I've kept the drawstrings in but tend just to tie the ends together or put a toggle on so that they don't disappear into the waistband. Some of my older Flancis have huge chunky white drawstrings that I might remove, or replace with elastic. It'll be a simple enough sewing job.

Can neither confirm nor deny that I've ordered a load of FMFM stuff from 9for9.

Just doing my bit for the economy, and all that.

None of it's very colourful, though. Some grey tops and a pair of dark red joggers. The fact I've managed to get over a year into the pandemic with only two pairs of joggers* is possibly some sort of miracle.

*I did but a third pair from BYHP, but they're christmassy ones so I don't think they really count as I won't be wearing them in anger for quite a few months yet.

I need some nice joggers I decided last week whilst in the camper van! Perfect camper van attire!

Wore Flanci capris for the first time today. Very comfortable but I found having a heavy phone in the thigh pocket caused that side to gradually slip down. So I’ll be keeping the drawstring in to stop the slippage!

I wore my long SBD

Was going to wear my skort but had a last minute panic that it might rub or ride up and as I was doing almost 2hrs I chickened out and got warm instead!

The drawstrings annoy me on flanci capris. Nice concept but the toggles chafe! And if you take them off the drawstrings come out in the wash.

I've taken the toggles off, DrP, and keep the drawstrings in a bow so they don't come out. I forgot once and it took a while to rethread.

I didn't find the toggles chafed though it was only a 5k run so perhaps not a long enough run to find out. I decided I didn't like the lump on my leg so put my phone in my running pouch as usual.
