It ain’t pretty but it’ll hold.
Well done
I was in JROTC in High School, and a true Command Sergent Major shamed my for not knowing how to hem my pants. I still never learned how, but he ripped me a new one.
No point in shaming others for not having a skill. If your sergeant didn’t like it they ought to have sat you down with a needle and thread and trained you themselves.
He was a good man, from an era where you broke other guy’s balls to let them know you liked them.
It wasn’t malicious.
Ah, I’m sorry if it seemed like I assumed that. I’m sure he’d have happily taught you these things if his job allowed the time for it.
Oh, he did, but I was a stupid 15 year old male, and immediately forgot it. My mind was on chasing girls. 😉
Yeah, my mind skipped the J and went straight to ROTC. WHY IS THIS SERGEANT NOT TEACHING A GROWN ADULT HOW TO FIX HIS UNIFORM oh right
Had you known how to sew, you could have mended that rip!
I’ve got a pair I need to do that with. Both those back off-center loops are used far too often to hike up my pants, and both are broken on my oldest but still serviceable pair.
it’s amazing how I could immediately identify which loops you are referring to and have repaired a few of my own for similar reasons.
Hiking these up is what did this as well. Losing some weight finally maybe.
Not dull. Rock on dude
Euripedes?
Who else woulda ripped 'em?
Good for you!
I bought a roll of nylon thread that’s so strong I can’t rip it with my hands. Been using it to mend so many cheap seams and am always so proud of myself.
