Pants!
« on: March 26, 2009, 05:41:57 AM »
So...what pants do you guys wear while bowling?  I've been toying around with the idea of buying a pair JUST for bowling.  What should I get?  I see a lot of pros shooting with slacks on, I've seen some guys shooting with jeans and sweats.  What do you prefer and why?

Slacks for sure. They are really comfy, especially
early in the season when it's warm. I do not wear
shorts while bowling, nor do I do the sweat pants
thing. Try the slacks, I think you'll like them.

jeans & a t-shirt....it is only bowling after all. Dress slacks are for the office and special occasions. Leave the slacks to professionals or wannabe's.

On weekdays I usually wear slacks because I'm too lazy to completely change my clothes after work!  On the weekends, I usually just wear jeans.  However, I DO wear slacks outside of work quite a bit since I think they're really comfortable.

Totally agree.. Even though they're really 'business' clothes, I wear them daily, cause they're just so darn comfortable!

Slacks for me. Jeans occasionally.. usually when the slacks are in the wash.

No pants for me! Shorts (Quicksilver cargo shorts) & Under Armour Loose Crew is all I wear for any bowling play.

I can't bowl in jeans, just not comfortable to me. Slacks or khakis for the most part. Occasionally I might wear some sweats, but some that are in good condition, as I hate to come out looking like a total bum. Shorts on occasion if it's hot. T-Shirt or Polo, not comfortable bowling in anything else.

It all depends on what type of bowling I am doing.  If I am working on the center it could be jeans to Dickie's work pants.  If I am working in my office I like scrubbs.  When it comes to formal bowling I like Dockers and a Polo type shirt.  Tournaments and events get the sponsors advertisement polos and black slacks.

Haha, I can't believe some of you are taking this as seriously as you are.  I'm just wondering what other people like, that's all.  

Didn't anybody ever teach you guys if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it?

Unfortunately Noodle, some people bring out their alter-ego and turn into keyboard commandos behind their computer. Sad how they can't act like that in real life. Oh wells...

I'm a tee and jeans kind of guy. Shorts when summer league starts. Sometimes I like to wear a cap, keeps my eyes focused down lane better or when I'm having a bad hair day
