Clothing Question Inflate your Upload Space

Is it normal to fold your jeans into themselves when they are too long to make the legs straight?

Tired of ads?

Fold them so the extra material is on the inside or the outside?

On the outside is normal, though not necessarily fashionable. On the inside is not normal, but I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't do it.

I ordered a 33x32 online because my cargo pants are 33x32 and they fit fine. But the jeans ended up being a bit too big.

Even the waist is a bit too big. Next time Im going to try 32x28, or maybe 32x30. Or maybe I should go to the store and actually try them on?

edit: my mom said she knows how to shrink jeans in the wash, so I'll see how they fit after she works her magic on them.

You claimed to be a small guy. Small guys don't have 32-33 waists.

Remember, Im an 18 year old American, I wear somewhat baggy clothing. I'll find a measuring tape and figure out how big around I am to put your mind at ease. That will have to wait until tomorrow though.

Wash the jeans in hot water. Put them in a dryer under high heat. Repeat. Probably the waist will shrink more than the inseam, at least it always seems to work that way for me.

You could buy an anti-pre-shrunk wash which would de-pre-shrunk the jean in order to allow your mom to shrink it as much as necessary.

33 waist at 18 is not skinny, you'd be a borderline porker in the UK.

And no ammount of breathing in with a tape measure around your bloated stomach is going to change that!

So, what would a 30'' waist and 35' inside leg be classed as?

And does anybody know where I could find a shop that sold trousers with those measurements, 'cos I haven't got a clue where to look

I guess that's one up side to having really awful food. Also that explains why soccer is the dominate sport there. No one is big enough to play a real game of football.

Needle and thread is completely out of the question I take it? Well yes of course. Hmm. Try tieing a knot in each pant leg.

Kind of normal in the 50's, now it's normal for baggy clothed white wannabe gangstas.
