Some younger but more older one.&nbsp;&nbsp;I taught my daughters to hitch their dress pants before they sit down.&nbsp;They do it almost all the time.&nbsp;&nbsp;One of my friends&nbsp;I sit next to at work&nbsp;actually "double hitches" her dress pants most of the time.&nbsp; Just before she sits, she pull the fabric at the thigh area&nbsp;up once&nbsp;and then quickly lets go and grabs the fabric just below the hitch and pulls up again.&nbsp; So there are two folds of fabric.&nbsp; Not sure why she does it twice. Maybe she want to make sure enough was pulled up.&nbsp; I have never asked her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tip-for-preventing-stretched-out-knees-in-pants#post-1894273 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 01:15:20 +0000 Bonnie 1894273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never heard this.

It is several years since last time I saw anyone doing it. But maybe I should start doing it again .... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tip-for-preventing-stretched-out-knees-in-pants#post-1894135 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 17:51:00 +0000 Anonymous 1894135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do it automatically now.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tip-for-preventing-stretched-out-knees-in-pants#post-1894123 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 16:54:10 +0000 Allison 1894123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tip-for-preventing-stretched-out-knees-in-pants#post-1893950 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 02:20:32 +0000 Allison 1893950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Torontogirl, My dad does this too but when I was younger, I used to wear holes in the knees of my all pants so my mother who also did this told me to start pulling them up.&nbsp;I thought I was the only woman who did this but I guess others do too.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tip-for-preventing-stretched-out-knees-in-pants#post-1893949 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 02:17:59 +0000 Angie 1893949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tip, thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tip-for-preventing-stretched-out-knees-in-pants#post-1893924 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 01:31:30 +0000 Stephanie 1893924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do the same thing when sitting down and sure most women do too!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tip-for-preventing-stretched-out-knees-in-pants#post-1893917 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 01:17:59 +0000 Helena 1893917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do the same - I always remember my dad doing that with his suit pants, and I asked him why, and have done it myself ever since! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tip-for-preventing-stretched-out-knees-in-pants#post-1893910 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 00:57:22 +0000 Allison 1893910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mother told me once that if you hitch up your pant legs several inches&nbsp;just before sitting down, it will prevent the knees from stretching out.&nbsp; Plus it will take tension off the legs so they will last longer and the pants don't winkle as much either. &nbsp;Ever since&nbsp;she told me this tip, I have made a habit to pull them up. Now it is just second nature.&nbsp; I notice&nbsp;that it is also more comfortable when sitting and my pants are never winkled or stretched out..&nbsp; Does everyone else do this when sitting? </p>
