Controlled Chaos Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) I didn't intend to sound critical of anyone else's tastes, I was just stating my own. If something makes you look good and (maybe more importantly) feel good, then that's no concern of mine. Suits, however, I can understand a little better (although the prices you quote for suits and jeans are both out of my league). At upwards of $500, they are usually custom altered and made of finer materials with higher thread counts, etc. I am not that familiar with higher end jeans, but I thought all denim was pretty much made from the same cotton. Besides, I can usually tell a "cheap suit" from the frontal view, without having to check out somebody's ass. I didn't think you were being critical at all. And haha sorry, I really dont even know suit prices...I just guessed....shows ya the last time I bought one. I just had this weird logic in my own head like...ok say a suit is 250 or 300(not sure what they cost)...and you wear it maybe 2 times a year. Now say your jeans cost $100 bucks, but you wear em like 30+ times a year. It is worth it to get that nice pair that fits well, will hold up and you look good in.

Chisoxfn Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 10:48 AM) I dont think that Express is metro at all. I wear their formal shirts for work almost everyday and im fairly sure that business casual or wearing a suit to work isnt metrosexual. I wear a ton of work shirts from express. They are very good non-wrinkle shirts that fit me very nice. Express and Banana also have fantastic work pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shirts fit me better than pretty much anything else I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I just got that coupon and am probably gonna buy a pair or two of pants to take advantage of that. Them and Expresses pants just fit so damn well. And I think that it is important to dress well at your job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 haha Im the exact opposite of most people in this thread. I have to wear suits and stuff to work (some days) and so I have nice clothes, but if I had a choice Id wear jeans, t-shirts, etc all the time. And I think that some of you are proving my point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi Town Sox Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 02:18 PM) There should be a law against the sale of jeans in excess of $35/pair, which is what I pay for Levi's on sale. I like nice clothes and the occasional nice label (and I'm really not as cheap as I probably sound), but I just can't rationalize paying more than that for different stitching on the back pockets. Personally, I've never been able to discern any other difference in the more expensive pairs. Of course, I am old and fairly crotchety. If you pay a little more for some jeans they feel as if you can sleep in them they are so comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Jeans are regional. Someone poked fun at Wranglers, but if y'all are down in Texas, a pair of Wranglers, stacked on your boots, is the norm. Some fancy ass designer jean look fine on some city chick, but a real man wouldn't wear 'em. Besides, that's what George Strait wears.

SleepyWhiteSox Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Funny thing is...there are people who wear $180 true religion and paper denim who thumb their noses at others who just wear regular Levi's from kohls, jc penney, and sears...BUT then the supposed "real" jean connoiseurs look down on and mock those pre-faded/distressed mall/department store brands since they're into $300 Japanese repro jeans made of Japanese selvedge, wearing them almost daily for a year without washing them. Me, I have a kohls card so I get my Levi's 501s for about $25 when they have the 30% off every month (slickdeals.net is nice), although I'm waiting for them to get some new colors/washes. I like how 501s fit me. Only thing I don't like is how fast they fade. I also found a pair of RRL Japanese selvedge made in the USA jeans for 45 at a marshalls. Only "high-end"-ish jeans I have. So I have about 8 pairs of Levi's 501s, couple of pairs of Polo, couple of j. crews, couple of express, and the RRLs, finding all of them on sale and never having paid more than 40 until the RRL ones. (I work at a community center so I wear jeans daily.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those cowboy/western/rodeo-style Wranglers are tighter than women's jeans... My uncle is into the cowboy look but he's more into 501s with his crocodile boots and belt.

A day or two we can wear jeans. Same rules, no designer labels. We consider Levis, Wranglers, Lees to be regular brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I love butting heads with my brother on this one. I generally buy Levi's (I generally get a half inch to big though, because otherwise it's a half inch to small, darn you jeans...) and my brother believes those are for country people. I am of the belief that spending $100 on one pair of jeans is foolish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
