I broke down and ordered a new pair of Levis. My old pants simply fall off unless heavily belted.
Now, if I measure my waist at the widest point it is just under 36 inches. I ordered a pair of slacks from Lands End and they fit well, so I ordered my 36W Levis from Amazon.
When I put them on, I got lost in them.
They were over 39 inches at the waist. Now I can understand making room for shrinkage, but three inches? No way.
Now this got me to thinking – is it just that I got a mismarked pair of Levis, or is the company intentionally lying to make fat Americans feel better about themselves? I ordered a 34W so we’ll see.
Speaking of long things, I came home this week to find the dogs barking over a snake … skin. Usually they bark at snakes, but those tend to move. Stupid dogs.
But it was an impressive skin. I draped it across the back of my car for comparison.
