What are U Wearing 2-day?

New pair of Wrangler jeans I got yesterday. My old jeans (some cheap brand) were totally worn out and unpresentable.

I should have got what I have on my ages ago - they're a perfect fit, snug without being tight or uncomfortable.

killer b: the last time I got a pair of 501s, I discovered all too quickly that the material was really flimsy (virtually transparent) and that the cut was really odd, apparently made for those crazy young people who wear their jeans with the arse down around their knees. Was that your experience, or are you one of those people who only wear vintage?

Mainline levis have been shit for years, I mostly wear models from the Levis Vintage Clothing range, which Levis set up to reproduce the cut and quality of their jeans from when they weren't shit. Unfortunately over the last few years they've gone from 'expensive' to 'eyewateringly expensive', but you can still occasionally get lucky in the sales (I noticed these the other day, which are great value - but be warned, these are a repro of a 19th century cut, and are apparently quite baggy in the arse).

The flimsiness of modern jeans is down to them mostly being pre-distressed: you can still get mainline shrink-to-fit 501s in the states (which are apparently still pretty good), but they aren't regularly available here.

Interesting, thanks for that. For years I used to swear by the Trader jeans Debenhams did, but the last time I went to a Debenhams they told me they don't do them anymore.
 
My mate once bought a pair of jeans from Harvey Nicks that were the price of a month's rent on my Hackney studio flat :oops: Idiot. His granny had to die for him to get a handle on his credit card.
 
Thankfully no. If I weren't self-conscious I would never wear a bra. Awful things when your tits are weird and don't cooperate. So I limit their use to when I absolutely have to leave the house, or if I'm expecting guests. *sigh* I wish society had never turned down the road of giving a shit about stuff like this.
 
Couldn't find any of my hair grips this morning :mad:

But what's this? Why have I never thought of this before? :confused: So yeah i'm wearing these pegs and some clothes.
