Slacks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Slacks is a common term used to reference pants or trousers. This term is generally restricted to dress pants, usually of the pleated variety. Joseph Haggar of the Haggar Clothing Co. in 1938 claims to have created the term and category "Slacks" as a pant that could be worn away from work, or during a man's "slack time", but according to the Oxford English Dictionary, it was used to describe "loosely cut trousers" as early as 1824. Slacks historians have long disputed the claim that slacks can only refer to dress pants, and have long lobbied to have jeans and sweatpants included in the category.
It could also refer to:
- Donovan Slacks, leader of a militant fishermen's uprising in 1920s Britain
- Slacks Creek, Queensland, a suburb of Logan City, Queensland, Australia.
- Slacks Creek Tigers - a football club that currently plays in Brisbane Premier Division 1
