LDS Garments: Why I Want Out of This Club

[pellegrino]

Is this unique to Brazil or do other South American countries have this available as well? In say... Uruguay? I may have a connection.

I can only verify for Brazil

It's been awhile. Are the silky G's the same as what used to be called corbin?

I think so.

I took my involvement in this thread a step too far tonight; I went on store.lds.org and tried to order garments, first selecting Brazil as my country. Everything went to plan until checkout, where it prompted a National Tax ID #, which I guess you have if you are a Brazilian national. Man, the Church sure does pull out all the stops to keep us Americans away from the sweet Brazilian Gs. Now I'm wondering if I can swing an international trip to Brazil.

That is helpful. Corban is what people now call silky G's, not an actor.

Corban was hell in humidity. It stuck on you the second you put them on.

A warning about Brazilian Gs: when I was on my mission there, they were poorly constructed. At least one American companion bought garments down there and some of the stitching came apart pretty fast.

And this is different from the US version...how?

I wonder what's the most garments one could buy regularly without arousing suspicion. Like Cubans that mule Floridian goods into Cuba for resale, I see a business opportunity.

So the warning is that the Brazilian garments are of similar quality to the American ones. I won't get my hopes up.

I thought my garments were made in South America?

However if you are in the military beehive will silk screen the symbols onto your military issued shirts.

They should do this with every garment top with an off white color. I don't like the marks poking out and with a white shirt they are really obvious.

I've never had any poorly constructed garments. In fact, the material and stitching has always outlived the fact that they become so off-white that I don't want to wear them anymore. I think I still have some pairs from my mission that I use when I'm doing something I know is going to get me really sweaty and dirty like cleaning up yards after a hurricane.

Good news for those who are unhappy with their underwear choices, you now have an opportunity to directly impact them. As I was browsing open full-time positions with the church today (what, don't we all do that?), I noticed that they have an opening for a "Pattern Maker", whose job it will be to "create individualized patterns of sacred clothing for members of the Church with medical or sizing needs that cannot be accommodated throughout the regular product line."

I'm sure if you got this job, you could construct some pretty sweet custom Gs for yourself. So apply for this job or you forfeit your right to whine anymore!

Wow that's cool the church has/will have that service available. Kinda renders that sketchy company that puts the symbols on sportswear useless.

Btw i fixed the long G problem by going Size SS. The waistline is unaffected since they are elastic anyway, but you get that mid thigh fit.

Is this the appropriate thread for the following 1971 Ensign classic? Its value is admittedly diminished by subsequent migration of the term "lingerie," but it's great nonetheless. The first line and the second through to the colon combine excellently with the title.
