . .

@glitter: Maybe like a pattern similar to the Zoomba pants?
He's like an old-timey indie movie director.
Oh, these are so fantastically bad I hope they are real. They look like a Home Economics sewing project gone horribly wrong.

I saw two young men wearing these. Because of the uncontrollable grin I had on my face, I think they thought I was checking them out.
I truly can't articulate the silliness of this garment in real-life. The missing part of the picture is that you can't really walk in these pants. You just kind of shuffle-walk, sort of like when you have to run to the phone while in the middle of going to the bathroom.
As you can tell, they made an impression.
I caved in and bought a pair of $15 tapered Levis a couple of years ago at TJ Maxx. They've paid for themselves many retarded hipster dance parties over. But I will never give up my boot-cut numbers. Why? Because I like my jeans to be flattering, not make my ass look even bigger, thanks.
@SuperBien: Yes! And powdered wigs for all!
@Clare: this is why i don't wear pants to hipster parties. no one seems to mind
@LeGagneur: That sounds like almost too much to wish for. I suppose if there is a God....
But you could steal meat at the food store and hid it in your pants! The tight legs prevent the meat from falling out! They're great for hiding hams!
@lionel-mandrake: That's it! They're denim versions of Burt's pants during the dance with the penguins in Mary Poppins.
I, for one, prefer to look like I have recently crapped my pants. So these are ideal.
@CaptainHangNail: Yes, these pants will make us look like we've been crapping our pants since before it was cool to crap one's pants!
Um, I coined the term "Pants Pants" some summers ago in central park. Was a rollerblader wearing patchwork pants that were clearly made from pants. ipso fatso.
Please deposit one nickel for every mention of Pants pants. thank you.
As an actual working pants designer, I'm going to go out there and say that the Japanese kids have been wearing this type of style, we've been calling it the "carrot," for a few years now. And they make it look damn good.
Leave it to us Americans to bastardize a trend beyond what is visually acceptable.
This pant pictured in the opener is an ABOMINATION and should be dealt with promptly via incineration.
The factory workers should be flogged (but not their hands they still need to sew) and forced into prohibition.
And the designer… (WTF... seriously?!!!)... well, let's just say a date with JFP is the least of the torture that should be implemented. I'm thinking excessive shock treatment delivered to the nether regions with those very suspenders would be most appropriate.
I mean, it looks like Ronald McDonald meets Ol'MacDonald at the TOOL factory to go run a drive by on St. Marks Place!
For shame, fashion industry, for shame.
@NinaHagen: Don't forget tri-corner hats, too!
If Fallout Boy, Ronald McDonald and a Canadian Mountie all had sex and somehow spawned a piece of clothing, this is what their offspring would look like.
...because a poop-chute is sexy.
@LeGagneur: @glitter: you know, zubaz are in the midst of a renaissance and stuff.
So the post-gastric bypass look is really taking off nowdays.
Those suspenders seem a bit unnecessary. Are they also high waisted? Where can I get a pair? I've always wanted to gain a spare tire around my crotch.
@CaptainHangNail: Likewise, but I save a great deal of money by simply crapping in pants I already own.
I'm glad they finally let the oompa loompas wear denim at work. I would imagine its very hard to keep white pants clean at the chocolate factory.
Now just wear them backwards ala Kris Kross and you're set!
It's clearly made for spider people with swollen egg sacs and skinny, fashionable legs.
"Does my ass look like it has four cheeks in these?"
@McCheeburger: Make those into a woman's blouse and I bet that person will be very rich.
These looks like a novice designer ran out of fabric.
Weren't these the pants that
