They, like their real-world counterparts, will be back - in style! 
When you see yourself in a crowded room / do your fingers itch,are you pistol-whipped

that sure explains why I couldn't find them...I really don't like the option of using the flared option w/ the tight pants category
I never even knew they were gone.
your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.

Is the bell bottom pants option gone in the CoH character creator? I have not played in a year but I could not find the old bellbottom pants option or the tight leather pants option. I did find the motorcycle pants, but not the old one.
And FYI, this is one of the strangest things I have ever typed in my life. No way could I explain this to a non-CoH player without being gently led into a padded cell...
