I am going to rant. I went to a national department store to buy button
down shirts, which I really needed. A year ago, I'd bought several
shirts. They were driving me nuts because only one of the shirts had a
pocket.
I went through all of the shirts for sale in my size. Not a single shirt
had a pocket. Who decreed that men's shirts no longer have pockets?
Then the matter of shoes. I need another pair of gym shoes/running shoes
that fit. I wear them as my regular walking shoe. I have a weird shoe
size, very long and very narrow.
We have the men's shoe comspiracy in which manufacturers inflate the
shoe size and ignore the shoe size standard.
I saw a large number of shoes offered in my nominal size, so I knew it
was pointless to try them on. They'd be too small.
I bought a pair that was nominally a half size larger. It was too
short.
The pair I bought that was 2 1/2 sizes larger than my nominal shoe size
wasn't too short.
This is more evidence that the world has moved on from me and I
literally do not fit in. I should just walk to the horizon and fall off
the edge.
