As Lululemon Recalls Too-Sheer Black Yoga Pants, its Stock Sinks
Los Angeles Times ^ | March 19, 2013 | Tiffany Hsu

Lululemon Athletica Inc.’s problem isn’t just that a batch of its black yoga pants were made too sheer and had to be recalled – the popular retailer is now downgrading its financial predictions and watching its stock do a downward dog.

The Vancouver, B.C., company said late Monday that it pulled the women’s pants from its stores and e-commerce sites over the weekend after learning that the material was too revealing. The Luon fabric is produced in Vietnam and Taiwan and made with a mix of nylon and Lycra spandex fibers.

In a lengthy FAQ posted on its website, the chain said it was still investigating how a batch of too-skimpy pants was allowed to reach stores in early March. Lululemon hasn’t changed its manufacturers or ingredient quality since 2004, it said.

They should have named them “camel pants” due to the revealing toes.......

Some people have no sense of humor ~ of course there was a DEMAND for them or they wouldn’t have manufactured so many of them!

Oh my gosh. I think these have been around for years. You see females in stretchy clingy pants, which show the outline of front and back areas, if you.get my drift. This is nothing new.

I will get flamed, go ahead. But I think some like to wear these pants, otherwise they would choose to wear something more modest.

Have no clue. I am not into designer clothing much less this stuff.

I wear jeans or khakis. Work clothes for me around the farm and seed business.

I was just curious about what they actually looked like, and that pic was one I found.

Sounds like an advertising campaign to me.

Now every female and her sister are going to want a pair.

“You see females in stretchy clingy pants, which show the outline of front and back areas, if you get my drift.”

The real issue here is that these women really believe they look good. Remember the stirrup pants from the 80’s?, lots of gals looked like ice cream cones when seen from the rear elevation.
