Lets talk Jeans.

[FredK]

hey hey hey. what's up with the gun show.

[DarkWing6]

Luke, is that your only shirt?

[Aptyp]

dude if you think it costs any manufacturer 50-100 to make a pair of jeans you have been scammed by the marketing force of said company. somewhere in a boardroom somewhere there are a bunch of limp wristed homo designers laughing their asses off and you know what they are saying??? "thank god for fruits like steinbachphoto and ken copperwheat who will pay up to 400 dollars for a pair of jeans or we would be sucking cock on hollywood boulevard."
you may be looking at 8-12 dollars to make a pair of jeans. any jeans, the rest is marketing and shipping and huge fucking profits from guys like you

Saw a solid point there. Recently Yahoo had an article on jobs that overpay per year, and clothes designer was on the list. They sited pay of 60k+ per year. It kinda made me sick to my stomach that engineering degrees fetch you a starting job at 60k and live you with 60k in loans. Teachers get paid 25k to start. And all that because some fags want to buy $200 jeans and $100 dollar shirts.

Two words: supply, demand

There's a billion engineers in the world. (not really but soon to be with India and China churning out so many) But how many people can make really stylish faggidity jeans?

Okay....I clearly know Jordan is in the middle...who are the others??

[StereoInstaller1]

From left to right: My ex-wife (yes she was MUCH smaller when we met, in 1991) Gina, Me (Luke) Jordan, Ben and James (who has not grown taller, but is thinner now too.

I am only older and balder, but with a bit less belly. Still bigger forearms than most guys legs.

Oh yeah, that is STILL the BEST R3V meet evar!

[Money$hit]

I have a little chuckle everytime I see that pic...

I do, I have found that Lucky Brand and Diesel work best for me. I got the other problem. Being taller than wide. So I have to goto the European cut clothes for clothes that fit. Stores like Express, Gap, Levis, etc are cut for the bigger American person.

Really? I like my Express jeans more than any other pairs I've had, they fit perfect, and I'm 5'11" 135lbs

I have some Lucky jeans too, but I bought them at Ross, so they're a bit big, don't wear them much. I refuse to step foot in Abercrombie, that place is entirely too gay, I try to avoid places that blast techno and put giant murals of shirtless men in the entrance. I've never been in Hollister, and I've been in American Eagle once, but I wasn't shopping, I was with a girl.

I'm pretty picky about jeans, it's rare that I find a pair I like for a reasonable price, so I end up with very few pairs...I find plenty of expensive pairs, but I'm a poor college student now, can't be doin that anymore, plus I look enough like a "city boy" as it is, out here in the country.

Wrangler "Relaxed Fit" FTW. If you are wearing jeans to impress, you might want to consider who you are trying to impress.

College girls, definitely them.

Sounds like you should start your own company as you've discovered how to make them at less than the cost of the material. Some sort of business plan where the tailors pay you to work?
Granted, 90% of jeans produced do cost around $10 each to make, but they're all assembly line produced in China.

i may do that if you continue to buy my jeans at 200 bucks a pop. you will never convince me or anyone with a brain that your high dollar jeans use some secret denim that costs 100 dollars in material per pair. you have bought into the marketing hype and are the reason there is a market for overpriced shitwear.

Agreed. The jeans I got in GAP in london were definitely a narrower waist than the same "size" US GAP jeans.

This thread is gayer than aids

That is no shit.

If I'm going out on a weekend I'll wear 7's, Goldsigns, Rock n' Republic, whatever.

I'll also wear Faconable/LaCoste button down shirts etc. shirts if I'm going out on a Friday or on a date.

Most days? Cargo shorts, flops, and a t-shirt ftw. Do you really need to dress well to go to Safeway? Wal-mart? Target? Fuck no. I wear a damned suit all the time I'm beyond stoked when I can finally just wear a t-shirt and shorts.

Oh, and whoever was hating on sweatpants needs to pick up some Nike Team sweats - most comfortable thing ever aside from a warm vagina.


Now, can we talk about something that isn't along these lines? Like warm vagina?

[Gobig_us]

you want jeans, you buy fucking levi's. You want cheaper ones, you get wrangler.

Ted, why you been in Walmart anyway? Quality - Price = Value, and the prices may be low but value fucking sucks at Wally world. I haven't been there since I graduated college.

And Bus Caus > Bus Formal, and Smart Caus >> both
