Mustang Skintight Stretchjeans

This is just too odd.

That person should not be smoking cigarettes. Bad for you.

Erik’s in Australia.

It does say rural parts of Sweden and Norway, and doesn’t mention Denmark at all; but even where my parents live, in Bum****, Sweden, I have never seen anyone wear such hideously tight jeans.

Sure, the whole pseudo-Japanese-cum-eighties-retro-tight-jeans style is (unfortunately) very ‘in’ at the moment, but not like that.

Sorry Oisin, I forgot to ask you have a pair. Erik is from that part of the world, no?

He is, yes. Nothing like being far from home to make you realise how ridiculous your peers all look in their fashionably correct outfits, though.

(And no, I most certainly do not have a pair of those. Unlike the people in those videos, as commented by whoever it was that wrote the article, my calves are anything but minuscule or bird-legged)

I did a google search and a youtube search and couldn't find anything for "Skinjean"; maybe this video is just a parody video?

oh... Mustang Skinlines, I was just searching for the wrong thing.

I liked it better when I thought they were fake.

That looks extremely uncomfortable. I like my pants nice and roomy.

This whole thing looks like a belated April Fools joke.

Is the tucked in t-shirt just so he can show off the jeans, or is it like "**** it, I'm already making one fashion faux pas..."

I worked for Volvo (no not the cars - they're Ford) for over six years.

Yes, the Swedes really are that weird.

Although ... midsommar (21st of June) is basically an orgy. If you can't get laid on the 21st of June in Sweden then you have SERIOUS problems.

Exactly. Also very bad for others around him/her.
