Stretch pantsfor longest use


Recommended Posts

I agree with the posters that argue scout uniforms are exceptionally (and unnecessarily) expensive. Since we are stuck with paying the prices for now, I'm always on the lookout for ways to make uniforms last as long as possible. Here's a suggestion for the pants: buy them long (unhemmed, if you get them new). Instead of hemming them, tack velcro strips along the inside of the pant leg. As the boy grows, simply velcro the leg farther down. Since legs generally grow faster than waists, this can add years to the life of a boy's pants.
