Shit that annoys you

when I bend over to buck hay I don't want my low back exposed and hay going down it.

tease.

Oh don't get me started on Wrangler! Forkers have totally changed my favorite work jean. Now it's "curvy." Well guess what? Some of us aren't built like Kim Kardashian and we don't like our jeans with saddle bags. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

And Carhartt thinks everyone wants to wear low rise jeans. Maybe that's okay for wearing around town but when I bend over to buck hay I don't want my low back exposed and hay going down it.

Oh no! So even Wrangler and Carhartt have conformed to the rest? So frustrating!

x1000 on the jeans. Problem is, even when I find a pair that fits, every pair of that exact jean seems to fit differently. I try on the exact same pair of jeans in the same size when at the store and each pair fits a little differently. Why is it so hard to make a pair of jeans the same every time? My routine is to go to Macy's. Grab about 15 pairs of jeans and go into the dressing room. Sometimes I find a pair, sometimes I leave empty handed.

Thus why I refuse to shop online. Such a hassle no matter what you do, though.

It has to do with how they cut the fabric. Fabric is cut in a stack which causes some variation from top piece to bottom piece or so that is what I've been told. When I buy more than one pair at time as I do with work jeans I grab all they have in my size and try them before buying as I made the mistake of just pulling them off the shelf only to find out when I got home that some where huge even though they said they were the same size and style I always buy.

Don't have a Costco here but I know people that like those.

Wrangler 47MWZ. The make a higher-rise version of it too, but I've yet to inadvertently flaunt my coin slot in the mid-rise 47MWZ. I used to be a die-hard Levis fan, until the QC started to blow. I think I have 8 pairs of 47MWZ, all 32x30 (I'm short) and they all fit the same.

Keep the spandex the fuck away from my denim too, thanks.

Jeans don't last near as long as they used to either. I seem to get holes in the back pocket and other high wear spots after 2 years. Seemed like they lasted a lot longer than that in the good old days.

The ones I like for working in are "natural rise"

Just went to the Wrangler site to find the jeans and this picture pops up:




I will never understand the torn knee look (of course I hate the open/cold shoulder look too). WTF? Why do you want to wear torn clothes? Why would you pay for torn clothes?


These are the ones I used to like before they made them curvy:

Whenever I, or one of my friends had a bad idea - which was often - one of us would usually quote that skit, or make something similar up.

Let me guess - you missed the 1st torn-jeans fad in the 80's due to being... not the target market?

95% sure that costco jeans are illegal in Boulder.

Here in Bellingham you have your everyday Carhartts (filthy), and your Sunday Carhartts.

That's for sure. The last pair of Levi's I bought literally ripped open about 6" after wearing them just a few times.

Sounds like there is more to that story.

I was in HS/college in the early/mid 80s.

Don't recall anyone wearing pre-torn jeans. I did go from hard rock to funk to new wave, vans, topsiders, izods, shoulder pads, the resurgence of tie-dye, acid wash, stirrup pants, leggins, off the shoulder tops, reemergence of the mini skirt, big hair, etc. during that time but not torn jeans. Looks like they were first on the scene in the late 80s but more prominent in the 90s/00s when heavy metal and grunge were popular. So no, by then I'd entered the work force. Torn jeans were not standard attire in law firms.

same with W2.

Went to a funeral some time back and there were many many pairs of pressed "going to town" jeans.

I’m sitting in the airport in Las Vegas, reading this thread, and when I looked up a woman was walking by in purposely torn/shredded yoga pants. I mention this so that you all can get in on the next (apparent) fashion trend.

Hardly unless being a mom means doing a man's job bucking hay, mending fences, driving a tractor, riding horses, clearing fields.....

That's just punk rock yoga.
