You ...Different cuts for different...ummmm...butts. You have to find the proper fit and then get used to it. Otherwise you look like you are wearing someone elses pants. That was me until I found Rugby and Milano. At 5'5'' and 130# I "swim" in the regular fit. Don't care to have my clothes look like they are "painted" on but don't need 3 yards of extra material flopping around either. Newman and McQueen were wearing Milanos before they were even invented. Again...find yer fit. Get used to it. <br />After years of sacks, I finally just bagged them.vic deltanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-55238138844024895082011-05-27T07:45:57.777-07:002011-05-27T07:45:57.777-07:00i'll be honest, they look really good on you!

Same beef with Rugby pants too. I bought a pair of Clark or Hudson fits and had them tapered down.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072326645504112724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-87811641352857262922011-05-26T22:55:26.263-07:002011-05-26T22:55:26.263-07:00The sack suit is most certainly not a fat man'...The sack suit is most certainly not a fat man's suit.

I'm but 29 and quite slim, but the lack of rise left precious little wiggle room for someone who is confined to a desk most of the day. These things ended up getting donated to the local shelter.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-27398519510112602332011-05-26T10:14:23.228-07:002011-05-26T10:14:23.228-07:00Dispose of them ASAP.Dispose of them ASAP.Puristnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-30714940594965624742011-05-26T10:07:41.106-07:002011-05-26T10:07:41.106-07:00What's the point of a short rise anyway?

Some waist suppression and overall shaping makes all silhouettes look elegant, and doesn't have to be constricting.Roger v.d.
