Thank you, everyone! I am happily surprised with the amount of
answers! It makes me afraid of asking "What do you call that little nibby bit

I had a pair of dark red corduroy knickerbockers in the early 1980s. Being used
to wearing breeches as a musketeer in the Sealed Knot, and finding them
comfortable, I was happy to follow the fashion.

Hey, be loud and proud about your sartorial choices. I had two pairs of
knickers I got in my last year or two of high school--'81 or '82--the kind
with the band just below the knee. One pair was a tasteful tweed. The
other was lilac corduroy that I wore with cream colored socks and lavender

Ah, I remember my New Romantic days, those wonderful black velvet
knickerbockers and frilly white blouse! But in the UK, certainly
modernly, it's always knickerbockers. Knickers are female underwear,
only. The idea of (male) baseball players routinely wearing knickers is
hilarious!
