I spy the 50's & 60's pants!!! 

              The pedal pusher                 came out in the 50's & grew popular throughought
 the 60s. They are a calf length         trouser.

             They are
         cousins to the
     "Capri pants" but these
  ones are known to be more           tight on the skin.

                            The name
                       "Pedal pusher"
                originated from the
          idea that the pants were
      worn by cyclists; regular pants
         would get caught in the
               chain or pedal
                    whereas these
                          wouldn't.

                  Known to be a 100%                cotton pant made out
        of a twill like fabric.
     First created in the
  1800's for the men in
     the military; it was
           simple, comfortbale
               and cheap.

               It was revolution-
         ized in the late 50's.              Women would appro-
 priate this style of
 pant as a loose and
    light pair of trouser
         like bottom.

Trousers as well
    as bermuda style                            pants are also con-
          sidered as a kind of
         chino-cloth pant
      because of their
   simplicity in style.

 The name "Chino"
   is actually the spanish
        name for chinese.                        Because the chinese                  created the outfits for            the spanish military,
    they would name them chino-clothes
