i would say... "Dad, these are jeans to wear everyday for years upon years, meaning I won't need to spend a cent on another pair again."

Except that you are only 14 and unless you have already reached your full growth that point is moot.

lol i love how the 2nd vid's examples of tight clothes are actually baggy compared to what the average person here wears.

I'm really glad to hear of other people's bk's stretching out so much. Gives me hope. I've subconsciously been afraid I got too small a size. (usually a 34, got a 33.) I mean, they fit GREAT right now, but that's only because when I soaked them in the tub I was wearing them. I hope they don't shrink past my being able to get in them once I actually wash them down the road.

My xx-005BK's have also stretched out quite a bit. Not sure about actual measurements, though.

How manny guys here are gay? just wondering if im straight.

Is that what you meant? Who cares?

Saying gay guys only wear certain brands is pretty stupid. I have a pair of Boot Cut rock republics and am not gay.

I agree, it's not good to pigeon-hole, but he didn't say everyone who wears those brands is gay, as you implied he did... he just said most guys who are gay wear them.

what the??? is that guy seriously gang-raping that bull dog?

i had earnest sewn's filson line dry and i'm pretty sure it didn't shrink much if any when i washed it.

I just got some pbj 005bk's from BiG and opted not to have them hemmed because I wanted some stacking. Unfortunately I'm getting a bit too much and the bottom is constantly getting dragged under my heels, even after I cuff them 2". So in order to stop this I've been cuffing them twice, but I don't like the look because of the color contrast. Any suggestions?

By the way, I also chose not to soak them. They would most likely be too tight if I did, so instead I'm going to wear them for a while to get them stretched out and then soak them, by which point they won't shrink passed where they started (according to the sales person at BiG). Should I wear them in a hot bath to narrow the lower leg without shrinking the top too much? (Everything above the stacking point is perfect right now.)

I love the variety of fading up and down the combs.

goddamn. you were you dragged by a car or something? i'm picturing that scene out of Back to the Future 3...

mmm... nice image! especially since it was on old-western dirt. home much more authentic can you get?

i was kinda flipping out, not at him but in general.

hell yeah, i would've gone on a rampage just like your avatar.

if you have a locker, could you not just change?

i could do that, but it's not uncomfortable to wear both at the same time, and i figured it would give that much more wear to them so why not?

WUUUUUUUUUUT

why would you neg me for that? i didn't come up with my company's rule that you can't be seen wearing blue jeans. on days i go to work i'm out allll day before-and-after work is over, so i always wear jeans but'll slip on a loose pair of dress pants over them that i keep in my locker. what's wrong with that?

is it generally considered bad to switch between two pairs of jeans when one of them is new?

since march, i've been wearing a pair of apc ns pretty much everyday, but i just came back from new york with a pair of pbj 005BK. i got them in black since i'm really curious to see how bk's fade first-hand, and also because my work doesn't allow blue jeans (i still wear the apc's... just with a loose pair of pants over them). anyway, i'm really tempted to start wearing the pbj's now, but i've had the apc's for 2 months already and don't want to ditch them all of a sudden. should i...

1) continue wearing only the apc's until after their first wash, thus giving them some closure...

2) wear the pbj's on work days (4-5 days a week) and wear the apc's the rest of the time...

3) drop the apc's altogether...?

Try cheap monday.........

Great idea! You could get 4 crappy pairs for $250 instead of 1 good pair, and end up wearing them all out in the same amount of time you would've spent on the 1 good pair....

I was relaxing outside earlier today reading Salem's Lot by Stephen King, when an old man, apparently homeless, walked by wearing the most perfectly worn jeans I've ever seen. As people here have acknowledged before, even crappy walmart brand jeans can sometimes deliver results on par with the most venerated examples seen on this forum. This man's jeans were a testament to that. He must have lived and slept in them for at least five years. He had a pretty standard wallet fade on them, but the honeycombs were really something special. I'm not going to try and describe them, but they were beautiful, simply beautiful. I actually got up and started following him. In my mind, I was turning over different ways I could somehow buy them from him or trade another pair of my pants for them. My downstairs neighbor always leaves a huge bag of bottles outside his door, which might have made for a good bartering tool, also. My apartment was only a few blocks away and he had a pretty slow pace (probably making my following somewhat obvious now that I think about it), so I figured he wasn't in a rush anywhere and wouldn't mind coming to my place. However, I came to my senses and didn't do anything. I just tried to make a strong mental note of how they looked since it's likely I'll never again see such a perfect pair of jeans in my life. Anyway, it would have been much too creepy and dangerous to bring him to my apartment, even if I were to have him wait downstairs or in the hall. Actually, it would probably be more creepy to him than to me. He'd probably think I was like Patrick Bateman from American Psycho and wanted to kill him or something (Damn it! That actually would have been the best option, then I'd have the jeans for free. Of course, I would have to find a way to dispose of the body...). Don't get me wrong, I realize this description of merely considering approaching him is way creepy already.

rome1, very nice! I really the patch, especially the "pucker" wrinkle under the design, like a little asterisk.

I cant even wear jeans where i work. Khaki pants.. ugh

Yeah, I'm not allowed to either. I hate it. But I usually just keep a loose pair of khakis in my locker at work and put them on over my jeans.

lmaozedong, what shoes are those? I thought they looked like jack purcells, but without the smiley on the toe. Am I right? Sorry for ignoring your question and giving you another one instead, don't know anything about skulls though. Thanks.

right now i'm just working on a pair of wrangler 936's and some diesels i found at a thrift store a few years back.

You're "working" on a pair of diesels? I'm not dissing the fact thay you wear diesels, but "working" is a bit different, don't ya think?

I love that weird feeling of switching jeans, especially to new ones. Kinda like using a new toothbrush.

Also, I +repped you earlier. Hopefully that helped some.

yeah i know... nice american eagle jeans btw

He already explained in the evo thread that the american eagles are his neighbor's. Billy took the picture...

So... fish nets are same as honeycombs just longer and more narrowly spaced? Does it only happen on skinnier jeans?
