Larry’s Pants: The Legend Lives On

Who is Larry from Lethbridge?

Nobody knows for certain. Some say he was a star athlete. Others swear he pushed carts at Lowe’s, or hauled freight at Erb on black coffee and honey crullers. He might’ve been young, he might’ve been old — but everyone agrees on this: Larry took care of his clothes, and when he was done, he passed them on so someone else could get a deal.

So when you shop Larry’s Pants, you’re buying into a small-town legend: good stuff, fairly priced, ready for a second wind.

Why Larry Matters

• Less landfill: Extend a garment’s life and you shrink its footprint.
• Less new production: Reuse beats buying brand-new “just because.”
• More value: Quality pieces at a discount from original retail.

How to Do Your Part

• Donate smart: Thrift stores, shelters, or verified textile recycling bins.
• Repair before replace: Buttons, hems, and small rips are quick fixes.
• Reuse creatively: Retire beyond-repair items into shop rags or craft fabric.
• Buy second-hand: Choose pre-loved first — better for the planet and your budget.

Less Consumerism, More Second-Hand

Fast “buy new” culture burns cash and resources. Larry’s way is slower and smarter: choose well, take care, pass it on. When you shop second-hand, you’re voting for durability, value, and community — one pair of pants at a time.
