Bad enough that odd-numbered waists above 33 are impossible to find with jeans, but underwear uses ranges like 34-36 and 38-40! What's a 37 to do? (Hopefully, I'll never find out, but the day may be coming!)
Come back often for more funny math and geeky comics.
Think I got the answer (no size 35 waist) as I am in that range. For 20" waist next size 1" up is 5% growth. At 37" the growth is 2.7%. When we are in that range we would be buying new slacks twice as often if it were incremented by 1".
ReplyDeleteI don't know about buying slacks twice as often since my waist size hasn't changed much in the past 20 years. If I need new slacks, I might try two sizes on to see what fits -- which I do anyway because some brands/cuts just don't fit correctly.
ReplyDeleteProblem is that should I gain weight (more a likelihood than losing a full size or two), and my pants started getting uncomfortable, the first option open to my will be a waistband that's practically sliding off of me. And I'm not one of those, Hey my underwear is showing, so what? Nope, not me. I'll start exercising before I move up another 2 sizes!
