oh, yeah?  live and learn!

but that brings up a point i had been meaning to ask...

with nearly 100 posts ( i didn't count them all) about women's clothing, the 
simplicity of fit and lack thereof, i wondered about men's clothing?  do 
they have the same problems?

i grew up in a house of many sisters, and only one brother.  he and my 
father were ultra-conservative dressers:  a rack of duplicate shirts and a 
few duplicate pants.  there's enough clothes that every day, you have 
something clean!!!

so how difficult is it to fit men's clothing?  do jeans come in hard-to-fit 
sizes?  do shirts sizes mysteriously fit and not fit, depending on some 
designer's whim?

and why, if a lady comes to work in basicly the same suit-shirt combo, with 
maybe differnet colors (so you know she's not actually wearing the same 
garment for six days in a row, ick) is she somehow 'doing something wrong' 
and people will comment on it?  whereas many men (or maybe just the ones 
around me?) do that very thing and are considered very normal.
