Over the centuries many beautiful objects have been crafted from wood. Wood is a lovely material, superb texture and perfume. Carve exquisitely decorated trousers. Polish to perfection. Hinge unobtrusively in polished brass, or for a more modern look, titanium. Line with fine velvet, in contrasting colours. Wonderful.

And a whole range of support services grew around this idea - almost instantly. [zen_tom, Jul 03 2007]

Someone out there has already taken this idea and created wooden coats. [zen_tom, Jul 03 2007]

       Ah! Ah!! AHHHHGH! Splinter!!!!! Oh wait, it's just this croissant in my pants.

       Then the spring came, and with it, the woodpeckers...
neutrinos_shadow, Jul 02 2007
  

       No titanium. Wood.
wagster, Jul 02 2007
  

       With louvres for hot days.

(Note: Actually, it is possible to buy wooden trousers. You can buy trousers made from rayon, which is a fibre made from viscose, which is made from wood cellulose).

       You could branch out into wooden shirts.
skinflaps, Jul 03 2007
  

       Baked by Pinocchio.
xandram, Jul 03 2007
  

       [hippo] Rayon is even less wood than paper is. Same raw material, but completely changed in all macroscopic physical properties. But I see your points.
Galbinus_Caeli, Jul 03 2007
  

       I thought Pinocchio's trousers were made out of paint?
wagster, Jul 03 2007
  

       [wagster] You at thinking of $STARLET
Galbinus_Caeli, Jul 03 2007
  

       My noodly appendage may not enjoy this.
RayfordSteele, Jul 03 2007
  

       Oh, I think [wags] is right. OK then, this gives a new meaning to "Liar, liar, pants on fire".
xandram, Jul 03 2007
  

       They should be called hölzernhose though. The advertising slogan could be "Got wood?"   

       I think this is a WIBNI (wooden it be nice if).

       For the man who has everything, a pair of double pleated wooden trousers made from 4,500 year old English Oak recovered from a peat bog in Ireland. [+]

       //My noodly appendage may not enjoy this//   

       Maybe a codpiece with an inlaid Jolly Roger?
nomocrow, Jul 03 2007
  

       Finally my clogs will be an appropriate accessory.   

       RUN FOREST!   

       Shortly followed by the mercifully brief simulated wood grain formica swimwear craze.
normzone, Jul 03 2007
  

       I think these would need a pair of heavy duty suspenders.   

       And how would the hips twist and hinge sideways?
BJS, Jul 05 2007
  

       Ah! Sir would like the upgraded FLEXIBLE wooden trousers.
Galbinus_Caeli, Jul 05 2007
  

       "On which side does Sir dress one's morning wood?"
Ling, Jul 06 2007
  

       Sit still! Got termites in your pants?
melanerpes, Jul 06 2007
  

       Wooden fit
BunsenHoneydew, Jul 07 2007
  

       Haven't been to the bakery in a while - shocked to see that nobody has mentioned "pole pants".
Trodden, Jul 09 2007
  

       They wouldn't bend enough so I think they'd be uncomfortable, even with the hinge. Sorry (-)   

         

       Clogs were notoriously uncomfortable ..
britboy, Jul 09 2007
  

       ...before the advent of the felt-liner breakthrough.
Texticle, Jul 09 2007
  

       I thought rubber clogs were really the popular shoe this year. Aren't they called gators or crocks or something?
