Paramount PDG Bike Shorts. VGC, Men's Med
Came across a pair of Paramount bike shorts I think I bought in the late 80s or early 90s. They are a men's medium and there's no way I ever fit in them so I'm pretty sure they've never been used. The elastic is resilient and doesn't crack. The P logos are in great shape with no cracking and just the smallest little curl on one of them. The chamois is soft and pliable but pretty powdery. I think it just needs laundering. These can definitely be worn and ridden.
Anyway, someone must have a place for these in their Paramount collection. Let's go with $15 shipped CONUS. Payment vial PPFF.
UPDATE: Matching Paramount gloves (size L) now included! See pics in follow-up post. SOLD!

What are they made out of? If they're wool or woll or wool belend I'll take them. (Even though a certain part of me hurts just from the memory of looking at that chamois)

Plonz,
I just measured my older ones and noticed the sizing on these and I can't use them after all.....sorry, I will need to pass.

Checked the tag and as I suspected, no wool content. 89% Nylon and 11% Lycra Spandex. It also states the chamois is synthetic. Feels just like the one I use to dry my car. They are made in the U.S.A.

Just ran across the gloves I must have bought at the same time. They're old but like the shorts, appear unused. Size Large. I'll throw these in with the shorts.
