You're hardly the first man to spend more money than usual on clothing in order to make a woman happy (whether it's to look nice with Quiz in your engagement shoot or whether it's a single guy trying to look nice in bars or whatever). I buy most of my jeans for pretty cheap at the Gap (the pair I'm wearing right now were $35 from them online), but I've bought a couple of "nice" pairs in the $50-100 range before. Honestly, they're jeans and I'm not convinced there's much difference, even in terms of their appearance. (Contrast that with dressy shoes, where a more expensive pair might look better, feel more comfortable, and last longer.)

see, we both really want to look nice for the engagement shoot, and while I have about 4 pairs of jeans currently, none of them are worthy of an engagement shoot. So I splurged. I rarely splurge on clothes (most of my *t comes from Eagle or Target) so when I actually decided to buy a pair of expensive jeans, it was hard. But it's going to be worth it.

And yay, I started a discussion!
 
Re: TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

So, back to the original conversation, before I got confused by computer stuff, skinny jeans are basically cowboy cuts that aren't boot cut...sound pretty pointless to me.
 
Re: TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

I had a pair of $70 Lucky's once from The Buckle. Got as much with them then I do with the ones I get at Target....

Oh yeah, and they split in 6 months...

I'm working with an inventor named Yin Zhang but in my head I think of him as "Yin Yang". Is that racist?

And the people that truly look good in them are few and far between. I know better than to even try to wear those--style or not, they are not flattering.

Nice. Though, if you're going by that train of thought, do we really want any male who would wear pants like that to reproduce? Thank you, Darwinism!

I haven't shopped at Express in a while, but I would imagine they're in the $50-$60 range there.

Yep, they used to be $58 (which is why I noted I'd spend up to $60 on jeans). I would try to time my purchase for when they were on sale. In my mind they were worth the extra money because I didn't have to try on 20 different pairs to find one that fit well.

Levi's, Target. About $25-30. Even in my line of work, where there's a lot of wear and tear, they last quite a long time.
 
Re: TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

I got neg-repped for saying "Not to be a dick, but there is a club hockey forum" after a poster put up something from D-II ACHA in the D-III forum. Sweet.

And on the whole jeans thing, you can't beat a pair of Levi's. Somewhat inexpensive but durable and they look pretty **** good. To break them in one of my buddies takes a palm sander and sands the legs and crotch. Weird, but I guess it works.

The thing I'm running into with the newer Levi's is that they're wearing faster on the corners of the back pockets. I only really wear jeans on the weekends, but after about 4-5 months, I've got holes.

I've noticed this too, but for what it's worth, the Levi's I've had for the past six years show no sign of age at all. The newer ones I just wear less to increase their longevity and I wear jeans probably every day during the winter.

To corrupt all on Levi's...

You know all those rivets on jeans especially on the pockets? Well, for the Levi's brand, cowboys wore them a lot, and still do. There used to be a rivet where all the seams and fabric come together in the crotch area. When cowboys would camp for the night they would start a fire and squat down towards the fire to warm up or to cook or whatever. Well, that rivet in the crotch would get a little too warm for the cowboys down there and that is why there are no rivets down there anymore.

A lesson to be learned.

Real cowboys should have a pair of Wranglers, then it wouldn't have been a problem.

Levi's were sold for miners anyway....after Levi Strauss received the wrong fabric during their shipment and just made do with what they had. And thus a new clothing boon began.
