Yes. I am ranting about pants. Apparently I wear a size of pants that simply doesn't exist: 28" slim. For whatever reason, anything under 32" slim (more often 32" regular) is essentially non-existant in stores. Now, I will admit that it is a rather small size, but I see plenty of other men that have similar size builds that have the same problem.
Now, the problem is essentially non-existant when it comes to jeans I will admit. Jeans are extremely easy to find in my size, hence why I wear them every day. But, slacks, khakis, dress pants, whatever you call them, I have a nearly impossible time to find any, let alone in a style (I like pleated, not flat) and especially not in a color I like. Essentially my choices for colors in pants are, khaki, navy blue, and black saying I can find them at all. Creme, white, and grey are, at least locally, impossible to get in my size.
I guess being smaller than average doesn't have the same focus as larger than average judging on the number of XXL shirts and 48" pants that I can find. I propose the creation of a new chain: Short and Skinny. Until then, I guess I'm stuck wearing jeans, while comfortable, are not as professional as I would care to show.
