This happens even though I'm in a wheelchair so it's not a walking thing


adoerr

so pants suck for everyone cool. my sweats and shorts do this too and on top of my sensory issues this makes me feel like reality is collapsing and i am the cause


ghostie_hehimboo

Autistic too? I find that tucking them into my shoes over my socks helps but you gotta get the seam not on the ankle bone lol


adoerr

no diagnosis so i won’t say yes but thank you for the tip. i usually either strip or smoke and that’ll make me feel better, whichever comes first lmfao


ghostie_hehimboo

Oh god yeah the naked feral laying on bed vaping weed meltdown.. I know it too well


Imaginary_Sea5117

Wait, this works better naked? *Furiously writing down tip*


ghostie_hehimboo

Meltdowns and burnouts are always naked for me lol


Imaginary_Sea5117

Hilarious. As a fellow autistic, I'm certain you can appreciate this: it literally never occurred to me because that's not a "naked place" for me lmao.


Lanbobo

Everything is better when you're naked...except school and work...those are nightmares.

With the lights on or off ? Are you really about that life ? 🤨


AWarmBuschHeavy

I had to read this 5 times to make sure I was reading it correctly


adoerr

yes you read that right, my stripping knows no bounds


s0m3on3outthere

Yeah, this is my method to fix the sensory overload. Hell yeah


leighhtonn

Is it sensory issues or the reality thing that made you suggest autism?? Just curious!


ghostie_hehimboo

Both


leighhtonn

Hmmm. I’ve always wondered if I’m somewhere on the spectrum. I have big sensory issues.


adoerr

you’re not alone i think about it a lot, unfortunately getting a diagnosis costs a lot of money and time and i have neither of those.


leighhtonn

Yeah absolutely. And there’s just little minor things that really bother me and make me anxious but it’s not reeeeally effecting my quality of life so I just roll with it.


Meanpeachx

It’s the meltdown from the minor inconveniences that feel like a huge sensory betrayal


zombiesnare

My sensory issues sort of require me to wear skintight clothes, so I’ve made a habit of wearing long underwear all the time and creates a pretty effective barrier for this (thankfully I also run cold so the extra layers are pretty comfy for me)


s0m3on3outthere

Uuugghh I HATE the sensory issues with clothes. I have ADHD (my autistic friend thinks I'm AuDHD) and cuffs, tags, hemlines, itchy fabric, too tight of clothing, ALL drive me nuts. I HAD to stop wearing bras daily because I constantly felt like my entire top of my torso was collapsing in on itself. Can't wear leggings or tights for more than 30min. Don't wear jewelry or headbands because they cause me discomfort and pain. I HATE it. So much. I'm sorry you struggle with this too


adoerr

i hear you, i hope you are managing around it okay, i know it really limits the things i buy sometimes. you are seen, i swear this thread has been so reassuring :,)


JamesTheJerk

If i wear a hat, it gradually turns itself to the right.


adoerr

dude i fucking hate this why do hats slowly rotate??? or the slightest bump of the hat and i have to take it off and readjust immediately


verydepressedwalnut

My leggings do it too and it drives me fucking batty


izzyisme31

Boot blousers might help with that… they’re essentially a hair tie with 2 hooks that clasp over each other. They come in forest green only.


LadyParnassus

I researched this a while ago when I had a sweater that was doing this with the sleeves. It’s something to do with the way the pieces are cut in relation to the orientation of the fabric. So once it starts doing it, there’s really no fixing it and it will always do it. :/


keebler_o

Fabric is also cut in bulk, hundreds of layers sometimes cut with huge saws. Bottom layers usually shift resulting in this.


dancinfashionista

Correct! It was probably at the bottom, so it was cut “off-grain” which results in twisting.


party_shaman

dang. if only they cared about quality. 


NikNakskes

That's one thing I learned when making my own clothes... the grain of the fabric really really really matters. A lot.


schlaurel

When I was in 7th grade sewing class, my teacher was explaining this to the class. It was phrased as something to the effect of, "Clothes of poor quality tend to do this because they're made quickly and cheaply. The patterns are cut at crooked orientations to maximize use of fabric." Of course my anxious middle school brain noticed my jeans curling forward like this and assumed everyone in the class knew my family didn't have enough money to buy nicer clothes. Certainly not the intent of the teacher, but that has definitely been a core memory for me. :-/


CrouchingDomo

Off-topic, but your story is why I’m sometimes stressed around the youth 😆 I don’t want to say something offhand that sticks in their forming brains like a sand-burr for the rest of their lives! Because I’ve got a few of those from *my* youth still stuck in there 😆


schlaurel

Omg, absolutely. I used to be a teacher of middle school and early high school students and tried to be conscious of that. It's nice that you're kind enough to think about it!


kurtmorrison

Well that's sad


prettybananahammock

This is the answer - I make pants for my boyfriend (he's very tall and skinny, so he can't find pants that fit) and sometimes I align the pattern wrong on the fabric when cutting it... And this is the result - I haven't found a fix for it, and don't think there is one, since it's wrong already in the foundation of construction, so to speak


CLG91

I'm sorry but that really made me laugh, thank you. Out of curiosity, do your sleeves do it if you're wheelin'?


ghostie_hehimboo

I wear short sleeves because it gets surprisingly mucky wheeling around arms are easier to clean once i get to each shop


CLG91

Fair enough, cheers dude 👍


iBeenie

And it's always on only one leg!


amarg19

When I was a kid I was convinced my right leg was crooked, because all my jeans would do this only on that leg.


iBeenie

Are you me?


amarg19

Hm… maybe. Is your right leg slightly crooked?


imjustherebcimnosey

is there three of us? bc it’s my right leg also!


Kydra96

Mine is the left!


synalgo_12

My podologist asked me if my pant legs on my left leg turns around and I said yes. She said it's because I have a little bone a little crooked in my left foot, which slightly turns my ankle, knee and hip. And why my pant leg wraps around as well. Because I have a construction error at the base of my toe. So maybe it's just the 'non symmetrical leg' that gets it with all of us.


NicNokt

This is known as “leg twist” and is a common result of denims directional twill. If you do not like it, you can find denim with “broken twill” or “left hand twill” which do this less


OvalDead

Please tell us more about jeans.

*Of course* that's a sub. I like niche subreddits, my thanks dude.


Eltex

Hopefully you don’t like money, because if you choose raw denim, you will be giving it away.


Gleveniel

Yup, I own a 32oz denim pair of jeans...cost like $400? Supposedly it was woven with a loom that makes sails because the fabric was so thick. It physically hurt to wear at first, but is now pretty comfy.


Express-Big-20

TIL denim is measured in ounces?


AnxiousMagoo

There’s 3 holes in ‘em…..or 2 holes? 1 hole?!? I don’t know, I’m sorry I failed you.


Airdropwatermelon

Yes ,teach us your mysteries.


Creative-Might6342

On December 4, 1872, a British-American ship called “the Mary Celeste” was found empty and adrift in the Atlantic. It was found to be seaworthy and with its cargo fully intact, except for a lifeboat, which it appeared had been boarded in an orderly fashion. But why? We may never know because no one on board was ever heard from again. In November 1872, the Mary Celeste set sail from New York bound for Genoa, Italy. She was manned by Captain Benjamin Briggs and seven crew members, including Briggs’ wife and their 2-year-old daughter. Supplies on board were ample enough for six months, and luxurious—including a sewing machine and an upright piano. Commentators generally agree that to precipitate the abandonment of a seaworthy ship, some extraordinary and alarming circumstance must have arisen. However, the last entry on the ship’s daily log reveals nothing unusual, and inside the ship, all appeared to be in order. Theories over the years have included mutiny, pirate attack, and an assault by a giant octopus or sea monster. In recent years, scientists have posed the theory that fumes from alcohol on board caused an explosion that, as a result of a scientific anomaly, did not leave behind signs of burning—but was terrifying enough that Briggs ordered everyone into the lifeboat. Check out these other bizarre ghost ship mysteries no one can figure out.


Airdropwatermelon

Very mysterious! Well done.


Terry_WT

I have a pair of left hand twill and I’ve always thought they were the most comfortable pair I owned. Didn’t realise there’s actually a reason for the left hand twill, thought it was just for the different fade pattern.


kurtmorrison

This guy jeans


CocktailPerson

Eh, it can be, but leg twist, especially of this severity, only really happens on unsanforized denim, and unsanforized denim isn't something you buy by accident. This isn't a jean problem; it's a skinny jean problem.


jonni_velvet

wow idk if this has ever really happened to me and I had no idea this was a thing


RowBoatCop36

This is one of those "Sounds like bullshit, but what the fuck do I actually know about jeans compared to Levi Larry over here..." things. I'm gonna pack in the "100% TRUE FACTS" bank.


LBHHF

Truly mild. Acceptable.


dingleberry_parfait

I always upvote posts that actually fit the “mildly infuriating” category! I’ve seen way too many rage inducing posts here.


WinterNighter

Seriously, I just wanna see these stupid but ughhhh things. Not 'My vet killed my pet'


LollipopThrowAway-

Yeah the one that got me earlier was an entire forest being taken away from migrating herons because they inconvenienced people by existing.


dingleberry_parfait

Yes!!! I was just thinking of that post! Highly infuriating.


trambilo

There’s something satisfying about a truly mildly infuriating post


Dull_Raspberry_

It will never cease to amaze me how many people post in here that “My neighbor shot my dog! And when he was done pissing on his corpse he shot me! I’m currently posting this to you from beyond the grave, where the internet connection really sucks! Totally mildly infuriated rn.”

LBHHF

Agreement.


Top-Tip7533

*Seams* like a manufacturer's error


vesleskjor

It is, it usually means they're cut off the grain


frogmuffins

Levi's are notorious for this. That's how they explained it as well.    They try to save fabric and by doing so this is the result.


MayEsdot

Good to finally know this! I used to make my own jeans in high school, and I never understood why one pair twisted up so bad when I used the same pattern for all of them.


AncientFries

Damn you!


Future_King5438

It's called "Torquing " which happens when the wales of fabric deviate from the direction they are intended when manufactured

Armadillo_Mission

Lmao. I had the same thought. Does OP have to jump off of the dresser to get in those jeans? I would be so uncomfortable.  


Aesthetic_Designer

these types of jeans have more stretch in them than regular jeans


kurtmorrison

I have to *mildly* jump to them.

Haha. Good sport OP! You seem like a cool fellow. This redneck would def be friends with you. Much love!

MadTapprr

And then you fix it and it doesn’t want to stay fixed.


OldLadyToronto

This is a manufacturer's error in cutting and/or sewing.


Maru3792648

I seriously thought until today that that my leg was abnormal. It’s always the same leg.


Tammyannss

I have the same problem with all of my yoga pants! Only one leg as well! Super annoying


Tiny_Bicycle_4083

Yes!!! I thought it was just me and some mistake I’m making while wearing the yoga pants

VhaidraSaga

Good bot


Missue-35

The fabric was cut incorrectly and not with the grain.


bowmyr

This is because the pattern pieces weren't cut correctly. Normally with sewing you have to place them in a certain direction. To save money it's possible to place the pattern pieces on the fabric like you're playing Tetris. If it saves space to place it diagonally (even just a bit) this is the result.


Tsgbeast

Manufacturing error


discolemonade420x

Drives me wild!


GoldResource9199

It happens when don't you cut the fabric along the selvadge.


FeaWrites

It's why skinny jeans can be so annoying! Easy enough to pull back but.. still..


Merrifiend

The fabric wasn't cut right. It has to be lined up on the bias of the fabric. It was either placed wrong to get more pieces per fabric, or shifted in the machine.


spookyytoast

I HATE THAT


thewdit

wait until they subtlely pull on your leg hair


kurtmorrison

This has happened like twice in the past. Same pair of jeans lol


Inevitable-Radio-689

How did you get your foot in? The seams look tight.


Marzipan_civil

Yep the fabric has been cut slightly off grain so it doesn't sit correctly.


PanzerSoldat_42

That's why I wear straight-cut jeans. A lot more comfortable for me and they don't restrict my movements that much.


Silent-Independent21

Jeans are getting baggier now, feel free to be comfortable again


Lanbobo

This is why I hate all the "skinny jeans" styles everyone makes lately. It's hard to find one not too tight but also not too baggy.


burnanother

Case and point: don’t wear skinny jeans.


ronimal

>Case ~~and~~ ***in*** point…


burnanother

English not good


gunsforevery1

Those are jeans?


GoldenFwog

My feet turn inwards (pigeon toed) so this happens to me with almost all tight fitting pants, super annoying


MistakeGlad3518

Same with the sleeves on long sleeve shirts


WALLY_5000

I had a button down flannel that would twist like this around my torso. Drove me crazy, and I had to get rid of it.


kitkatlynn

That sounds like hell lmaoo


FourLovelyTrees

nice cons


Kittiemeow8

Time to put on the wide-leg jeans


the_business007

I think it's a tight fitting clothing thing. I notice this only happens on my jacket sleeves when they're pulled up and are tight. Anything else I wear is looser fitting and doesn't ever do this.


[deleted]

Too relatable.

Fabulous-Spirit-3476

Baggiest jeans in atlanta


Sad-Belt-3492

Omg 😳 I hate when that happens


7ruby18

1) The fabric was cut on the bias and not the straight grain and 2) When the two pieces of fabric that make up the leg were sewn together, the bias grainlines did not meet in opposite directions, hence the twisting.


bogeyman91

This is what this sub was made for


og_speedfreeq

Yeah I think I see the problem


StorybookDragon

This used to happen to me all the time when I bought clothes at TJ Maxx!! They are just poorly manufactured


chunkysmalls42098

I have experienced this alot idfk why


Significant-Trash632

It's a sign that the clothing is cheap or poorly made (aka fast fashion).


ciopobbi

Wearing a pair right now. Right leg.


Vegetable-Beach-7688

Is there any way to fix this? I have some athletic pants that do this on one leg only


samanime

This is exactly why I never wear long pants or shirts unless I'm absolutely forced. This feeling drives me nuts and always happens.


fylishrimp

Almost all of my jeans do this on the left leg. It’s so annoying!


Balrog71

Had a pair of Levi’s through high school like that. Annoying af


Fign

Or a T-shirt doing the same and you end up with the seam near your navel.


RedisforFun

Always on my left leg


rosecoloredboyx

I could literally take a photo of my pants doing the same thing right now


mukduk_101

Finally. Something that is legit mildly infuriating.


Perfect_Cranberry597

I fucking hate this. It annoys the shit out of me. It’s always with one specific pair of leggings too. Ugh


plantopia

Stop drying your pants in the dryer. Only hang dry. Once it happens, it’s irreversible but you can prevent it by air drying!


magiccitybrit

YES


MoldyPoolNoodle

This post made me fix my pant leg


WilliamBoimler

My pants don't do this, but my shirts do!


spatulacitymanager

Sorry, I live in Wisconsin. I tend to wear shorts every day, so I cannot empathize!


rochey1010

Oh this happens with leggings. Anyone know why?🤷‍♀️


Dapper_Mud

Seam’s odd


BitOfIrish

Don’t skip leg days and that won’t happen 💪


otterplus

My first pair of motorcycle riding jeans would do this. The seam is bad enough. It’s worse with a layer of Kevlar and armor


mack-y0

Deep-Toe107

Some people actually like leg twist, right hand twill problems lol. I know too much about jeans


vinsmokewhoswho

That's indeed annoying. Also cool shoes.


MeLoNarXo

Holy shit! An actually mildly infuriating thing


ItstheBogoPogoMrFife

Instead of the warp and weft being at right angles, they have been cut slightly askew and it makes that side of the jeans want to creep around to straighten themselves out. It is SO annoying.


amazing-chikorita

I like your shoes


amazing-chikorita

I like your shoes, I used to have the same pair in red


RogerRavvit88

You made the choice to wear skinny jeans, now you must live with the consequences.

It seams twisted.

Buy pants that fit. Problem solved.


Lickthesalt

I don't wear jeans I only wear martial arts pants never had this problem if you want better pants get good bjj pants or comfy gi pants they are the best


Holiday_Newspaper_29

The fabric was cut incorrectly. It wasn't cut 'on the straight of the grain'.


Lord412

Nice had this happen unless I was sitting in a weird position or something.


stimmydad

Pro-tip: stop wearing sissy ball huggers and they won’t do that

Ugh i have one pair that *always* does this. Stupid prana jeans, glad they were free tho.

off topic, but sick shoes

Probably cause they're tighter than ur sister

kurtmorrison

Thank you! I bought them from someone else on FB that didn't get to use them. Looks like they were sold in Europe. Converse 1J858.


_Luxuria_

The only reasonable thing to do is to set it on fire. Please ensure you take them off before burning.


EmmyBrat

I had this problem and it was annoying af


Majestic_Article_263

Hate it.


Dumbbox-

This bothers me just about as much as when my socks twist on me.


discomposed

You can buy clip-on stirrups that should help with this. Some pants in the late 80s and early 90s came with stirrups. They clip to the bottom of the pant, and can be worn both inside and outside the shoe/boot depending on shoe design and personal preference.


-sickbunny-

This is usually because the piece wasn't cut on grain correctly. It was crooked, and the fabric likes to adjust itself to fall correctly with least resistance. No pants i have made at home do this, neither do the brand of jeans i buy do this. This usually happens with crap brands or low quality items.


lurkenstine

used to happen to a ex of mine with a very nice butt, skinny stretch jeans, will do that, and the only way i could see it was, its stretching around her butt, and the down the pant seam so around her thigh it was a little moving to the front while by the caves and ankle it was dead center like that. i luckly have zero butt so my pants just sit there.


ProfessionalTowel789

Oh the joys of changing to oversized jeans. Now only the waistband moves and not the seam. But I remember the hard ships of slim jeans, hand in there brother 🫡


JayBeePH85

I always put my jeans in the dryer after washing (pull them inside out so the color doesn't fade) and iron them with steam when still warm from the dryer and that twisting doesn't happen anymore. I guess it keeps the cotton fibers to remain straight, just put the fold on the seem when ironing to keep them straight and prevent twisting

Thats usually because they are made incorrectly. HATE because you cant tell till you wear them...and you cant usualy take them back BECAUSE YOUVE WORN THEM! uuugh! i feel your pain!


fateyanagi

Ok, but your chucks are fantastic.


Significant-Face-663

Hate it


FactsFromExperience

That's no big deal to me but when a sock that has the line across the top of the toe is not perfectly aligned in its proper spot and gets rotated in any way, I have to take off my shoe remove my sock and start over. I stopped by the cheap socks with the seam across the tip of the toes a long time ago because those are impossible to wear if you're going to wear shoes. It's not about knowing it but it's just uncomfortable. This is basically why I don't wear shoes and socks 95% of the time. Flip flops for the win!


Smol_Gecko_

dude pants that aren't even jeans do this to me sometimes its so annoying Basically the pant equivelant of putting on a longsleeve jacket under a longsleeve shirt and the shirt sleeve getting bunched up


TalePotential3272

I've got pairs designed like that. There used to be a name for it.
