Pants...OF DUCT TAPE!

This post is kinda off topic for a tech blog but I haven't updated in forever and it's still in the realm of geek stuff. For the longest time, I've wanted pants made out of duct tape. A few years back, I convinced a friend to make a pair if I provided the duct tape. Well that never happened because I never got around to getting the loads of tape and giving it to him. Later I thought, "How am I ever going to get the pants to fit properly?" when I got the idea to wrap an old pair instead of making a pair using just tape. Also wrapping real pants means fabric on the inside which is a lot better than tape when it comes to sweat. Well, like the initial idea, that thought sat rotting in my mind never to see the light of day until; a few hours ago, I thought, "Hey! I have this old pair of pants that's a bit short but still comfy, why not wrap these!" So I started wrapping till I ran out of black tape. Now they are sitting in my room waiting for me to go get some more tape to finish the job. I'll model the finished pants.
