I may be mistaken, but the first thing that comes to mind, and no offence intended, indeed I've already done my half century, is that older women (capri pants) are more prone to "buccia d'arancia" thighs

gambe tortuose
Non capisco bene il contesto, ma mi sembra una critica "estetica" piuttosto colloquiale(?) a chi non ha più l'età per indossare alcuni indumenti.
Quindi azzardo:
"Alcuni insaccano le loro gambe tortuose in dei pinocchietto"
Hummock = monticello (per associazione alle montagne ho lanciato tortuoso, usato spesso come aggettivo per le vene varicose)

cotechini varicosi
ricorda gli stinchi (visibili dai capri) ed è ironico, come sembra nel testo
