Adult Fabric

The other day I had a woman come in to the store. That isn’t strange but the first thing she said to me was “[do you have any hoodies without an empire waist] cuz they make my boobs look huge” (gestures with cupped hands).

As a male about 20 years younger than the woman I found this awkward but I slid by the comment and referred her to a selection of hoodies similar to the one she wanted.

She told me that she didn’t want fleece, but waffle knit or thermal hoodies. I told her that we didn’t have those without the tie around the middle, and showed her a different fleece hoody that was more like a t-shirt. She passionately and loudly proclaims that she is an adult and can’t wear clothes like that. The woman stormed off.

So, the next time you take your fleece out from the closet, consider your age. Are you too mature for that? Perhaps you should where something that looks like long underwear instead. That waffle-knit is much more mature. After all, the clothes don’t make the man, but they define his maturity.
