Shopping for jeans (ii)
After the zipper incident I was naturally more cautious while buying my jeans. But as time went by I became complacent until rudely awoken one day.
This time the venue was the Mega-Mart. This one was at JP Nagar and was newly opened. It had that irritating property of all newly opened clothing stores, an over courteous salesman. This guy kept following me around advicing me on various things. On that day I really did not like what I found in the store, but because of the persistent salesman I felt compelled to buy something. Finally I found a pair that met my requirements and I went in the trial room and found it ok. I bought that pair.
A couple of days later I wore that pair to office. At home they seemed pretty fine, no probs. But as the day progressed I realised that there was something that was not right. Everytime I looked at the mirror I tended to tug at them a bit to bring them to my comfort waist level. First I thought maybe I had put on some weight and made a note to spend some more time on the treadmill. But that was not it.. something was definitely wrong with them.
Later at home I made a more careful examination of the jeans' label. There in small print was mentioned quite clearly "32", straight-leg, zip-fly, low-waist". Needless to say, I have worn this pair only when there is nothing else available. And whenever I have done that I do not tuck in my shirt. I truly sympathised with P and his button-fly jeans.
So next time you see others wearing a similar pair, do sympathise with them, for they might be wearing them not by choice.
