pantalons bombatxos


Explanation:
Suposo que deu ser això el que busques, ja que buscant, m'he trobat mil i una coses com a Elephant Pants, des de pantalons fins a calçotets en forma d'elefant, pero crec que "pantalons bombatxos" és l'adeqüada.

La referència l'adjunto al final, i tot i que el mot sembla un barbarisme, és una entrada recollida al diccionari VOX.

Espero que et sigui d'ajuda.

agree  MPTierno: Penso que "de pota de elefant" tenen una forma diferent als "de campana". Són més estrets... fins arribar al peu.
