I get all my clothes at thrift stores. Mostly jeans and Tees. [View all]

With the Pandemic, I can't try on the jeans to see if they fit. A 12 can be any leg length, any waist width, etc.

So I've measured my existing jeans (leg length, inner seam, waist) and wrote down the numbers on an index card. Bringing the card and a tape measure with me to shop, I have successfully found perfect "new" used jeans. I measure each prospect's parts and either put it back or I buy it.
