dr1819 Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Gauchos, like ponchos, came from men's fashions, and are still men's fashions in the countries of their origen. Here's a pic of gauchos (the men) performing a dance. Notice the cut of their pants! It's from this CNN article: http://www.cnn.com/2006/TRAVEL/DESTINATIONS/04/26/argentina.gaucho.ap/index.html So again, how is it that men's fashions migrate to womens such that men can't wear them anymore?
flavio Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Gaucho pants with boots are the norm in the south of Brazil dr1819. They really are men's clothes and shoes and part of the tradition of that place. It's usual to see men in the streets wearing that confortably and traditionally, speacially in the winter. In another places of Brazil you'll see men wearing that kind of attire in the so called CTGs - Gaucho's Traditions Centers - and in the Barbecue Restaurants (we call it churrascarias), the most traditional one is "Fogo de Chão" that are in 4 cities in Brazil (including here, Sao Paulo) and another countries like United States. Check http://www.fogodechao.com/locations.htm In the same site you'll see some pictures of the waiters in Gaucho pants and boots. People in the US can go to the restaurant.

BobHH Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 My experience with Brazilian barbecues in Brazil and here is that they feed you until you absolutely can't eat any more.
dr1819 Posted September 26, 2006 Author Posted September 26, 2006 My experience with Brazilian barbecues in Brazil and here is that they feed you until you absolutely can't eat any more. Perhaps that explains the gauchos - wide flare for fat legs.
Dawn HH Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 That's what happens when you eat too much. Gravity puts it into your bottom and your legs. TEE! HEE! Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
flavio Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Bob HH is absolutely right! When we go to these kind of restaurants it's easy to eat untill... untill... untill you feel that your butt is glued to the chair! I did it last week... he he he... Flavio - Brazilian heel lover, now in France.
