Y'all made me some real lightweight slacks, uh, now I need about six pairs for summer wear. I want a coupla maybe three of the light brown, a kind of an almost powder color, like powder on a lady's face. I need about six pairs to wear around in the evening when I come in from work. I want em about a half an inch larger in the waist than they were before except I want two or three inches of stuff left back in there so I can take em up, I vary about ten or fifteen pounds a month, and I now the pockets when you sit down in a chair the knife and ya money comes out so I need at least another inch in the pockets.

Yeah.

Now another thing the crotch down where ya nuts hang is always a little too tight, so when you make em up give me an inch that I can let out there, because they cut me. It's like ridin' a wire fence. These are almost the best that I've had anywhere in the United States but uh when I gain a little weight they cut me under there so leave me uh you never do have much margin there but see if you can't leave me about a good inch from the where the zipper en-... (belches) ends uh round uh under my back of my bunghole so I can let it out there if I need to.
