Holy hell, that look like you're going to have hell of a time buttoning your trouser up.
The trick is too only button off the first and last few. It's just like small gaiters then. Not that you Yanks know anything about gaiters
But I can't get over that goddamn volume.
Does your hair even go flat?
No.
(fear it might be too tight around my ankle)
From a purely practical point of view, it keeps shit (in every sense of the word) to get up your legs.
Technically, yes, but it's not supposed to be that tight. The buttons will be repositioned tomorrow, giving me a bit more space. Should be good. After all, none of these thing were factory-produced, so
small differences are excusable.
The buttons are bone, if anyone wonders.
