Hello, I have a pair of pants that have the Lahco brand. It's a pair of stretchy pants that have a leather band around the bottoms with a square opening in the leather on the outer legs. It has CIS patch on the front. I don't know what year these are from or if these are ski pants or equestrian pants or???. Any help in dating these and what these were used for would be much appreciated. I've attached a photo of the label and leg bottom. Thank you.
Help dating Lahco Swiss ski or riding pants

I've only seen this now as I've been away, but I would think these were ski pants. I know Lahco mainly as a producer of swimwear, but it could be that they also did other things. Ski wear seems more logical, and that Club Intersport label (a hotel and sports shop chain) also make it seem more plausible these ware ski pants, not for riding. The flowery fabric on the inside makes me think 60s or 70s.
Could you please post a picture showing the pants in whole, that would make it easier to see the style and shape - I have an idea these were the type you'd pull over the ski boots. My mom used to work winter seasons in sports/clothing boutiques in ski resorts here in Switzerland in the 60s and early 70s (and was an avid skier), I can show her the picture if you post it and she might know a little more on the style or date :spin:.

I agree that they look like ski pants--but it would help if we could see the entire garment. I'm just about postive they are not any type of riding pant.
