Going to presume fewer

cos I don't have enough.

Icarus-Smicarus | 20 Mar '13, 10:31 | X | ^ This | Reply
- 1x work trousers
  
  2x jeans (good)
  1x house jeans - recently relegated from jeans (good) due to their increasingly worn state, and replaced
  
  Actually I think there's other potential house jeans in a cupboard that I can always break out. Might chuck them though. Don't need that many house jeans.

2 x work

- Count your trousers.
  
  Count your sons trousers. Your trousers - your son's trousers = x.
  
  If x is greater than zero you own more.

Gonna have to make a trip to the big smoke and drop $$$ on some tailored shit one of these days.

I probably own about 10 pairs of pants.

At present I am unsure of how many pairs of pants my friends own, but I will endeavour to find out.

Pisses me off buying clothes for work. I seem to go through shirts and put a hole in the elbow all the time with the way I lean on my desk. Need some new work shoes too, the sole is coming off. Crisis.

Mean trousers in my friendship group is 5.34

That's inclusive of trousers, jeans and technical legwear. At 7 pairs I am above the average; however, with just 3.pairs of non-formal trousers compared to the groupwide mean of 3.92 it's clear that being above the average is driven by my business attire.
