a wish for jeans that fit

Sunday Dec 2nd 2007

Years ago it was really easy for my to buy jeans. My size has been 38×30 for a long time and hasn’t changed.

Or maybe it has.

Here’s the situation: I need 2 pairs of new jeans.

This should be as simple as..

Go to store
Buy two pair of 38×30 jeans
Go home

But it’s not that simple.

I bought two pair of supposed “premium” 5-star 38×30 Wranglers.

Neither pair fits. Both are too big and too long.

The too-big thing I can understand. I have been treadmill’ing regularly and it’s possible I’ve been slimming down enough that my jeans are fitting looser.

The too-long thing I don’t understand at all. I have not shrunk.

I know what you’re thinking..

Why don’t you just try on clothes in the store before buying them?

I can’t stand doing that. Correction: I don’t mind trying on clothes. What I do mind is trying to find someone to unlock the fucking door to the changing room. And of course, no one is ever around.

Sucks.

So anyway I’ll be returning the jeans I bought tomorrow and see if I can find some schmuck to open the changing room door.. because I basically have no choice since I have to just to make sure jeans fucking fit right.

Bleah.
