Clothing disasters...

On my first trip off IOE as a new hire, I squatted to check tire pressure and <riiiip> goes the seat of my pants. My tighty whiteys are blazing forth in glory.

With thirty minutes to go, I mooched one of those hotel sewing kits off the #1 and locked myself in the lav. I sewed frantically while people were boarding 12 inches away on the other side of the lav door.

Total success... except for the scrunched seam with black thread over blue in a hideous frankenstein pattern on my rear. Fortunately, my jacket tails were long enough to hide it.

I never fly without all those hotel freebies, like the sewing kit. Plus, I have a mini first aid kit and OTC drug store in my suitcase. Nothing like a nasty splinter, a cut, muscle spasms, congestion, etc to wreck a layover.

I recently broke my zipper mid trip. The zipper first got jammed, so I pulled it and it broke. While walking around with my fly down all day was somewhat unsettling, the extra ventilating breeze was surprisingly refreshing. I mean its no Gold Bond, but refreshing none the less.

Had something similar happen. 15 minutes before van time at 5:00 am, I tore the inseam to my pants from about 3 or so inches above the knee to about 3 above the ankle. I ran downstairs and got a sewing kit and did a crummy patch job. I didn't move out of the seat pretty much all day for fear I'd rip the patch job. I now fly with a spare pair of pants.

Two words:

Duct Tape.

It can hem pants, hold your fly closed, and even mend an unfortunate tear.
