Wish lists

[redbird]

I've realized, again, that what I want doesn't fit conveniently on a wish list. Part of it is things that are either too big--it would be nice for me and cattitude to have a house with a garden. Other things aren't material and/or buyable: I would like to live closer to adrian_turtle and Q, but that's not something that anyone can go out and get me. And some could be bought, if I knew who sold them: I want jeans, and warm fall-to-winter-weight pants, in my size with decent pockets and in colors I like. (Dark blue and black are certainly acceptable.) If there's a way to look on the Web and find out how big the pockets of a mail-order garment are, I haven't found it, and wandering through stores this season has been mostly an exercise in disappointment.

Fortunately, I don't think many people feel the need to buy me gifts.

Just to complicate things, these are last year's style. But I believe they're similar to this fall's SOlid Modern pants (At least, I have a pair of the Pattern Modern Pants, and the fit is similar.) Oddly, the price now listed is a good bit lower than when I bought mine - wonder if this means they're going to stop making them?

In mine, the pockets are about 5" wide, hang 8.5" from the waistband, and have more slanted openings than the current style. But that's in a size 4, and I don't know whether pocket size would vary with pant size. Lands' End is pretty good about having all the dimensions on file, so if you wear a different size you might want to call them.
