FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Fort Worth, Texas, pants manufacturer Williamson-Dickie has announced plans for a line of jeans designed to prevent rear-end exposure.
The company said it will drop the waistband on its Dickies work jeans by a few inches and add extra room in the seat of the pants, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Tuesday.
"When you wear a jean and the waist doesn't hit you in the right place and you're carrying a few extra pounds, it can slip down," said Jon Ragsdale, Williamson-Dickie's vice president of marketing.
The announcement has been welcomed by many forced to bend over in their jobs, including plumbers, a profession notorious for exposure problems.
"We bend over a lot, so I guess people happen to notice it a lot more with us," said plumber Roy Wagner, of White Settlement, Ind. "It's a waist issue."
Ragsdale said the issue does not create much discussion at the company.
"We don't talk about that too much anymore here," Ragsdale said. However, he said: "If there's anything we can do to beautify America, we're in favor of doing it."
Winning the war against plumber's crack. Nice.
Say no to crack.
This headline is just so wrong.
So much for the "candle holder".
How can that be?
Adding some room to the seat of the pants is a good idea, but dropping the waistband a few inches?
