Facet observe, I do know from expertise that if I have to get pants hemmed, I’ll by no means, ever take them to the tailor, and so they’ll keep that size for years and can by no means get worn. Sigh.
How about pockets? Usually, they’d be a prerequisite for me, too, however I’m on the level the place I’m keen to let it go as a result of it’s been that arduous discovering a pair of pants that I don’t hate! LOL.
