Holidays in the sun

I'm rather cheered by the thought of purchasing new trousers.

This is somewhat disturbing.

I'm quite looking foward to buying new trousers. Am thinking about heading down to marcrus to see if I can find combats that don't fall apart in two weeks or less.

Combats that won't fall apart. Especially the German kit. Bargain.

Thank you. I needed some new office wear. That and TSHIRTHELL.COM (http://www.tshirthell.com/) should do it.

Are they steam-powered mecha-trousers?

I fear not. The thought of a high-pressure boiler near one's gonads fills a chap with trepidation. Though perhaps there's another use for asbestos grundies.

Ooh, those gyroscopic monorail engines are cool!

There's a big roll of asbestos fabric here. If we can find a consumable sewing machine, then we really ought to make Proper Usenet Y Fronts, just as Art.

Then frame them. Well sealed.

have you been watching Wallace and Gromit again? :)

Any old trousers ? Or Very Special trousers ?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

New ones that would not be mistaken for Julian Cope's cast-offs.

It'll be polo shirts next, mark my words.

I do have an black Anthrax polo shirt if you want to wear it.
;P

I could pick you up some of these Carhartt Indestructibles in California, if that would help.

My best recent clothes purchase was the Carhartt canvas jacket I bought at Rasenicks (http://www.rasenicks.com/Carhartt.htm) (J131 on that page) in Chicago last year. It does appear to be indestructible and cosy to boot.

Black moleskin and the sewing machine. The Redcot corporate trousers are calling to you.

Has anyone got a source for '68 pattern UK Winter weight combats ? My last pair are getting aged, and the double-layer stuff is just teh job for this weather.

I dunno...anytime I get to go shopping for any item of clothes I get giddy.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

You're one of them girly-things. Surely that's genetic? :p

[quercus.livejournal.com]

Girliness is purely genetic ? 8-P

It's only disturbing when the thought of purchasing new corduroy trousers is cheering.

Don't panic...it happened to Ross too - he now actually owns trousers other than combat trousers. He now has a dressy pair of Lip Service combat trousers, Lip Service pinstripe trousers and a rather fetching pair of 60's styled trousers. All of this after he married me while wearing his best combats at the time. :-)
