See to me, a nice Armani suit will never look cheap and go out of style unless you go for something drastic look. Same with a nice pair of jeans. Whatever works for you though. We all put value on different luxuries. I like nice clothes. I don't have a car in NYC and don't need one. I spend most of my fun money on travel, electronics and fashion. I'd rather do this than buy season tickets for the local NFL team.Probably right but I would never wear a sportscoat with jeans.... and to me these new "expensive" clothes look cheap.

I don't spend a ton of money on stuff, part of me wants to just go in debt like others and go on the nicer vacation, buy the TV etc etc etc. Yes I finally bought a new car after 11 years but I'll end up keeping this one for the same amount of time :stingy:

Not too bad. I usually prefer this "bulky" look with the thick sole and overall heavy feel on more athletic type of sneakers that you'd wear with jeans, and go with the more slick, simple and streamlined look when it comes to dressier/work shoes.

I like my Lucky's, and I'm as concerned about the thoughts of those who might think they're crap as I am about the thoughts of those who think I paid too much for jeans. If I find something I like, I buy it. Sometimes it's cheap. Sometimes it's expensive. Generally it's somewhere in the middle. Fortunately, my three year-old thinks everything is "cute" and I'd just as soon impress her as anybody else. For those more concerned with hunting ### than the balance in their IRA, though, I get it. Everybody has priorities. You can always make up for spent money after you're married. It's tougher to get a do-over on the other if you're not named Disco Stu.

I found them at Marshall's (that is a place that sells clothes at a lower price than regular stores. You might have driven by one at one time). Very comfortable.

Never had a problem with Levis. 501s never really fit me right, but I recognize that they're a good jean. Not as good as years past, since they've had to cut costs in order to stay in business over the past years, but they work. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that the 501s you get today are not the same quality as they were 20 years ago.Just as a point of reference, however, Levis start at around $50 and go up to $225. Hardly the $30 pair of jeans that are being mentioned around here. I believe you can get $30 Levis at WalMart, but they are a noticeable downgrade in material, and made exclusively to keep their brand in that store.I've had jeans from Urban Outfitters, Macy's, etc break down after a year. Holes in the pockets, stitching coming undone, shrinking too much, etc. Poor-wearing jeans exist all over the place.All that said, jeans have become increasingly more expensive over the years. right or wrong, it's what the market bears. There was a time when $30 really did buy you a great pair of jeans. It was just a long time ago.

Actually I bought them for about $20...over a year ago. No sign of excess wear at all. Still fit and look great. Thanks for the advice though.

Heading out to Vons right now. Wearing a pair of Old Navy (I think) cargo shorts, a t-shirt from my kid's youth football team (probably 4 years old) and a pair of flip-flops from Target. Haven't taken a shower today so I'll top it all off with my trusty Bears ball-cap. Beau Freakin Brummel.

I actually disagree. I think #1 is more unique and fashionable. #2 is cool, but that look is everywhere now and many have this type of similar jacket already.#1 seems to be somewhat inspired by the Michael Jackson "Beat It" and "Bad" jackets (without it being a literal remake)

went back for second look at #1, what is the deal with the sweet thumb glove thing? How are they going to see your rubber band if your who wrist is strapped into your jacket like that?offdee said:

I'm with JTG on this one. I like #2 much better. #1 is a little too fruity for me. It gets props for the unique design but I'd definitely go with #2. Classic look with a modern twist. You can wear that #2 jacket for the next 10 years and get lots of compliments. If you buy the first one you'll get compliments from gay men.went back for second look at #1, what is the deal with the sweet thumb glove thing?

#2 is much better than #1. (#2 is better in color black though)- Hate the color and curdoroy collar on #1
- Both look cheap to me (but aren't cheap in price)
