wrangler just makes the most durable jeans out there. i wear my jeans both as attire for going out but also as something to wear underneath waders, fishing, etc. i'm not gonna buy jeans for 150+ dollars when there's a good chance they'll get fucked up and also those metro jeans you buy at j crew, abercrombie, etc are not made as well as wranglers
and why is it that every post is pretty much identical for being the pinnacle of cool, seems like you could come up with something a little more interesting than khaki shorts, ugly loafers, and a polo shirt
yeah i could, but what's the point if one pair can serve multiple purposes. i also think that my boots would look awkward with designer jeans
not in chicago- im just saying you have to adjust your gear to your environment- ive been slowly changing my dress since moving to the city- less kahkis more upscale jeans- what i wore in Oxford gets you made fun of in Chicago
well I never plan on moving up North, so I think I'll be alright. I'm not a huge fan of swanky bars like that in the first place. But I did go to Chicago last year w/ a bunch of my friends from college, and yeah we definitely stood out for the most part (on purpose on my part), but I didn't really take it as a bad thing because we had a lot of girls that wanted to talk to us just because we were southern.
The greatest free advertising Polo, Brooks Brothers, Southern Tide, and Vineyard Vines could ever ask for.
Those driving/boat/whatever shoes are weak sauce, you need a pair of these babies....got them for $5 on Ebay;
whats the protocal in chicago bars? designer jeans and black button ups with 2 buttons done? but seriously im curious
Why in the hell would you want to wear the same clothes you fish/hunt/get drity/smell as shit in out to a bar? I fish, but I'm not going to rock the same shirt or jeans that have fish blood/chum/bait stank on to a bar. Stupid argument. Do you even know what "designer" jeans are? I think you're completely clueless on exactly what designer jeans mean.
Those are some nice shoes. I also need to compliment you on your beard. A lesser man could not grow one like that. Proving once again that XIII are full of natural testosterone.
no- i mean there are some douche bags out there but the club scene is not my type anyways- for the nice bars- I usually just wear designer jeans, some sort of dark colored Clarkes, and a Polo/BB Button Up- never had a problem- can get in anywhere with that get up- and it doesnt strike me as toolish
that's what the washing machine is for, so no it's not a stupid argument. i have zero blood stains, etc on any jeans i wear in public. i'm not clueless on what designer jeans are but i would never be caught dead wearing any
Why? You don't want to wear jeans made out of finer, softer & more comfortable fabric? Oh the humanity!!!!!! Why are jeans the one article of clothing that can't be nice and pay a premium for? And you wouldn't be caught dead in quality clothes? The fuck kind of statement is that? Who doesn't like nice things?
when did i say i wouldn't be caught dead in quality clothes? i think designer jeans look queer, and i don't wear things that look queer. i have plenty of expensive clothes, so don't "get it twisted." it's crazy how a dude from the south can have such a hard-on for the anti-frat movement and everything that comes with it. oh, and fyi, designer jeans are not better made or of higher quality than a pair of wranglers. you're paying for the stitching on the back pocket bro
I do not believe my lacoste jeans have any special stitching or designs on the pockets and I maintain they fit better than wranglers. I know this because I have owned both brands. You are kind of sounding ignorant with your "nice jeans are for queers" argument and honestly perpetuating southern stereotypes.
So, your expensive clothes....those are different than the polos, button up, slacks, that you can buy at JC Penny's or Walmart are better, but the expensive jeans "that look queer" just b/c they cost a little more than are no better quality than the Wranglers you buy at JC Penny's or walmart????? That is a terrible argument. You except the notion that there are quality clothes, but for some crazy reason, jeans have to be excluded from that category. I'm also not really "from" the south. I grew up at the beach in Virginia, which is hardly anything close to what goes on at most SEC schools. It was a pretty big culture shock when I got to Auburn. I'm not against the frat trend, only like to point out ridiculous contradictions.
that's fine; however, you're not going to convince me designer jeans are better made and/or last longer than plain wrangler jeans (not the wranglers you buy at walmart) because it simply isn't true. designer jeans just have that complete metro look to them and i don't like that.
what are you even talking about? the wranglers i buy you can not find at walmart. sorry, those are different wranglers. yes i accept the notion there are quality clothes, and yes jeans are excluded from an article of clothing i'm willing to spend 100+ on. jeans were designed to be casual clothing, and I can't justify spending 150 bucks or whatever on an article of clothing like jeans. when i think of dressing nice, jeans don't pop into my mind, so what's the point of spending as much on jeans as i would on a nice pair of pants?
If you wear designer jeans you secretly like cock. That's not me saying that, it says so on the tag inside where it tells you how to wash them.
Sorry, JC Penny's, Sears or Stienmart. It is completely asinine to exclude jeans from something that can be nice. It is cloth. Not all cloth is created the same & put together with the same quality stitching (actual stitching, not pocket design) At one point in time jeans were solely for working on the farm. Shit evolves. At one point in time people wore pfgs/costas for fishing, now it is a frat staple at the bar scene. I'm 100% positive you've never even tried on nice jeans. Especially b/c you keep harping on the fact that the "gay stitching" and "queer look". Nice jeans, just like every other shit cut, make various styles (skinny, boot cut, straight leg etc) and not all have dragons on the pockets as you believe.
no, not even there. the only place around here that carries them are boot stores, and then tractor supply has a very limited supply. i usually just order mine off the wrangler website because my size is always hard for me to find more than one pair at a time. why would i try on something when i don't like what it looks like and have no intention of buying? and no, i don't think all designer jeans have dragons and crazy shit going on, but they're still pretty damn easy to pick out.
we obviously aren't gonna agree on this. you have your yankee style, and i have my southern style. agree to disagree on what is the better jean.
See, I don't have a yankee style. I'm not even sure what that is. If anything I have a beach influence to the majority of what I wear. As someone else said, you're furthering the southern stereo type. "If you're not a redneck, you're a yankee and a northern herp derp derp derp"
lol? what i said is exactly right. i wouldn't be caught dead looking like the majority people out at the bars up north, and it's prob vice-versa for them. so how is that funny? or would you prefer for stuhly and i to continue the circular argument we've been having?
not really concerned with furthering the southern stereotype. i am what i am, and you are what you are. i assume you took me calling you a yankee as an insult
No, telling me I'm a "Yankee" b/c I don't wear wranglers and wearing nice jeans is pretty ignorant. Makes you sound stupid.
when did i say that? i called you a yankee because you said you were from the northern va beach area. your twisting my words around to formulate what you did would be like me deducing from what you said that i was furthering the stereotype by simply wearing wrangler jeans
