creased
Go to page 3 of the below source
Vi havde mærkeligt hår, gik i gamle herrejakker med bælte om livet, ålede gamacher med huller, brugte stiletter med ragsokker, sorte læderjakker med nitter,....
Thanks Eva for another option. |
wrinkled (at the knees)

Another possibility is something like slinky, if the ´ålede´means ´ålenslank´
