(no subject)

On the one hand, I appreciate the fact that the pattern-and-fabric site I'm browsing has a decent section for patterns for men. The sheer number of sewing patterns for women's clothes at the majority of sites vs. the pathetically tiny number of patterns for men is always a little sad. (I tried looking for men's patterns at Joann once. Mostly what I found was cosplay patterns, followed by pajama patterns and the occasional bit of outerwear.)

On the other hand, there is something kinda disturbing about their one pattern for athletic tights/leggings specifically for men being called 'Mandex'.

(and I had to make a willpower roll not to yell WEAR A DANCE BELT when I saw the picture. these are workout tights, not a superhero costume; the model is wearing these... Mandex... in the manner in which they would be used on a daily basis, and so is under no obligation to wear anything other than standard men's exercise underwear.)
