Heh. New is exactly what I'm trying to avoid, bein' retired, cheap and
all. :-)

Maybe (in addition to the Gosport) I need to check the classifieds around
D.C., where some senior guys retire. Better chance of finding my size.

Hey, thanks to all for some excellent suggestions.

Kept one set of wash khakis, two sets of whites (Summer white and
choker) and a set of blues...and haven't been able to fit in any of 'em
since about 9 months after retiring. Sux when you have to do PT on your
time instead of your employers:-)

create a very elastic price curve compared to some other region, I would
think.


Yes, but... maybe not so much in that particular size. I don't
remember getting commissioned with too many guys wearing size 38-40
pants
