Lee:

I have a friend who had a British co-worker who called that garment
with long legs on it "Striders."  What be the dif between striders and
trousers?

Geoff:

Well, as a UK English native speaker, I've never heard of Striders.....

Blue Dragon:

I'm Australian, and men's trousers here have been known as "strides".
This may not necessarily be the case nowadays, but I remember my
brother calling them "strides" several years ago.
