Seriously. Who buys these? I can understand wearing them because you give up on life, but I don't understand buying them. When I give up on life, I don't feel like going out and buying clothes to reflect how bad I feel.

I don't have any right now, but they're awesome for loafing around the house. When you're not naked that is.

I never really thought of them as comfortable. It feels too much like being naked. I like the feel of heavy clothes in general. I wear a thick (heavy) lab coat around the house instead of a house coat. I like heavy blankets too. I know a blanket filled with feathers is lighter and a better insulator, but there's something so nice about the weight of a thick and heavy blanket.

That sounds like giving up on life.

In the winter, I'll either wear those sleep/lounge pants or sweat pants. I never leave the house in the sleep pants, but occasionally I'll wear sweat pants out of the house. Why? Because they're comfy, and I don't give a fuck what other people think.

Absolutely. But none of the elastic around the ankle style shit.

When I'm home I'm almost always naked, I would answer the door naked if the damn delivery people didn't run away when I did...

Yep. If you ever work outside or exercise outside you'd see the value in them. I also wear them as pajamas or around the house clothes. I love me some sweat pants. Also great for walking the dog in the winter. They're toasty.

I wear them around the house or sleep in them when it is cold or when I'm puttering around the garage sometimes but I never wear them out in public.

I wear them to work out, and basically for bumming around the house.

Yep...I pretty much live in them during the "colder" months...then I switch to shorts.

It's getting harder and harder to find decent "sweats" around here in the B&M stores.

Anyone remember the track pants phase?

I hopped on after the trend started dying.... man those were terrible pants.

Wow. That was the most attractive guy they could get for that picture? There's no way I'm buying that.

Ironically, it seems like my back radiates a lot more heat than my front does. Covering the front instead of the back would make me cold, but I can wear my lab coat with my gut hanging out and it's toasty.
