mtbc | Trousers at last

In mentioning seeking a reliable ongoing source of trousers that fit me, in contrast to whatever the season's design and tailoring currently happen to be, one idea I had mentioned was workwear. That tree bore me fruit first by way of the Dickies 874 work pant which come in a range of colors. Having been around for over fifty years they may not be fashionable but if people judge me harshly for that then they probably aren't worth my listening to anyway. At least the trouser legs are wide enough to fit easily over my calves rather than following a modern tapered cut; the pair I now have in hand fit just about right.

I confirmed the sizing by trying the same in another classic American item of workwear: Wrangler jeans in a regular cut which also fit adequately. Trousers are where I most notice a poor fit so it is great to finally have some confidence that I may have regained ongoing ability to easily obtain satisfactory pairs. Now I just have to find a small enough belt as the jeans are just a little loose which is good as I welcome a little room to gain a few pounds. It is convenient to be able to relax my dieting occasionally.
