Even your BELT can be tactical

Post by avriette »

This belongs either here or in offtopic. So if some one wants to NINJAMOVE it, whatever.

So, I work at a place where I wear jeans and a polo. Sometimes slacks and a polo. I also wear an undershirt because I sweat like hell because I'm always running around moving stuff and, well, because I'm a sweaty guy. But this lame thing kind of happens. When I sit down in my chair (whether it's the Subaru chair or my office chair – a "Leap"), it causes my polo (or button-up if I happen to be buttonfaggy that day) to get pulled up vertically out of my pants. Now, this is not such a big deal because I wear an undershirt. I also wear a belt on my pants. Since my undershirt is tucked in, and my polo/buttonup was tucked in, when I get up, I wind up shoving my hands down the ass-side of my pants to get my shirt (the outside shirt) tucked back in to the back side of my pants.

Down the hallway, on my way to a meeting, in the elevator, etc. It feels so undignified Me, a pwofessiownaw IT wokka type, wif muh hands in muh pants, twying to wook PWOFESSIONAW.

So, the problem is, the polo and the chair has frictions and they pull the shirt from my pants. (aerons do this but to a lesser extent)

Have I in fact found the solution to this problem though?

It looks so badass that even Conan would wear one with.. well, when he had to wear his polo barbarian days (there is no model that comes pre-bloodied). My guess is that suspenders fix this problem, but [iI just got rid of the beard and long hair.[/i]

Boy, this is a lot of words about pants and wardrobe. Anyone used one of these or sovled my "asspants flashdance" problem?

Well, when I asked around the office I got the "Ah, the Picard maneuver" response, so I figured there was something out there, as enough people had noticedl I bet it has little clips for grenades and extra mags.

Perhaps I will buy one, tacticool my pants, and write a review for dcawd :D

you could buy shirt stays for a $1.99, they are uncomfortable as hell and you'll get the occasional "nut slap" when one comes loose, but at least your shirt will stay tucked.

my part-time solution is to wear short-sleeved dress(ish) shirts that don't need to be tucked in.
