Baffled


I'm confused because jeans, which I bought the other day, proved to be too long. This is strange because I always buy the same leg length (29 ins just in case you want to buy me a pair) and I measured them and they were exactly the length as advertised.
I had them shortened by 1.5 inches and now they fit much better. The only answer is that I'm shrinking, but 1.5 inches seems an awful lot or another answer could be that I've always bought my trousers too long. Hmmmm?

      Yes but I have such a problem getting the right colour.

    I know someone who used to work in a clothing factory and she said a tolerance of 1cm was allowed on both sides of every seam or length. This amounts to a discrepancy equivalent to a whole size in the finished garment, which would account or why sizing is so unreliable when buying clothes.

    It would be the platforms you used to wear...

    Yes, they're so hard to find in Ripon. I have to make do with Hunter wellies now.
