While we're at it--

Dear designers-

Enough with the loose/relaxed/wide fitting pants and shirts. Contrary to your apparent beliefs, not all of us are obese and can benefit from an extra 12 square yards of fabric in our pants. All I want is pants that aren't baggy, shirts that are nicely fitted and possibly some jeans that don't make me look like a tool. I am about 6 ft tall and 150 pounds, and trying to find decent new clothing that does not make me look like an absolute idiot has become a neverending and seemingly fruitless quest. Dress shirts are the absolute worst--perhaps you might find some nice regular cut pants, but then a button up shirt? Fuck that, they all look like a king size bed sheets loosely sewn together. If this continues I will be tempted to form my own clothing company for normal to skinny people.

Please don't make low rise go away. I finally found jeans I could wear at a comfortable height (i.e. not like Fred from I Love Lucy) that didn't leave the crotch between my knees.

yup yup. I get clautrophobic if my pants waist is too high - and by that I mean above my butcrack. I've been wearing my pants low my entire adult life. It's nice to finally not trip over the crotch.

All I ask for is pockets. Large pockets. Is that so difficult to ask? I have three pairs of jeans that I can fit 2L bottles in the front pockets. I can't find pants like that any more.

I'm a technician. I NEED to carry copious amounts of random shit around with me...

1. Yes, some of us are taller than we are wide. Please, make man-pants with the first number smaller than the second. 34-29... I have to go to Canada.

2. I have some UPC pants and they fit awesome ... because they're custom, and I've never had my ass groped more. So go... buy.

Well, not completely gone... just some of it. I have a really short waist 'cause of my hourglass shape. Low-rise jeans only go halfway up my hips and don't cover my ass. Blecch. I couldn't even wear them when I was in good shape.

I didn't even know they made low-rise jeans for guys. I figured most men's jeans pretty much sat on the hips anyway. Interesting.

Dear whomever the fuck we're sending off these magical request letters to,

I too would like custom fitted clothes for dirt-cheap prices. Im tired of having to pay more or shop around to find things that fit me!

Oh and could you talk to the makers of Food? Just make it so I can throw random whatnots into a pot, put a flame under it, and have something delicious for my face come out of it?

Thank You!

Hahahahaha.

I'm tired of speaking out loud and i humbly request that each and every one of you learn the nuances of Siv Eyebrow, in which there are 23627 words for ham sandwich.

...but, regrettably, only four words left for the rest of the entire language.

Zing!

I mean, "ham sandwich!"

Dear Seamstria, Goddess of Clothing -

Please stop designing clothes for me - I've plenty of clothes. Make some for people that aren't average-sized.

Thanks.

Dear Clothesgoblins,
If Max doesn't want your stuff I'd be glad to take it off your hands, for I too am built like a mannequin--but I'm twice as hard!
