Failure of Pants

February was rough, but I'll rant about that a little later. The good news is, March is starting off great, sprinting out of the gate with a quick pants-related win. So i bought these Kühl pants over Christmas and wore them twice. The third time i wore them was at dinner with friends in Beijing. From normal wear and tear of three wearings, they fell apart, at the ass. Let the jokes begin.

I wrote the following letter to Kühl on January 24th.

Hello,

I bought a pair of Kühl’s at the Boulder REI store on Dec 30^th, and wore them three times. Not sure what model they were, it says “Crag Series” on the inside. I never had an opportunity to wash them, because upon the third wearing, they literally fell apart at the butt. While at dinner, my girlfriend pointed out to me a small hole in the back. I figured i’d just have them fixed the next day. It hadn’t been caught on anything, and i wasn’t doing anything active that evening. By the end of the night, there were two massive holes. Never before have i seen such a catastrophic failure of PANTS. They seemed to be just disintegrating. The worst thing is, i really like them. I got all kinds of compliments about them, etc.

Anyway, this could be easily resolved if i were living in the states, but i reside in Beijing. Shipping these pants anywhere outside of China will easily cost $20, and the funny thing is it says they are Made in China. How do you suggest we handle this?

Etc. Etc.

So they totally hooked me up with a brand new pair, and they arrived today, March 1st. Everything's coming up Milhouse!

Keep this up, and we're gonna get along just fine, March.
