I have always loved to wear fine waled cords in the winter months - but I gave that up when I became obese because of the noise the cords made when I walked because my thighs rubbed together. There was so much friction, I'm surprised the pants didn't catch fire. The last pair I owned (way before my highest weight) had places on the inside of the thighs where the cords were rubbed smooth from the pressure.

This winter, I have two very nice pair - one in black and one in camel. And, they don't make any noise when I walk in them. YEA!

Now THAT is an NSV! WTG Sharon! I love cords, but for the same reason never wore them. I think I may have to do just that LOL.

That is an awesome nsv! I was just looking at my cords today and feeling sad because I've rubbed them smooth just like you said. I'm so glad to be getting sleeved next week.

That is so funny...catching on fire:) No more, now you can wear them for years and not have wear between the thighs!
