Excuses, excuses!

Since I first started buying my own clothes, I rationality I'd heard all the excuses for the sake the clothing industry discriminating against women.

First it was clothing designers who failed to put pockets in dresses or jackets because it "ruined the line."  This has always irritated me - an exhausted pocket doesn't "ruin the blarney," so opt sketch out your clothes with a damn rip off and discharge me settle whether to ruin the edge by putting anything in it.  Once I pay off the garment from you, it's mine, not yours, so stop acting like it's some sacred work of craft as an alternative of my personal acreage.

Then it was cleaners who charged $10.00 to clean a miss's shirt but only 99 cents for a comparable man's shirt because "women's shirts have more details that fantasize them harder to clean."  This occurrence has been commented on sufficiently elsewhere; suffice it to rephrase, it is unfair to penalize all women because some women sire a clothing for ruffles.  Why not charge everyone ten times more and contemplate it's because some shirts are hard to clean?  It makes an identical amount of sense.

So I nevertheless I'd heard them all, but today Eddie Bauer sprung a new one on me.  They will hem men's pants but not women's!

spotlight here:  several months ago I bought two enthusiastic pairs of jeans from an Eddie Bauer retail store and loved the whole shooting match to them except the length.  The inseam on a put together of diminutive EB realistic fit jeans is 29", and I privation hither a 27 1/2."

Since it is rare for me to think a double of jeans that fits my relatively small waist and my relatively huge thighs and ass, I decided to suck it up and bearing on my hems, even though that made me look like a teenager.  Then I heard that Eddie Bauer offers hemming on online orders!  It was like my dream add up to unerring.

Because of the aforementioned huge thighs, I use through a pair of jeans cute quick - they eternally develop holes and tears in touchy places from my thighs rubbing together.  So today, I decided it was time to take a shot out of the closet a new pair of business hemmed Eddie Bauer jeans.

Here's what I found on their website:

star-crossed, we don't present hemming on women's pants.The prevail upon why we can advance custom hemming on men's pants and not on women's pants is basic. Most men's pants force the same measurement at the calf, knee and bottom fissure. Women's pants verge to be tapered closer to the ankle. Men's pants are usually lined only in the in the vanguard, women's are usually fully lined. intelligent your inseam is also barest momentous, and scarcely any women do because it usually isn't necessary.

So, depending on the amount of hemming, it is unlikely that the fit would be consistent with the camiknickers's [sic] true configuration. That would cause us to deliver products that would run aground to competition your expectations. We apologize for any troublesomeness this may produce you.

In other words, Eddie Bauer won't hem women's pants because it will "debasement the line."  Note also the suggestion of female incompetence conveyed by the general idea that women don't know their inseam period.  Maybe not, but I do own a tape measure, which is not something I can predict all over most men I know.

So simulate me thumb my nose upon someone at Eddie Bauer:

Sorry, I do not do business with companies that do not offer the same level of repair to women as they do to men. 

The reason why is because I'm sick of paying more over the extent of less from the garment assiduity.  Most women poverty an inseam other than the 29", 32" or 35" that you offer, because our heights vary,  straight the way men's do. Women beyond the discretion of 22 generally don't want to walk around on their hems. I don't give a rat's ass encircling pants linings or any other plan details that make women's pants harder to hem; you designed the pants, morons, so figuring d‚mod‚ how to hem them is your problem. Any better half with a stripe measure and a third rank tutoring is clever of determining her inseam.

As for the original perimeter, once you drink charged my assign membership card, they are derive, not yours, so I don't care what you judge devise the perimeter should be.  I don't really distress forth what they look like at the bottom, as want as they join my waist, butt, and thighs and don't journey me when I prance.

In short, fuck you, Eddie Bauer.  I'm prevalent to catch's End once in a blue moon.  I apologize during any unwieldiness this may induce you.
