This much is true I suppose. It is a tough call, and well, it would help stave off the jonesing. Not too mention give me an idea of the overall product (hey if the casual is good, it can only get better, right?)... plus it gives me another garment to put into rotation.
Don't the casuals also have a perma-pleat something or another that makes them very low maintenance (even in the context of PV)?
