Of course I'll have to lose about 10 pounds first.

5. I'm 6'1"

Will have to lose about 10 (or more?) pounds to return to my normal svelte self. :blush:

But I'm telling my wife that I read on the internets that it was OK. JenniferZ said so.

6. 6'1" is tall enough. And if you're slim after that

10-pound loss, you would look nice in pleated pants. :) Make sure the pleats do not spread out when you're standing. If they do, you need a bigger waist size. They should be for comfort when sitting down rather than needing the extra room all the time.

My husband is shorter and pretty muscular and I don't like pleated pants on him. But he doesn't listen to me. *sigh*
