In the 1960s, the fashionable look was slim, sleek and figure hugging. It was also active, so the problem became combining a tight fit with clothes that moved. Enter stretch pants, made possible by postwar developments in man-made fibres.
H. VERTICAL STRETCH tapered leg cotton-nylon pants; stirrups, side zip.
J. DACRON-COTTON stretch pants fit the way you want them with never a wrinkle showing! Vertical stretch Dacron polyester-cotton knits—laminated to acetate , keeps shape. Band waist, side zipper, foot straps.
K. STRETCH DOESKIN... creamy-soft matte knit of acetate-nylon bonded to acetate... gives such s-m-o-o-t-h fit! Food straps, side zipper. Hand washable.
L. CHECK STRETCH. Action ready cotton-nylon pants in swinging checks. Stretch horizontally. Tapered, side zip.
M. STRETCH DENIM. Look, gals... something new's been added to pet pants... a fashiony button front! Denim weave cotton and nylon, designed to stretch in width only. Plenty of action-room... but they keep that tapered sleek fit you're looking for!
N. STRETCH JUMP-ALL for smoothest, curviest shaping! Cotton-nylon jump-all stretches up, down. Back zip, tapered, stirrups.
Most of these stretch pants are made of cotton blended with synthetics (the cotton presumably to let the garments breathe, while the synthetics provided the s-t-r-e-t-c-h.) Nylon appears to be the most popular material, with polyester and acetate coming a distant second.
You'll also note that the designers have borrowed from ski and active sportswear: foot straps and stirrups to anchor the pants down.
