JEANS

the waist seems true in that i could just about fit into a 32 but had to admit to myself I'm really a 33. they have a variety of cuts with some of them being v skinny. i wear thin finns and I'm a pretty skinny legged dude and they're pretty tight

waists on jeans stretch out really fast ime. i've been a 31 for years, but tried on a bunch of 31s recently that felt really tight and at first thought "oh i guess im a 32 now." after a day of wearing them they felt totally normal though.

that is true, you want them a bit snug to begin with for sure

my legs can't fit into anything smaller than a slim and even that is sometimes pretty snug

saw a couple cool designs

i need jeans as well, but i might just stick with levis

i just started buying more $ jeans and getting them repaired. crotch blows out on almost any pair unless they have that double layer that some companies build in now. i think if you search for cycling jeans you should findÉ anyway most cities should have someone who can chainstitch those badboys back up, nothing feels better than wearing a pair of jeans you've already been wearing for ages

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?

wait acc to the website they redesigned them and they have terrible reviews now :(

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.

i embrace my worn out jeans and actually prefer them

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

i wear the newer ones to work and the old ones on weekends

hmm some cheap cos jeans on sale rn

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????

yeah it's interesting to go away from slim jeans, feels like a departure

non-slim jeans feel less fussy

I feel so style-advanced and mature and grownup??

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?

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

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

kind of sitting here in quiet appreciation of jim's laser-targeted deconstruction

it's like that guardians of the galaxy 2 trailer and I'm thinking "now do me!"

🙄

hahahaha

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.

"cool story bro"

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

eh, i bike every day and they're really useful

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

Are dark blue washed blue jeans cool? Or can I only wear black like every other schlub on the street?

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

gimme all three

wait stevo you MADE those trousers?

er in my post upthread i meant 510s, not 501s (lol)

stevo looks like one funky dude

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

but yes for most of my life it was dark blue or nothing

black jeans or no jeans for me

I do not understand that stance
