• There's a new fashion in baggier crotches? How don't I know about this!?! All this time spent fine-tuning my braces to *raise *my crotch and I should've been going the other way...

    My Dickies work trousers (I think they're called redhawks or something totally insensitive to the Native American community) are great and very durable. £15 on ebay with 9 pockets (that's less than £2 per pocket!), a choice of leg lengths and reinforced knees. I've been told on several occasions that they're slimming and in my day Dickies was kind of a cool brand.

    The bad news is that I wear them every day, so if you bought a pair everyone would think you're trying to look like me.
