1. I used to work in jean mfg... it never really works to alter jeans. Jeans are manufactured / sewn on industrial machines using industrial weight threads that aren't readily available at most altering services. In addition, after jeans are sewn they laundered in huge machines with hundreds of other garments, stones & abrasives which create that distinctive worn look on the seams and hems... this cannot be duplicated in a home laundrey environment... so altering the fit of a pair of jeans always ends up "showing" in the weirdest most unauthentic way.
2. Re: Black pants... you can never have too many. You may decide to work for Starbucks some day & then you'll need every single pair you own
That's me right now.
We're flying down to Naples for a week at Easter so I've spent the whole morning going through my summer clothing. I've been trying on everything. And my conclusion is that as full of myself as I was last night for having porker jeans that were too big, well, every pair of summer shorts is still snug. God lord do I ever need to do a wad of biking and kayakking down in SoWal.
Scary!!!!!!!!!!!!Okay, clicky on the picture for an SNL skit that this thread reminded me of.
