The Dogmother Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 This has to be the most ridiculous idea I've ever seen An Italian company called Acquacalda has created a pair of denim capri pants that feature a piece of fabric between the thighs. The flap spreads out when you sit cross-legged, so it doubles as a plate. It even has a pocket on the outside of the thigh to hold a drink! Oh those Italians, they just think of everything.

craftyhunnypie Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Ugh disgusting! Looks like pants with a built in loo - if you get my meaning! Terrible! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Not for me thanks! Their website has some cool things on it though http://www.acquacaldadesign.it/fisicaapplicata_e.htm like the one for all and all for one and the Archimedes scales (I would put the cool face here, but that no longer seems to be on the list!)

Snowy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Great idea! But Sod's Law would dictate that you would be invited to a picnic the day they were in the wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I think I might have problems with these. I'm only short so the edge of the 'table' would extend beyond my knees, creating a sliding off point for any food. Also I would be in danger of tipping my food everywhere as I would have to keep moving - I couldn't sit cross legged like that for very long - I would seize up. I wonder if they could attach a hoist to get me up again once my knees have locked? Hmm, on second thoughts better cancel my order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 I was also wondering about needing a block and tackle to get up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 And there was me thinking how stylish and well dressed the Italians are! Talk about shattered illusions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 What if you had to run away form all those wasps that bother you on picnics you would be unable to sprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeloo Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 And there was me thinking how stylish and well dressed the Italians are! Talk about shattered illusions! I already had those illusions dispelled by going to Italy a few years back! I wonder if they were inspired by Karl Pilkington's Pilko Pump Pants. They actually make his invention look sophisticated in comparison! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 What if you had to run away form all those wasps that bother you on picnics you would be unable to sprint. Ahh, but you wouldn't have to run......just wait for a breeze and stand with your legs apart ! A whole new take on hang gliding . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
