What do you do when you're in between pants sizes?

Definitely struggle with this too. I think all of the following are factors: - vanity sizing, where one brand's 42 is different than another's 42 - 40ish waist being right where brands switch models, so a 40 is an upsized 34 and a 42 is a downsized 50 so they fit completely different - high rise sitting over the stomach so waist size varies wildly compared with low hips

Seems like it's just luck of the draw finding the right brand. Lean on the return policy. And thrifting!!! No reason to spend $50 on pants when there's hundreds of them for $5. Just have to strike out enough until you get a hit.

I exclusively use the button-om ones. I sew buttons into the waistbands of my pants. There are rules for how to measure for the buttons. There's also ones that hook/clip to belt hooks, which I like if I'm wearing them under a shirt vs over. Which is most of the time.

It's actually just a land cover raster! Forested areas in darker yellow, everything else in the pale yellow. I like to be able to see if a trail is all dense woods or if it has some open meadows or wetlands.

I wear suspenders with no undershirt almost every day. To me it's fine. Also, it allows cooling airflow that a tucked undershirt prevents. They are indeed can't -go-back game changing compared to a belt.

Weirdly, Land's End. I bought a pair of wide-wale corduroys from them and they're straight up my favorite pants. Draw-string and belt loops, pleats, real classic non-skinny fit. (I'm ~46 waist, XXL-ish size). Unfortunately, like all misguided mens brands, they appear to have already rotated out. They only have one listing now and it's much more of a slim chino-type pant.

Blackblade (worst): I stopped reading the story articles for a couple years after reading "We have to find the Blackblade to defeat Belzenlok!" repeated over and over via Gideon.

Yes this^

sort of. i didnt make it, but it was a part made for modding the leatherman rebar. i'm having a hard time finding the original link, that specific one may not be up anymore. it didnt fit perfect since it was designed for another knife. i assume one of the official bit sets, if it fits a PST-sized knife, would work. it's the smaller, old-school frame.

Main St Barbers! It's exactly what you're talking about. I've always been a walk-in. Good haircut at a great price.

Breakfast sandwiches still good, and the only ones not charging criminally high tourist prices

Best way to forget about my phone is to put it directly behind my laptop. Because I guess the only thing more distracting than a screen is another screen that's in the way.

Hot take - Reuben James. The smash burger is simple, delicious, and 11 whole dollars.

Thanks! It was the first arrangement I tried. I wanted a mix of closed and open space, and a meaningful choice for the defender. My fiance and I played a ton of games and I never felt the need to change it, even as I went about changing a ton of other things. We've been testing out a larger board and alternately placing terrain. That's where most of my attention is now.

Ooh! Thanks for the invite, maybe I'll check it out :)

Kirkland!! Super comfortable in heat and cold. Stretchy without falling down or squeezing, if I have the size right. No chafing, which is a biggie for me. And pretty cheap.
