This is not to suggest there is a link between Nazis and polo players except for the silly pants. And it wasn’t just Nazis. Gen. George Patton wore them, although I can’t imagine why.
(Having written that, I bestirred myself to do some research and learned that for years, such pants were part of U.S. military uniforms. It’s a good thing I checked because I would have never heard the end of it from some of you people.)
The pants in question are jodhpurs. You would look silly wearing them at the mall, but they are very useful if you are on horseback.
They are designed to give you plenty of room around your saddle area. The tight fit below the knee was tucked into tall riding boots, also known as jodhpur boots.
Jodhpurs are named for an Indian city. Colonial British officers adapted them from the traditional garb of Indian horsem*n.
Some polo players still wear them today, but they largely have been replaced by stretch fabrics.
What is the difference between excuse and recuse?
Recuse is a legal term used when a person disqualifies him/herself from some sort of official case.
Excuse is an explanation of some action, such as, “Please excuse me for stepping on your head. I didn’t see you there.”
Some baggy pants uniforms were so visual that they gave units nicknames like “the devils in baggy pants”. Then there was the extra space that baggy pants and jodhpurs provided. Extra space can be used for much. Extra isolation in the cold winter.
Patton began his military career as a cavalryman and he viewed the tank as a modern form of cavalry. His riding breeches were a visible symbol of this attitude.

These are jodhpurs, a style of pants developed primarily for horseback riding. Their intent was to allow flexibility in the hip and thigh while the more narrow lower portion worked well with riding boots and didn't get caught up in stirrups.
Gaiters: Also called leggings, gaiters served to keep dirt out of the shoes and to protect the legs in rough terrain. They were worn over trouser legs and stopped just below the knee. Gaiters were black wool or painted black canvas with a button closure on the outer side and a strap under the boot.
Originally, jodhpurs were snug-fitting from just below the knee to the ankle, and were flared at the hip to allow ease for sitting in the saddle. Modern jodhpurs are made with stretch fabric and are tight-fitting throughout.
Over time, leaders realized that the dress blues were too formal for everyday business use. With the launch of the AGSU, Soldiers will now have an everyday service uniform, which will set an appropriate standard for professionalism within an office setting, Lee added.
For the majority of Americans, Patton is most recognizable as a key commander of the U.S. Army throughout World War II, where he played a major role in leading troops to reclaim France and Germany. But among horse people, Patton is equally recognized for his lifelong love of equines.
Horse riders traditionally wear jodhpurs. Giddy up! Jodhpurs were originally loose and baggy around the hips and thighs, inspired by the Indian trousers called the churidar, or churidar pyjamas.
White riding pants are traditionally worn during horse shows: show jumping or dressage events. They are white by tradition to allow a better appreciation by the judges of the posture of the rider. The rules of the federations generally specify a "correct dress required".
Because of their elastic fabrics and their precise shape, they allow a rider's lower body to be fitted as closely as possible, allowing considerable, easy freedom of movement.
Wide-leg trousers are a good choice for thicker thighs. The loose fit provides ample room for your thighs while creating a balanced silhouette. Look for high-waisted options that cinch in at the waist to accentuate your curves. Pair them with a tucked-in blouse or a fitted top to create an effortlessly chic look.
Remember: If you're going to ride in leggings, make sure to choose a pair that's full length with no cutouts that could get caught or torn on your tack.
In their study, Vartanian et al4 concluded that a wide upper thigh, with an optimal transition from the buttock to the thigh, was the most attractive shape. Therefore, both gluteus and thighs should be increased simultaneously.
Jodhpurs, in their modern form, are tight-fitting trousers to the ankle, where they end in a snug cuff, and are worn primarily for horse riding. The term is also used as slang for a type of short riding boot, also called a paddock boot or a jodhpur boot, because they are worn with jodhpurs.
Probably because they're comfy. You can find plenty of old photos depicting Dutch men in such baggy pants. Dressed in wide trousers and wooden clogs, they look charming, like some surreal fairy-tale characters.
