Hi there.
I need some guidance. My son is is 16 and hopes to enlist in a couple years.
I am strugglung to get him new trousers no 2. His current ones are 80/104/116.
His current pair are thin in the inside thigh. He is getting paranoid and embarrassed about it, im happy to buy new but i cannot find any anywhere!
Any help.or suggestions?
Thanks
If they’re wearing through then his squadron should replace for him.
I would agree, but i think hes too embarrassed to ask them, especially as he knows ive struggled to buy a replacement pair.
Respectfully, that’s something he’s going to need to find a way to get over. If he really does want to join up, then requesting his own exchanges from stores is something he will need to do.
Yes, i agree.
Thank you
The alternative, depending on the exact location is to get some material from a scrapped pair and see if a tailor can reseat them.
I’ve had to do this myself
Just rest assured @Jlswift that this isn’t your son’s doing. The quality of issued trousers was significantly reduced around a decade or so ago and we all wear through them now.
Blame the penny pinchers.
This. Mine are as well. I’ve just had to get a replacement pair for the same reason.
