There are Americans who say trousers? :O

@SkullXII haha I didn't even realize I said trousers.. I have no idea why I said it. I just watched almost the entire video trying to hear it because I was like, "No one said trousers in the comments and when the hell did I say trousers in the video?" Of course, I couldn't have said it in the beginning of the vid, no I had to wait til 6 mintues in to say it lol.

Hi, thanks for the video showing how u wear ur jeans over the prosthetic. I'm a recent left AK amputee and will be fitted for a prosthetic leg in 2 weeks time, im a motorcop and I wear a lot of tall knee high cop and engineer boots. I'm just wondering whether I will still be able to put them on with a prosthetic leg.

As far as adding socks.... I either do as you do and find a private place to do leg maintenance or I wear pants with zip off legs. I have been an amputee 18 months so I rarely have to add socks during the day now. My first 9 months or so i was adding all day. The zip offs worked awesome. Shorts for the win!!!!

I usually have my shoes off in the house (I live up north where we have snow, mud etc. on our shoes). To put my jeans on I stick my arm in the bottom of my jeans reaching up through to the top. Then I grab the toes of my prosthesis and pull them through. The top of my prosthesis is too big to slip pants over the top easily. Like your method the pants go on the leg before the leg goes on me. :-)
