I don't get that.

It's just what I wear. I don't think "OMG I need get the super baggey upper fly model in bell bottoms!" I just go "Hey...time to buy some new jeans...ought to buy some new t-shirts with a pocket on them too while I'm at it"

I just steal my boyfriend's jeans and wear 'em with a belt. No one makes the jeans I want anyway (low rise, straight leg, loose/relaxed fit, 32" inseam,
I used to rock a pair of Lip Service stretch f'n jeans in size L, but the waist is too loose and the thigh area has become unbearably tight because I've been doing lots of hillclimbs. It's a shame, too, because they used to make my ass look incredible.

Er, throw in a "<$50)." after that "inseam". Forgot to turn off HTML. :P

I just started wearing jeans again after about a 10 year lapse.

I did however always have in my summer wardrobe a few pairs bought from Goodwill that I cut off and wore with suspenders a white v-neck and sandals.

To my horror my father drug out some pictures from when he was a teenager....dressed exactly the same.

My younger (16) just discovered 501s.

Its nice to see the demin get some respect. I still wish I could find a nice pair of acid-washed to wear when I am going someplace fancy.

<mr t>
Hey Boy! You lookin' mighty good in them tight jeans!"
</mr t>

I wear jeans to avoid ripping my slacks when I work on the car.

I love jeans, too bad I can only wear them to work once a week on 'casual fridays'.

Still can't believe I can't wear my GWAR tour shirt or my offensive 'Get Freaky at the Tiki' shirts. Nooooo... polo shirts at the minimum. Feh!

Does anyone know where I could still find a pair of three legged jeans?

I take off my robe and wizard hat...

I dare you to post a pic of your incredible ass.

FTA: The deck (the thing just after the headline): It was consumers, not marketers, that made jeans a symbol of youthful revolt.

And then the article says the exact opposite in the next few paragraphs.

Yeah sure, marketing had nothing to do with the youth trend.

I LIKE THIS HEADLINE BECAUSE IT PLAYS OFF A WELL KNOWN STAND UP CLICHE

Feh!

It was Marlon Brando and James Dean who made it kEwl to wehere blue jeans.

Hang on to those old Levi's if you have them and wear them for special occasions. Levi's of today are crap. Since they found their way into Wally World they have gone to hell. 13 oz denim down from 14 3/4oz. Just not the same as the ones as early as 7 years ago.

Weird, it just occured to me that I own exactly zero pairs of denim pants. Maybe I should get with the times.

The great thing about jeans is you can wear them for days in a row and no one can tell. I am on day 5 and they look/smell just like day one. I agree with interwoven though Levis aren't as durable as they used to be. I usually go to Ross and grab whatever fits right. You can pick up $80 jeans for $15-25.

Looking again, both those broads look mentally unstable.

I usually get Eddie Bauer jeans or these:

http://www.unionjeancompany.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=&Screen=PROD &Store_Code=ujc&Product_Code=25305

Both are more than 20 bucks a pair, but I know that the sizing will always be right. Because of offshore production, one company's size 40 won't be another company's size 40, you'd be surprised that a Levis size 40 jean is sometimes a actual size 38.

YMMV, but I have that happen all the time with brands other than Union or Bauer.

You don't say...

I've been wearing Gap jeans lately. I suppose that makes me some kinda goddam yuppie or something. But they make a 35" waist, which is just perfect.

I used to get No. 7 jeans from Old Navy, but then they switched to a much thinner denim for their jeans, and it wore out so quick it was ridiculous. Started buying Wranglers from Wal-Mart, haven't bought anything else since. Nice, thick denim and they fit right.

'civil libertarians who took care of the dress codes.'
One example of what is fundamentally wrong with libertarians.

Ah the elusive 35" waist. I miss having to hunt for those... (now a 36" :P)

Wow, thank you Chester Fields

I hate buying new jeans. I have to hot-water-shrink the waist so I don't have 5 inch gap in the back. Everyone knows women have waists that are smaller than their hips, why the hell can't they make jeans that way?

Anyone see the Bum Jeans skit on SNL?

I have real trouble shopping for jeans. I am apparently an awkward size around 33-32 which are hard to find. And those numbers seem to change every time I go shopping. I always end up trying on 3 different sizes before I get the right one.

I'm glad the faded thigh fashion is going out of style, it was becoming difficult to find jeans that were not faded.

In my day, we called 'em dungarees, and tied an onion to our belt, which was the style at the time...

/geet aff mah lawn...

Man, for supposedly enlightened people, the chinese seem to really suck when it comes to human rights. Of course, you can't generalize, they aren't all misogynists, but it seems damn near all.

/many some day we will climb out of the Dark Ages.

I haven't worn dungaree for years, I can't even remember, must be fifteen years at least and I'm 25.

The jeans I remember from my childhood were to tight over my thighs and generally uncomfortable. When I became old enough to choose my own clothes, I began to wear cotton slacks and khaki trousers, and that's what I still wear. I haven't even tried on a pair of dungaree trousers for perhaps eight years, but maybe it will feel differently now. I'm not sure I could wear dungaree though, I've always consciously dressed in a rather conservative manner, and I'm not sure I want to break away from that.

I still like jeans on girls, but of course that depends very much upon how well the pants fit and how the girl is built. There's something unspeakably horrid about those jeans that make a girl's legs seem long and thin like matchsticks.

WRONG THREAD...shiat

Remember the great onion shortage of '62?
A turnip is a poor substitute for an onion, IMO.

Before the current fashion of falling-off-the-ass, dragging-on-the-ground gangsta jeans, the low point in blue jean evolution was the "Disco Jeans."
Worn nut-crushingly tight by both men and women and marketed by Jordache, Diane Von Furstenberg and Yves Saint Laurent.
The mere memory of those masochistic, over-priced, garments makes my nuts ache. However, I was once told by a mocha-skinned princess at a club one night that I had a "nice ass for a white boy". Despite the compliment, I went home that night and iced my bruised testicles alone.

If denim jeans are so damn popular with the "utes" of today, why the hell can't is not cool to rock the jorts?

PICS PLEASE

married 13 years.... daddy care more about money than fasion so I gots to go with the 15 dollar wrangler at walmart.
I would only wear levi's in my yout', but 15 bucks....Cant beat it, plus you dont have to broadcast your waist size.

I like the eddie bowers too, but I believe the wranglers hold up better.

*saves chester fields' picture before it's deleted by the mods*

ooops...thats fashion... :/

No honey, your ass looks tiny in those "Mommy pants".

I know some high school/college freshmen who wear bathrobes (over regular clothes) to places like the grocery store. Some offshoot of the "wear PJ bottoms to school" thing about ten years ago?

That's what you get for looking again.

Who is that guy? Was he on some television show back in the dark ages or something? Talk about an obscure reference. =p

Now, if hickory stripe overalls go back into style I'll be all set!
