women's pants rant

[GLC1968]

I got two skorts and a pair of shorts from them last summer. By the end, the undershorts of the skorts were too tight and migrated up. Okay, fine, I can live with that, since the average person is not a cyclist and does not have cyclist's thighs. I've never bought full-length pants from them.
I have a similar complaint about their tops, though. Cute, really, but I must be between sizes or something. They're tight in the shoulders (expected, since I have relatively broad shoulders) but loose everywhere else, and the sleeves are usually a bit too short. The length of the body is fine, for the most part, so maybe I just like sleeves longer than the average person...not that it matters for me because I roll them up. The shoulders on the long-sleeve shirts I got for Christmas are fine, though. Weird.

GLC: Are you just rough on your jeans? I haven't had a problem with Gap's jeans thus far, save a couple of pairs that are slightly too long and therefore have chewed-up cuffs...

I am tough on my jeans. Part of the problem is that my legs are so short that the bottoms fray (like you mentioned). I also have big thighs but narrow spaced hips, so there is always a LOT of rubbing on the inner thigh and very few pants can survive it for long. And lastly, there is the farm. Only a select few pair of my jeans get to avoid going out back and once they do, they are pretty much toast.

Ah, okay. The farm would do it!
I have worn holes in the inner thigh of at least one pair of Old Navy jeans, but my weight has fluctuated enough over the past few years that I haven't had any of my other jeans long enough to do that. Then there's the pair that had potassium perchlorate spilled on it. It has several holes down one leg now...
