Now, that was exactly what I *DIDN'T* mean!  As I mentioned in part of the
text you quoted.  I mean, gosh, I am only 135lb, 5'10", I am not "spreading
a little"!

What I meant was, a few years ago, they started making these designer jeans
so that they are just simply *tighter*.  I don't mean around the waist, or
anything; I mean that seam that goes around the line of bilateral symmetry
is shorter in length than it used to be.

Are people so oblivious to their clothing that they ignore these things?
