I found out Levi's had discontinued the 527s and just went on Amazon and ordered six or seven pairs in different finishes
I'm that guy

I don't ever let the hems blow out though. Never even fray - busted ass clothes are for more dedicated hobros than me

oh shit maybe I should check out those Levi's Commuter jeans?

WHY CAN'T I JUST FIND GOOD KINDA-SLIM DURABLE RAW/SELVEDGE JEANS FOR UNDER $100
i've not worn uniqlo jeans but have bought other clothes from them (in japan though, not sure if that makes a difference) and i like the quality and style for the price
i like levi's for the same reasons
though ag and rag&bone are good, long lasting jeans if you can find a style you like (don't see any good ones on their sites right now), but they are more expensive

jeans don't last long.
be at peace.

me too. i have two pairs in rotation and feel like i'm eating my greens when i wear the newer pair.

gap actually has some decent jeans and they're probably mostly or all on sale since the company is struggling

I picked up a pair of dark regular-fit selvedge jeans for 10 DAMN DOLLARS at Uniqlo and I looooooooove them!!! I have not worn non-slim jeans in 10 years and I really love them a lot????
― Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 20 February 2017 21:20 (seven years ago) link
yeah it's interesting to go away from slim jeans, feels like a departure
― Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Monday, 20 February 2017 21:20 (seven years ago) link
non-slim jeans feel less fussy
― marcos, Monday, 20 February 2017 21:23 (seven years ago) link
I feel so style-advanced and mature and grownup??
― Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 20 February 2017 21:28 (seven years ago) link
Made 2 pairs so far this year one in striped orange and the other turquoise/green with a narrow bright green stripe.
Orange ones are very comfy.Will make couple more before long. One brown/red tartan and one green/brown/blue stripes.

Are dark blue washed blue jeans cool? Or can I only wear black like every other schlub on the street?
― calstars, Monday, 20 February 2017 23:00 (seven years ago) link
The great lie of designer jeans is that jeans have ever, or ever will be, cool
They are utilitarian leg coverings that attempt to balance durability with all-season comfort while being in the price range of the wage-earner
So if they hit all those marks you should be confident in your choice, not concerned
― El Tomboto, Monday, 20 February 2017 23:04 (seven years ago) link
yes tombot we know you are a computer man dad who wears loose fit levis, kirkland t-shirts, and chucks high tops that you stole from a member of reel big fish

do you go into ilm threads and post "beatles and stones man, that's all you need"
tom is an anagram of otm

xxp No, I go into ILM threads about AFX and say "OK you suckers, at least I know when to cut my losses and admit I'm dreaming of a return to 1994 every time I buy one of this asshole's records"
If Mordy gets to go on Rolling Political Philosophy and declaim he's perfectly OK with a theistic origin of natural rights, then I get to say BE YOURSELF on fashion threads and you're required to come to grips with my deeply felt beliefs

my american 501s that i bought at christmas already have a hole in one pocket. i have put my keys in there maybe 6 or 7 times total. unacceptable. i dunno i might be done with jeans. i got some nice-fitting chinos and linen trousers for summer, i'll see how i feel in september.

get a carabiner for your keys?

stop it

that's halfway to a bluetooth headset

then you can clip the carabiner to the headset for maximum efficiency

big ups to jim my fellow jidadist
bringing cool into it was somewhat foolhardy but tbh el tomboto has a point in that ppl should start treating jeans more like jeans and less like trousers imo

hopefully still improving my technique but have had seams at the pocket come undone on the turquoise and the white/red/beige striped ones so still have some way to go. Have fixed both and they're wearing ok but must be something I still need to perfect.Orange ones are very comfortable

Yeah have made a load based on the same pair of old wrangler cords that wore out on me a few years ago.Still perfecting things though and probably should get around to drafting a pattern. I tend to take them in a lot on what the original design was, which was pretty loose.
Shirts there are all me too.

I wear some black jeans but I'm the only one wearing locally so w/e

black jeans or no jeans for me

I do not understand that stance
― mh đ, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 15:46 (seven years ago) link
blue is the color of jeans, if you are deviating from that color, there should be a distinct need or ideological stance if you're replacing blue as the default color. highlight colors, such as a deep red or novelty white are allowed under certain circumstances
feel like if they're black 501s you're required to wear a cowboy-style shirt and black sombrero
― mh đ, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 15:50 (seven years ago) link
apc new standards are like 200 bux now? feel like just a few years ago they were ~120-140. some bullshit.
― circa1916, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 15:51 (seven years ago) link
black jeans fwiw are like the second most common common, they are pretty standard ime
