Why Do Men Do This?

Seriously, a company that tried to put sizes on the outside of women’s clothes would go out of business pretty fast.

(FYI-these are Jimmy’s jeans in the picture so don’t even think of making fun of the person wearing them...or I’ll boot you faster than a company who puts sizes on the outside of women’s jeans goes out of business...)

Kat,

Guys don’t care so much about pant sizes and 33 x 34 is spectacular for a guy.

Yours in Christ,

P.S. I feel so cool posting on your blog.

My guess is only men with a smaller waist than inseam do this. 33x34 is great for a guy!

This from the “petite” girl in the previous post who couldn’t handle an aspirin?  I’m pretty sure that your sizes on the outside of your clothes would be bragging.  Leave the worrying to us tubby folks!  Happy 4th!

I’m not sure what I think about this.

First time your butt made the internet, eh?  And it was all your wife’s doing.  Can that be the story we all take away?  Please?

i think jimmy has had those jeans since High school.  Do they do that anymore?  Love you Jimmy- lil sis!

OK, you are right. Only a guy would wear his jean size on the outside of his pants. I would be ripping tags faster than the lead car as NASCAR if they did that to my jeans. But I have also seen men brag about how big their beer belly was, so I guess they enjoy other people noticing these things. Hmmmm.

That is funny--I’ve always wondered about that too!

What is the point?  Surely it isn’t vanity about clothes sizes on the outside of clothes… like we couldn’t guess anyway.  My grandma can take one look at you, go to a garage sale a week later and pick something out that fits perfectly.  You many not like the style, but it will fit.  The average person could probably get it within a size or two.  Our bodies advertise our sizes from 10 yards away.  Who needs a tag to say what size you are?

That being the case, why hide tags and make us men unfold the pants to find the right size.  It is much more efficient to be able to look at a folded pair of pants on a shelf and to be able to instantly pick out the right size, or to be able to see the top of the pants peeking out of a laundry basket and know that it is my pair and not my younger brother’s pants.  Always hiding tags is pointless, vain and inefficient.  At least that’s the opinion of this particular member of the male species.

MamasBoy,

Please, play nice.

Yours in Christ,

You’re right.  That could use some softening.  I should probably have run that by my wife before posting.

Were sexy, and we know it.  No matter what those jeans say about us (40 x 34?).
