Today, we will focus on sweatpants. The first pair of sweatpants was introduced in the 1920’s by Emile Camuset, the founder of Le Coq Sportif, a sports store. These were simple gray jersey pants that allowed athletes to stretch and run comfortably. Sweatpants are defined as loose, warm trousers with an elasticized or draw string waist, worn when exercising or for leisure. Sweatpants are usually made of cotton or polyester or a blend and often of a heavy knit. In addition to having an elastic waist or drawstring waist band, the may or may not have pockets. Most sweatpants have an elastic cuff at the hem of the leg;however, they can have on open hem. They are traditionally baggy and loose. They were called sweatpants because the design and material consumed less heat as compared to other conventional trousers or jeans that were worn as an exercise pant of that time. They were named sweatpants because they trapped less heat then other pants. They were perfect for athletic people playing a sport or exercising. Today, some people call them sweatpants because they can actually make them sweat. Some sweatpants are made a thick material and are meant to keep your legs warm.
