    I miss him! I loved reading his posts, just to see what he has torn up this time.

    So -- over the past... umm... few years, I've lost weight. Quite a bit of weight, all told.
    This spring, our church held its (once) semi-annual rummage sale (disrupted, of course, by COVID for over a year). I like to pick up pants & shirts cheap at the rummage sale for working out in the garden. This year, I found a pair of Gap jeans, in good condition, for $2 (the standard price). These rascals have a 32-inch waist. I am right now on the small side of a 33 inch waist, so I figured for 2 bucks these were worth a try.

    Turns out that: 1) they're Gap "1969" jeans, with a button fly. I've never owned a pair of button fly jeans before :p 2) they have very tapered legs, and are, all in all, cut very... umm... skinnily.

    They fit fine.
    I feel like Bruce Springsteen wearing them. :#
    'cept -- no bandana.
    Do I have to start wearing a white "wife beater" :/ sleeveless undershirt now?

    I am tempted to share a photo but thinking maybe that's not such a great idea. :|

    OK, I thought y'all needed to know all of this.
    Especially in the context of this epochal thread.
    Carry on.

    :D

    PFB certainly was entertaining, in a train wreck sort of way...

    This excerpt is from a fashion article dated 8.23.21.


    Google searches for low-rise jeans have surged 91% over the past six months — with wide leg and flare jeans being the most popular styles — per fresh analysis from Jefferies retail analyst Stephanie Wissink. In other words, the 18-year reign of skinny jeans as the de facto jeans style of choice is slowly coming to an end.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    2 of the greatest things to come out of the late 60's were hot pants and hip-huggers.
    My vote would go for the latter.

    On the other end of the spectrum, saggy jeans still seem to be a thing around here with certain folks. I swear they must safety pin them to their underwear. I don't know how they'd stay up otherwise. Could be useful for depends wearers, but mostly just looks stupid.

    Dudes wearing skinny jeans pretty much says "I have no clue what Legs Day at the gym is."
    No excuses!
