Of Sweats and Swear Words.
Mon May 30 2011

I've needed new sweats for a few years now. Yes, years. I've casually looked for them as I've shopped off and on over the years, but have never found what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for just basic sweat pants with pockets. Elastic waist, elastic at the bottom of the legs, the kind you see men wearing almost all the time, but I'm looking for women's. Being a woman, and having hips, mens sweats just don't work for me.

We looked at Sears, Target, Penneys, Walmart, Kohl's, Fred Meyers (a local chain). We looked in three Sporting Goods stores.

For #@*%s sakes, I'm not trying to make a fracking fashion statement! I want to $#@*ing exercise and sweat, not pick up guys! It seems, however, that unless you are a woman, single, under 30, and a size 8 or below, you can't find sweats. And what they offer for sale as sweats for women who meet those parameters, look more like something that should be worn by women standing on a corner in West Hollywood.

So, I came home and jumped onto the information highway, and of all places found a pair of Jerzee sweats on Amazon.com that were exactly what I've been looking for. I've ordered one pair, and when they come if they meet my expectations I may go back online and order a few more pairs so I don't go through this again the next time I need sweats.

Now I'm going to go back to Amazon.com to see if I can find the shoes Hubby has been looking for.

    I'm like you...I wear my sweats until I need new ones because my others are falling apart. I don't care, they are broken in and comfortable in addition to practical. I think the last pair I bought WERE men's because I couldn't find what I wanted. I also bought them at Dollar General because they were $8. Let me know if you like the ones from Amazon.

    They didn't have it a Freddy's?????

    I thought Freddy's had EVERYTHING!

    I love that store.

    We don't have that store.

    I need to move where they DO have that store!
