Replacing the trousers

**Nick** · 26th February 06, 02:25 PM

It's a well-known fact that one of the (myriad) advantages of kilts over pants is that they lack an inseam. Usually this is cited because there's no inseam to chafe and constrict, but there's another advantage.

Kilts can't blow their inseam.

I now have two pair of pants that are ripped in an unfortunate area. I normally get relaxed fit pants, too, so I'm guessing it's partially due to the age of the trousers in question.

The other pair also got a large rip on the backside while working in the forge, do I darned them to use in the shop. But how many shop pants do I really need?

My solution is simple! Every time I loose a pair of pants, I get a kilt to replace it.

Hey I like that idea. I am going to become a forger too, because I know the price of kilts, and can't just go out and buy one. And I know you are a college student with "no Money" so therefore forgers must make lots of money, and can buy lots of kilts!

And you better buy them now before you get married. Seems after you do the money goes elsewhere! haha

DALE.

I'm all for forgeing ahead with new Kilts.

Just don't use forged money.

Glad that you are moving ahead and replacing those dreaded trousers with Kilts.

FWIW I was talking to a 20 something about how much he spends for his jeans. He told me that he feels he gets a bargain if they are between $175-$200. Needless to say he does not shop around and only goes for what is the latest "fashion inequity".
