It's a well-known fact that one of the (myriad) advantages of kilts over pants is that they lack an inseam. Usually this is cited because there's no inseam to chafe and constrict, but there's another advantage.

Kilts can't blow their inseam.

I now have two pair of pants that are ripped in an unfortunate area. I normally get relaxed fit pants, too, so I'm guessing it's partially due to the age of the trousers in question.

The other pair also got a large rip on the backside while working in the forge, do I darned them to use in the shop. But how many shop pants do I really need?

My solution is simple! Every time I loose a pair of pants, I get a kilt to replace it.

Occam's Razor is a wonderful thing :mrgreen:
