Three legs joined in a triangle, so that any adjacent pair can be worn on the legs with the other one standing by, so to speak. The advantages fall into two categories:
Practical:
In case of damage to one leg, two are still available to be worn. If you spill a cup of coffee down one leg
just before an important meeting, just switch to the spare. Gallons of extra pocket space for all those little (and big) necessities that you can't fit into meagre conventional trouser pockets. Use the third leg to keep your hands warm in winter.
Fashion:
Make the three legs in different colours, then pick the combination that matches your mood on any day (and even change it during the day). Choose whether to wear your third leg in front or behind, giving two completely different looks. Arrange it artfully like a kind of nether cravat. Or if none of these appeal, roll it up and stow it out of sight in its own pocket.

Brilliant! Three-legged trousers are this seasons black (+) I'd wear them |
|
|
Incredible! A croissant within 5 seconds of posting, I'm filling up here. I'd just like to thank my producer ... |
|
|
Do they come as shorts as well? + |
|
|
Indeed, but they'd have a different, er, content on either side of the Atlantic. |
|
|
You could fit a pole in the third leg... |
|
|
...(apologies to newer 'bakers, to whom the above will have little meaning, since it refers to an old hb controversy). |
|
|
I thought brown was the new black? |
|
|
In November, 1991 Saturday Night Live did a fake commercial for Leevis 3 Legged Jeans. Does anyone else remember that? |
|
|
Yes, I remember, they were jumping on a trampoline, doing cartwheels, and running hand and hand down the beach etc, with the song going "a leg and a leg and a leg....." so that would make this baked, no? |
|
|
I thoroughly recommend the whole Jake the Peg experience. As a child I got my mother to make some 3 legged trousers, then spent days practising walking with a stick with a shoe on the end. It looks better than you'd think - really funny. |

|
|
Surely half-baked, at the most. And they weren't even serious, whereas I have my patent application in already. |
|
|
PS: the real question with Rolf Harris was, which leg was the fake one - all too many people assumed it was the middle one. |
|
|
The joke commercial doesn't so much bake this, as it does make it not original. |
|
|
Why stop at 3? 4 legs would be perfect for dance partners or for extra storage. |
|
|
Couldn't SNL sue you or something. I mean its pretty well documented that they came up with the idea first. But I don't see this fadd becoming too popular anytime soon. |
|
|
Is that a third leg in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me? |
|
|
you could wrap one leg around your waist |
|
|
This idea is utter nonsense....but I'll give it thumbs up because the idea of three-legged trousers made me laugh...! |
|
|
utter nonsense? never! without experimenting you will never find what your'e after. + |
|
|
I have absolutely never seen so many spam on one page (link: leevi's 3 legged jeans). And I still can't find a picture of the jeans. |
|
|
I agree, why top at 3 legs?... but better keep under 10 legs though. Many more than that and you'd have a skirt!! |
|
|
ehh...think you'd look like a clown in these. would prefer the I-just-spilled-coffee- on-my-trousers look. |
