So . . . thigh goiters were a problem in the 30s, then? I'm sure this style had a practical reason for looking like this, and would be quite dashing on someone with a white shirt, an white pith helmet, and a whip, but to modern eyes they look like something you'd wear to store unexpected release of bodily wastes, or conceal the fact that you were actually Pan, the Goat God.

Could the style ever return? Sadly, yes. Give them time.
