After I last mentioned trousers, who knew Iād return to the subject so quickly? Certainly not I.
But then, who knew thereād be so many goings-on in such a short space of time?
First, an upsetting development regarding my Hiut jeans. A sort of hole has opened up around what might be called the āseat of the pantsā area. This could be used as evidence for some cojones-based flattery, but the more pedestrian story is that I ride a bicycle quite a lot.
There is this on the Hiut Denim Co website:
We stand by what we make. And keep standing by it even when things go wrong. Thatās why we offer a free repairs policy for life on our jeans.
Brilliant! But:
We canāt offer this service on the Tech Jean as it canāt be darned liked a pair of jeans can.
My jeans are a Tech Jean. Oh well, fair enough I suppose. Now, some bloggers would probably try to argue about semantics ā what is a pair of jeans? ā thereās the word ājeanā in āTech Jeanā, right? ā but that wouldnāt really befit my brand. If it canāt be darned, it canāt be darned. (Maybe the word ātechā is an allusion to contemporary consumer electronic products, which are difficult to repair. Ooh.)
The other thing: Harpers BAZAAR reports:
Meghan Markleās influence is being felt in full force by one Welsh company, who have skyrocketed to fame thanks to the Suits star.
Markle wore a pair of Hiut denim jeans during her official visit to Cardiff and, according to the companyās co-founder, the brand has not been the same ever since.
The only possible explanation is that this blog has an acolyte embedded deep within the palace. Hello, acolyte! Whatās more, I think it adds to the growing body of evidence that the royal family is irrelevant, and blogging is much more relevant. The famous actorās with-fiancĆ©e trip to Cardiff was back in January, months before I wrote anything, but I donāt really understand what difference that makes.
