"Bonzo - I simply meant that they don't place well today. I am in agreement with the leggings thing. I wore them in the 1980s when I still had a decent ass and legs. If I wear them today, they are only as a thermal layer beneath the jeans to keep the cold away from my arthritic hips and knees."

My sympathies for your arthritics, my wife has big problems with her knees, which added to all her other medical problems cannot be fun.
