Subject: Wimbledon staff have a ripping time
Written By: Philip Eno on 07/19/06 at 4:22 pm
Wimbledon staff are having a problem with their new uniforms - with 60 pair of trousers splitting.
The cream Ralph Lauren trousers have torn open as line judges bend down in matches.
All 355 officials have had them double stitched by a tailor from the firm.
According to The Sun umpire Stuart Taylor said: "There were lots of accidents and ripping sounds. It was embarrassing."
A Ralph Lauren spokesman said: "We have had the odd problem but these have been fixed. Everyone is happy."

That's what happens when you get a named designer involved. The clothes might look good but they are not actually suitable to wear whilst doing the job they are required for.
