These Angie pick BR trousers arrived earlier this week and I wore them for the first time yesterday (and loved them). After work, I took DS to a Halloween Open House at the retirement community where DH works. Returning to the car after dark, I tripped on a roll of wire mesh on the asphalt parking lot and fell (very embarrassing). My right knee took the brunt of the fall, was bleeding, and is pretty swollen and tender. But the happy news is THE NEW TROUSERS DIDN'T RIP! I am seriously impressed, and pleased. Hey, I've got my priorities--my body is sore but my cute pants are intact.
