janice6 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Speaking of obsessive, I got a wild hair and had to look this up. The measurement on pants from the crotch to the waistband is called the "Rise". It is different for each manufacturer and possibly for each style of pants and jeans. The waistband size is not a real measurement. It varies for every manufacturer of jeans (I didn't look up dress pants) So. Here's the "scoop" on waist band sizes: (I KNEW IT!!!!) https://www.ties.com/blog/pants-size-comparison 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work a job where I occasionally get to see what happens to ordinary things when they get dropped from great heights. I once had a cordless drill, from 300', hit the asphalt about 20 yards away from me. (I wasn't watching it, but I heard it, and shrapnel was impressive. New underwear time.) It came apart in waaaay more pieces than it took to put it together. (I once dropped a bic pen from ~200'. I found it stuck in the asphalt, like an arrow. it didn't still write.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take issue with the lengths listed. 35" x 36" in one are perfect (with room for an inside the waistband holstered firearm. The next company, and they're too tight or too loose.

(And because I was the next guy going up, they made me pull up ~80lbs of these 12" wide x 10' long oil-absorbent environmental things, to stuff into every imaginable space, gap or crack where something might fall through. I appreciate their quick solution to a safety concern, but damn, make the guy that dropped the drill climb back up and pull it all up!) (the consequences of the rope slipping and me dropping 80lbs of punching-bags was probably much more dangerous than me dropping a screwdriver (i don't use drills up there)) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
