Costco Sale On Mobile Pants

[Ed Hansberry]

Apparently Costco is running a sale on Docker's Mobile Pants. I can't find any info at Docker's Web site. I hope they aren't being discontinued. :worried: <br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/hansberry/2003/20030620-mobilepants.jpg" /><br /><br />Anyway, they're $19.99 per pair. I've sent my wife on a mission to get me at least three more pair. If I find they are being discontinued, I'll be taking out a second mortgage to get a lifetime supply.

[yawanag]

Better ask your wife to get you a supply of cotton briefs or you may look like a DOUBLE EXPOSURE! :devilboy:

[jmarkevich]

That phrase "Mobile Pants" is kinda unsettling.

It also reminds me of an old Dr. Seuss story :lol:

[szamot]

dude they got pleats, no one wears pleats these days anymore! You are going to be a fashion disaster.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha :lol: Fashion is a David Bowie song for me, not something I think about when buying clothes.

[TypeMRT]

I am that big of a nerd that this is BIG news!

Pleats are still what is required for that "fresh-pressed" look!

I wore my black mobile pants yesterday to give a presentation at CeBIT America and I fit right in with the business casual crowd.

[lgingell]

I find the zip's can be a bit of a pain at some airport security checkpoints now....if you get "hand wanded/massaged" they first wonder what they are, then get all suspicious that you have hidden zip pockets!

I stilll love 'em though.

[Kaber]

We no longer fly.

Hail the magic pants!

[Paul]

The black mobile pants are dust magnets, how do you wear them? Oh, and there are flat front versions as well for the fashion minded.

[Steven Cedrone]

When J.C. Penny's had the sale awhile back (I think they were 14.99/pair), I went back to get more and they said they were being discontinued... :cry:

My opinion: get 'em while you can!!!

Steve

[Kaber]

Go go gadget pants!

[MitzEclipse]

I have never seen flat-front mobile pants - does anyone have them?

[Gremmie]

There will be Mobile Dockers 2

[Newsboy]

These are the pants I wear when I'm in NYC, or whenever I travel on planes. A whole lot harder to get pick-pocketed when you have hidden zippers!

[MitzEclipse]

There will be Mobile Dockers 2

Source?

[Gremmie]

Infosync and a few others; awhile back they mentioned on the Mobile Dockers 2 will have special radioactive shielding in the pockets to protect a man's *cough* manhood *cough* from the cell phone.

I've finally seen it all......we've had massive posts on upgraded operating systems, now we have posts on the next "version" of pants!!!!

:lol:

Does anyone know if the old Mobile Dockers are flash upgradable to Mobile Dockers 2????

I really don't know if I want to see a "flash" upgrade of these pants. We may have mass arrests of loyal PPC users... :oops:

[mlivshin]

I was looking all over in COSCO but couldn't find it. Search on Cosco website didn't find anything either. Can anybody point me to the right direction?
Thanks,

ahahaha :D :D

geek jokes. i just tried explaning this to someone (who was curious as to my laughter). they just looked at me blankely.

this thread is great. :P

i always use cargo pants from old navy (they have HUGE pockets, and lots of them - holds my PPC great), but they are obviously for casual wear. for more formal attire i suppose i should pick some of these up.

I cannot believe that someone here has not emailed Dockers offering to beta test them.

[Gremmie]

Hey, we've had two rumor mills about the iPaq 4000 and Gateway PPC's, why not a front page rumor mill about these dockers? :lol:

[mlivshin]

Where do you find them?
I can't find them on Costco website and didn't see them in warehouse either.
Thanks

it depends on the warehouse - some will have them others won't. Each one gets a different stock.

[snowlion]

can someone englighten me as to why these pants are called "mobile pants".

[brntcrsp]

They are advertised to carry all your "mobile devices." PDA, Mobile phone, etc., and help you from the combat pants that one would have to wear for all the toys. I still prefer the combats myself - but a pair of these wouldn't go amiss either.

nope but they are flash downgradable to Mobile Shorts v.1

[David C]

are they stain defenders also?

[pro_worm]

Personally, I heard that the Mobile Dockers 2 will be a big dissapointment. They're based on a new fabric design, but most of the changes are on the inside; from a user standpoint, you won't see much of a real improvement. Some of the little bits you really don't care that much about, like the zipper, have been redone but I seriously recommend waiting until Mobile Dockers 3 if you really want some user-end improvements. Like I said, its all under the hood.

Dammit I can't wait until June 23rd :D

If that doesn't work, you have to navigate the site a bit until you can do a search for "Mobile Dockers". The site shows they have three different pairs.

[Kevin C. Tofel]

I haven't seen the specs....doubt they are "stain defenders". I'm sure a PPC 3rd party will apply their custom fitted screen protector technology and come up with an accesory. I can see it now...instead of ordering 320 x 240 size screen protectors, we'll order 32 x 34 pieces of removable plastic that are pants shaped!!!

:lol:

They are according to the link above. :lol:

Sweet, that's what I've been waiting for, Mobile Pants with that Dupont Teflon coating thingie. I'd asked them in the past and a Levi's rep did say it was coming...

I have a mix of Mobile Pants and regular pants w/ Stain Defenders (as well as dress shirts w/ SD). Of course they wear out kinda fast after repeated washings...

P.S. How about that Scott E-Vest... might be nice to have Teflon coated vest too (no, not the bulletproof type) :)

[brntcrsp]

i better pick up some of those stain resistant pants for monday... :)

Yes... the insanely long link. Darn those crazy Dockers Web guys! :crazyeyes: (Thanks Ed, for the abbreviation).

I've been wanting to get a pair of these pants. But I could never find a long enough inseam. So for right now, I wear Old Navy Painter's Pants. Lots of pockets there. Still not a long enough inseam, but they're jeans, so they work alright.

"Hey! To the Dockers designers: If you're reading this, please make a 36" inseam for your Mobile Pants! That would be appreciated by many!"

Suspenders and garters mean the opposite in the UK and the US. In the US, suspenders are those straps that clip onto your trousers and go over your shoulders for holding your trousers up (deliberately avoiding the word "pants" as that means "panties" in the UK).

In the UK, "suspenders" are what we think of as "garters" - those straps that hold up ladies' stockings.

I'm guessing that in this case what ctmagnus meant by "garters" are those dorky suspenders that guys used to wear to hold up their socks. I think.

Then again, I could be wrong.

Depends on which usage the Canadians use, I would think. ;)

Hee! I was just being ditzy. I saw "Golden, BC," and even though I KNOW British Columbia is a Canadian province, some ditzy :silly: part of my brain just fixated on the "British" part.

I was referring to the sock holders, and alluding to the fact that Ed probably would wear black socks with them. And I'm very Canadian, except that there's no Tim Horton's here yet (which unfortunately means that Krispy Kreme is still a ways off :( )

[Mitch D]

For God's Sake man... You live in a part of this great country that has no Timmy's? I thought no such place existed!!!! Time to write Tim Hortons a nasty email!!!

Oh. That's a little less scarring then.

[thomas1973]

As Canada is still part of the British Commonwealth, I guess ctmagnus is sort of British... :wink:

[Jonathon Watkins]

Now, now, don't diss the kilt. :!: I AM British/Scottish and Yes, I wore a kilt for my wedding. (Without garters though :razzing: I have NEVER seen guys wear them - and I've been to a lot of weddings, dinners and Ceilidhs where kits have been worn).

But did you wear underwear with it? Or is that just a tragic myth?

[Jonathon Watkins]

Thomas.

Sorry, but he’s not, (Though I’m sure he would like to be :wink:). Here’s the breakdown of what you can be called if you live in this blessed area of the world.

Britain (Isle of) = Scotland, England, Wales
Great Britain = Scotland, England, Wales (+ a number of smaller islands which are Anglesey, the Isle of Wight, the Hebrides, the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands).
United Kingdom = Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Wales and the smaller islands.
British Isles = Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales, the Faroe Islands, the Isle of Man and the
smaller islands.

Or, you could check these two sites:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain
http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/home/scotland/britain.html

Confused yet? :mrgreen:

There's plenty of room in a sporan for a PDA - though I don't know if it counts as mobile pants. :)

[Jonathon Watkins]

Oh, I forgot to mention what people from the Commonwealth are called. It’s,….. (drum roll) …… Common. :lol:

Just Keeeediiiiiing. :mrgreen: We love you really!

Actually, my mom has British ancestry. But it's my dad's Icelandic ancestry that's far more dominant. :twisted:

How about Wealthy? (And I'm not referring to the financial sense.) :wink:

[ctmagnus]

Oh, and to show my love for the British, I will confess that I know (and get along with) people who used to live in one of the "flats" that are shown at the beginning and/or end of Coronation Street. :D

Edit: forgot the :nonono: :wink: :mrgreen: :twisted:
