For those of you with a few extra pounds, their athleisure pants come with plenty of lebensraum.

They advertise atheleisure as perfect for carrying a weapon.

Makes it easy to spot them and avoid them like the plague they are.

I think I get it: red (well, maroon), white and navy with stars. Where are the stripes?
I have flag socks and a hat, I wear them to watch the Fourth of July parade and to anti-Trump rallies.
dr. bloor
@drunkenhausfrau: “What are you wearing right now?” during a Tinder follow-up convo takes on a whole new meaning.

Mr. Cole, I think your headline needs adjusting – should read as Fascist Grifting.
And thank goodness there’s now an overpriced option for stretch pants that I can unsafely and insanely stash a weapon in.

I’m not a dedicated follower of fashion so I could be missing something here. But just what distinguishes this stuff from Tommy Hilfiger or Ralph Lauren or Abercrombie & Fitch or any of them other brands?
dr. bloor
@Amir Khalid: They probably paid factory workers in Asia even less than Hilfiger, et al. Also, those other brands are built to survive more than two trips to the washing machine.

Oh FFS. I think I had some Wonder Woman pajamas with stars on them when I was in first grade.

@Raven: The Scarlet Pimpernel? Or am I making that connection up?
Ceci n est pas mon nym
@Amir Khalid: White stars on a blue background, vaguely suggestive of the American flag and hence it’s your patriotic duty to Der Orangführer to buy them rather than those other heathen designs.
Spanky
Doesn’t look like enough room to stash an alligator in those things. Sad!

And what ain’t stars on a blue background is red & blue “camo”? Classy!

From the headline I thought you were talking about Ivanka getting another six trademarks from China the same time her daddy was ordering US companies to stop doing business with China. You couldn’t make this shit up.

Wonder when they start showing up at T.J. Maxx. I bet shoppers there would be all, “WTF? Why do these yoga pants have this weird pocket?”

Bowdlerized it for you per the David Niven film version.

@Amir Khalid: because MOAR FREEDOM! Amir. It’s intended to differentiate from those who just, you know, have some gym clothes.

@Frankensteinbeck: With modern facial recognition software and social media, it sure seems like it would be easy to find out who the models are. I wonder if they’re supporters of this kind of product or just there to do a job.

@realbtl: Amir knows his music! He did even before the for the girl and her gang (I haven’t been around enough to keep up with the count).
@Amir Khalid: I saw an old guitar player pal in (a band and its progeny I saw a lot in college/grad school and we’ve stayed in touch)at a house concert last week. He played much more on acoustic than his strat. For a surprise >55 birthday gift I’m getting him a cool capo.

@oatler.:
Ah, thanks! Never saw the Niven version. Cut my teeth on Leslie Howard/Merle Oberon, and I remember seeing a surprisingly enjoyable (TV miniseries, I think) remake with Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour.
But to tell the truth, any of those might have employed the Bowdlerised language, and my own mind substituted the obvious rhyme! Would need to watch them again to be certain.

Here’s a real bargain for those running low on T-shirts….

Wait until the first injury/death takes place due to gun nuts finding out that cheap spandex can’t properly holster weapons.
Tami may not realize it, but she just bankrupted herself with this little scheme.

OT: Dump has “second thoughts” on escalating trade war with “Jyna”.
“Thoughts” is doing a lot of work here.

@SiubhanDuinne: There was a 1999 TV version starring Richard E. Grant and Elizabeth McGovern as Sir Percy and Lady Blakeney that was just OK except for the guy who played Chauvelin, oh, my word, he was dead sexy. Martin Shaw. I think that was the beginning of my idea to sketch out a sort of reverse-Pimpernel, where the revolutionaries were actually the heroes. Still in process. ; )

@sdhays: His staff rushed to “clarify” that his second thoughts were about going so EASY on China.
They don’t even try to pretend they’re not wearing clownshoes anymore. They’re just owning the humiliation like bosses.

His clothes are loud, but never square
It will make or break him so he’s got to buy the best
