Men's?

[edit]

According to the dictionary, these are for women and girls. I'm just removing the "men's" designation and leaving it gender-neutral for now. Whoever expands the article will surely have references one way or the other. Krychek 13:55, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The photo doesn't show pedal pushers and should be removed/replaced

[edit]

The photo is labeled `A woman wearing "pedal pusher" pants, 1942"'. It links to "Girl worker at lunch also absorbing California sunshine, Douglas Aircraft Company, Long Beach, Calif. (LOC) (2179923542).jpg"

She is wearing 1942-style, long, loose trousers that she's pulled up over her calves, apparently to absorb California sunshine. Her trousers, when let down, are loose enough that would easily become entangled with a bicycle chain. She's not wearing pedal pushers.

Pedal pushers are not loose and, when fully extended, are still short enough that they will clear bicycle chains.

I recommend that this picture be removed and replaced with a correct one. (Sorry, I don't have one that meets Wikipedia photo guidelines.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddrane (talkcontribs) 19:38, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
