And the Onion has discovered them right back. From the story itself:

No, they really mean it. What woman can resist a pudgy dude dress up in a 1960s era Bond villain suit?

Lt_Ryan: Is it local fashion to have over sized pants? The majority of pants the men are wearing appear to have little taper to them, I know the country is stuck in the past but it almost looks like the suit designer took a page from the 80s classic of parachute pants when designing the fit. Not to mention the hats look like they were inspired by the halos in 15th century cathedrals stained glass.

Parachute pants got the name because they were made of shiny, thin fabric similar to that of a parachute. They were absolutely NOT big and billowy. In the 80s, all pants were skin tight. It was the anti-baggy pants era. (MC Hammer's turkish "harem pants" are sometimes erroneously referred to as "parachute pants.")

/Had a red pair and a black pair. They were mandatory if you were a teen/20-something in the 80s.
//Parachute pants had plenty of zipper pockets in which to store spare belt onions...
