That's right, troops.... yours truly is the proud owner of a spanking new pair of black pants. My very special friend, Grue, informed me of this shop's existence some weeks back, and I finally got a chance to nip down there for a looksee... and boy do I regret not knowing about this shop years ago... as the nice girl behind the counter so eloquently put it; "We've only been here for 20 years".
I'll snap a pic at first given opportunity, and update this post with it. They are niiifty. I've been on the lookout for baggy black pants for a while, and just never found any that were 1) nice and 2) fit me. Two very difficult criteria to combine apparently. McKorman, as the shop is named, consists mostly of street wear, and when I visited Grue this weekend (will post about that in a moment), I saw his pants, and thought they were pretty damn cool. Since he's almost the same size as me, I figured they'd have my size there... and did they ever. They had all the way up to 49 inches waist.. which is pretty damn huge. Anyway, I yanked a pair, tried them on, and immediately bought them (did put on my regular shorts first tho). The nice girl and I had a little chat, which again is uncommon for me. But I was just over the top thrilled at finally finding a cool shop that had pants I could use. And they had a lot of other cool clothing in there. I need a hoodie as well, and a few more pairs of pants. Eventually. Even the shopping bag was nice. Will up a pic of that as well. It's made of some fabric, and has a cool logo on it. Really nice. I went out of there with a big smile on my face. I even felt like giving the girl there a hug, but figured that'd be a bit too much. Oh well.. another time perhaps :) Updated with images, click below to view
