American Eagle. I haven't had to toss a pair of jeans for being worn out in 4 years. Things are tough as nails.
That wasn't a joke. Those pants are really over $200.narlus said:you crack me up. i'm not in the metro world, so that label meant nothing to me. how many other college students are puking on their 200 dollar pants?

'cause you like to show off the thong?manhattanprjkt83 said:I wear American Eagle low rise boot cut...ONLY
Why?....
I love how everyone acts like abercrombie is like the most $$$ crap ever...there stuff is good, and it lasts forever...shirts suck, but the jeans rock...you get what you pay for...old navy garbage falls apart real fast...i can wipe grease all over my AE jeans wash them then wear them to work day in and day out...why i would do that i have no idea...ok im done...N8 said:Anyone who buys jeans (or anything else) at Abercrombie has been pwn3d by mirage of elitism...
this argument is so tired...yeah now you have to have a slightly higher iq to buy jeans because you have more choices who cares...BikeGeek said:'cause you like to show off the thong?
Anyone remember when guy's jeans came in 2 styles...pre-washed and not? Last time I bought a pair of jeans I had to double check that I wasn't in the women's department. Boot-cut, low-rise, taper leg, relaxed, loose, slim, comfort...wtf! Hell, you can even buy them pre-ripped for a little extra $. I'm thinking of selling all my broken-in jeans for a cool ben a pair. I'll even attempt to document each stain and rip for you.

anything is better than the big baggy fad that everyone was rocking years back...i think we got alot of this metro stuff from europe, and i say to that, remember boss and jenco? leave that crap to the hip hop crowd nownarlus said:the Metro-ization of the american male is occurring at a fast clip. that is the only explanation for the plethora of jeans choices today.

Yeah, I've torn pants while running from the cops, too.punkassean said:I recently tore a large hole in my favortie jeans while ducking through some bushes in the dark.
I agree, but you must realize, that's argument is identical to "why would anyone pay for a bottle of water when you can get it from a tap for free?" Both are perplexing to me, but then again, I don't buy pre-torn pants or bottles of water.punkassean said:Why would someone pay extra for "distressed" clothes when you can get used clothes for cheap at the thrift store????

Most of it is sourced from asia and mexico, but there is a HUGE difference in jeans...the fit,wash,denim quaility,and wear...I dont understand how someone can NOT tell the difference, my only conclusion is that they have never worn a pair of good jeans...Ciaran said:I just don't understand paying 50 bucks for jeans... it's not like cotton denim fabric is expensive.
No blue oyster bar for me!!!
comfy, agreed. mine lasted for quite a while. but once they started to frey, they died a quick death.stinkyboy said:Abercrombie cargo shorts are all I own, because they're comfortable as hell.
here, they're labelled "VINTAGE!" and carry a $30 tag.captainpolution said:levi 501's
get em used from a thrift store for 4-7 dollars
Puh-lease! They're freaking jeans. You get a good design/pattern for them, you buy good denim, you have the little chinese kids make em. Even these American designers get em made overseas. And the ones that truely are made in the USA... you think there are highly paid American workers making them? Nope... illegal aliens do the sewing. Also, it's piece work so they sew them as fast as they can. So those expensive jeans that you are wearing were made by 10 illegals. And cotton denim fabric is not expensive.manhattanprjkt83 said:Most of it is sourced from asia and mexico, but there is a HUGE difference in jeans...the fit,wash,denim quaility,and wear...I dont understand how someone can NOT tell the difference, my only conclusion is that they have never worn a pair of good jeans...
How do you figure? Lots of people wear AE and Abercrombie stuff.the Inbred said:manhattanprjkt83 - RM newest metrosexual?
Most of mine are shredded, and everyone gets to see what boxer pattern I'm wearing that day. (Hot dogs and hamburgers today)the Inbred said:comfy, agreed. mine lasted for quite a while. but once they started to frey, they died a quick death.
but that label is hand-crafted by the finest tailors, using only the best, hand-picked materials. ink:Ciaran said:If you are paying 50.00 or more for jeans you are paying for the label.
Yes. You are now a metro.robdamanii said:How do you figure? Lots of people wear AE and Abercrombie stuff.
Does that make us all metro?
i had a pair like that. no button, zipper worked only half the time, view of boxer patter from the rear in 3 locations, hole in the crotch (offered another view of boxers), one leg held together with 2 safety pins, both rear pockets useless 'cause of holes. but damn were they comfortable.stinkyboy said:Most of mine are shredded, and everyone gets to see what boxer pattern I'm wearing that day.

I'm professional from the waist up.

I buy reverse osmosis water for $1-gallon because our tap here is not only nasty tasting but full of junk I don't care to consume. If you live in Tahoe or someplace with tasty clean tap and still buy bottles then you are stupid, but most places have terrible tap.Smelly said:I agree, but you must realize, that's argument is identical to "why would anyone pay for a bottle of water when you can get it from a tap for free?"

Lies! All lies!!! I know you're wearin them Wranglers with the too big belt buckle!loco said:Lee Dungarees and I got a couple of pairs of Quicksilver jeans that are comfy, but they shrunk. Oh well, I don't have anyone to impress.
I guess you don't get out in the blackcaps or thorny brush... Oh, yeah, one of them city boys...stinkyboy said:
