King & Tall No Longer
January 5th, 2007
I got a pleasant surprise when I went in to get measured for new slacks today: I lost more inches than I had thought. I used to have to get 100 cm trousers, and though they have been fairly loose for some time now, I thought I would only go down to 97’s. But when I got measured at the store, I was told to try some 94’s–which meant I had to go down two floors, as their oversized department (97 cm and higher, in Japan) didn’t have any. I was even worried that the 94’s would be too tight, but they weren’t. Huh. Go figure.
