Oh wait. We know what you're thinking. "Hemlock?? How could poison help me with my fraying pants?" 

Well, we're not talking about the infamous hemlock, slayer of Socrates. We're talking about Hemlock - the hem holding shoe attachment that will keep your hems off the ground and your pants free from fraying. 

We tried it out on our sneakers and give it the Invention Exposure approval. If your pants just can't seem to keep themselves off the ground than Hemlock is the solution for you (barring other issues you may have with public nudity). Hemlock easily attaches to and detaches from pretty much any pair of sneakers and holds your hem off the ground without being noticeable. The clear plastic of the Hemlock keeps your hem keeping secret; that is unless you want to shout it from the rooftops. In that case each Hemlock that you purchase comes with a clip on plate declaring the Hemlock logo. 

Save yourself the trouble of trying to replace that one perfect fitting pair of jeans that you'll never be able to find again just because of a warn out hem. Or save that favourite pair of pajama pants from inevitable destruction due to late night trips to the market for a gallon of ice cream. Hemlock is also great for saving you the cost of having to replace scrubs and other work pants, for those of you who work on your feet. If you don't have a personal need for the Hemlock than we suggest you consider discreetly attaching one to the favourite sneakers of your baggy pant wearing son's, daughters, husbands, wives, or otherwise to save your family the uneseccary cost of replacing pants with worn out hems. 

Despite the genius of the Hemlock, we do have two complaints. The first being while Hemlock is technically one size fits all, some of us here at Invention Exposure have especialy small shoes. While the Hemlock does work for even those of us who wear size 5 shoes, it would work even better, and reduce slippage if there were a slightly smaller Hemlock available. Not to mention, where is the childrens size! Our second complaint is just that we wish there was a Hemlock available that could attach to sandals. Not all baggy pant wearers wear sneakers. 

Otherwise we give Hemlock a thumbs up for keeping our hems up!
