I only wear pants I can do a high kick in! That means I predominantly wear chinos. Blue jeans are great, because they were invented in America. It’s one of many things that make this country great. They are heavy, though and typically inhibit movement. You need to wear pants that you can easily move around in. There's no telling when there's going to be a situation. If the shit hits the fan you need to be able to move, and be able to throw a high kick.
Chinos are lightweight, clean, light and deadly when worn by the right person. You look unassuming in them. You look like a nerd perhaps. They’ll never see that swift kick to their dome. No sir, they won’t. Then it’ll be lights out for them, and it’s all thanks to your pants (and training). Try pulling off a kick in jeans. There’s a 30% reduction in speed. That is my estimation (which is most likely completely inaccurate).
When I go all sorts of Double Dragon on the streets I’m chino clad (disclaimer, I never go all sorts of Double Dragon on the streets). No man should be running around in sweatpants when they’re out and about in public. Sure, once in a while post gym (after getting that good money) we’re in sweats. Other than that we’re representing. So, we mustn’t look like middle school kids. We’re big boys now, and need to be ready to defend our country.
I know what you’re thinking… what about those Chuck Norris action jeans? Well, I guess you could go there. Still they’re heavier than chinos. There’s still a reduction in speed.
Remember when the Socs and Greasers used to fight? Who won those battles? It was mainly the Socs. Why? They wore chinos. They had a 30% increase in kicking speed. The Greasers leather and denim slowed them down.
Always be prepared. When you are out and about always be ready for battle. Always represent. Sweats are for middle schoolers. Chinos are for men ready to battle. So put on your pair of chinos, and fight for the stars and stripes!
