So today I bought online pair of jeans for the princely sum of £120. probably the most expensive trousers I have ever bought but I plead the rip I didn’t know about in my old trousers, which I have been walking around in for a few days. Wearing the same clothes for three days in a row isn’t something ladies know much about – much like the work clothes that don’t get washed for a month but that’s how you know they are work clothes, they stand up by themselves.
I was thinking if I would rather live in togas but they are for warm countries; and the worsted thick clothes of Saxon peasants have a certain abrasive quality that doesn’t go with the feminised modern man who uses a loofah in the bathroom. I do like the top part of Elizabethan fashion but the whole tights issue makes me glad they don’t market them anymore. A bit like Georgian wigs and hair gels from the forties though I do like hats.
I guess jeans will do but they are so expensive to get a pair that just wear out and not tear in places you don’t want eyes to go without you knowing it. I guess I will just have to save up or stop wearing trousers, but men don’t have anywhere to go because we can’t wear dresses the days we feel we don’t want to wear trousers.
I may just have to wash the overalls more often.
