Wrangler Jeans - Now I get it (1 Viewer)

Had to run out to get medicine for my daughter. I thought of you guys. Wranglers AND my American Giant greatest hoodie ever.

How many ####### jeans do you need?

I wear dress slacks or khakis all week.

weekends it's sweats or addidas type pants

my typical week.

work m to friday.

Change into coaching clothes for softball or basketball

Saturday same thing

sunday golf

if we go out I'll throw on jeans
your life is identical every Monday through Sunday?
for the most part. You got kids that play sports you keep on scheduleonce winter hits no golf :shrug:

the wife and i have nights out or a party that shows up. I think that'd how most people roll :shrug:
It is. Nothing wrong with it. I'm one of the feminine expensive jeans guys but none of my buddies are. I still don't spend what some spend on jeans but it's a little more than most. I don't go over $70 for a pair of jeans. Still high but not too ridiculous.

If you are ever going to establish who the man in the family is, I think this is the issue you are going to have to take a stand on. Go out and buy a pair of Wranglers and wear them around the house once a week.
Establish I'm the man by showing her that I'm in charge of men's fashion? :confused:
He's saying you need to wear the pants. I think.
I do. The ones she buys me.
She's not your mom. And you're not 10. She shouldn't be dressing you. IMO
Who am I dressing up for? Her. I want to look good for her. Not anyone else. So why not wear what she thinks I look good in? :shrug:
:lmao:
Laugh all you want. I'm 40 years old and have had many hot girlfriends almost my whole life. If I could do it all over, I wouldn't change a thing.
Sheik, I enjoy your threads/posts around here, you are a pillar of this community from what I've seen over the past year, you seem like a sincere, caring dude :nohomo:. I was laughing at the mindset of your post. That the only reason to dress sharp or look good is for your woman. Do it for yourself. When you look good you feel good. That confidence radiates onto everyone who crosses your path each day. Men want to do business with you, hang out with you. Women want to bang you, or think about that badass Sheik when they dig out their vibrators. The world is a better place. Whether she buys your clothes or you do it yourself is irrelevant.

 
I buy most of my own clothes, but I happen to be Polish and thus have very little fashion sense. When my wife buys me stuff, it's almost always better than what I would have picked out, and she got a great deal on it, and it makes her want my dong when I look good. Win-win.
Bro, you're Polish? Me too! My last name has two 'z's and ends with 'ski'.

And believe it or not, if you're tuned properly, it's entirely possible to feel and radiate this confidence even without doilies on your jean pockets or Ed Hardy shirts.

Asking her opinion is fine, but giving her that much control feels dicey.

Women tend to like it when their partner is a man. Having her dress you seems childlike. :2cents:
I've never had a woman complain. In fact, they tend to like it. :shrug:
They won't complain about it to you, just to their girlfriends. And maybe someday to the random guy they bang. #pillowtalk

Zzski? :confused:

No worries, GB.

But my point is that I have no fashion sense. Or care to. So if I dressed myself, I'd look like an idiot.

Again, in 40 years that has never happened to me. I think it's funny that some of you need nice clothes to keep a woman happy.

Ok, nevermind... that wasn't the point at all. GL.

Not sure what your point is then, GB. You're telling me that if I don't dress nicely my woman will cheat on me. Or did I read it wrong? :confused:

 
If you can't trust someone with whom you share a totally made up fake last name with to buy you jeans, who can you trust?

I wasn't telling you to dress nicely. I was telling you to dress yourself. Like any grownup should.

You can stay at home and watch sports or you can go clothes shopping. I'm amazed that so many people on this board would pick the latter. :lol:

Why can't you do both? Go shopping after work during the week when sports isn't on tv. So many excuses.
I have other things to do. Going clothes shopping is not something I need to do. I'm guessing you're probably fancy enough that you get manicures and pedicures too, right?

No. I just know it's easy to run out and do some quick shopping from time to time. I have a few stores I like and I'm kind of an impulse buyer, so I don't waste a lot of time unless the chicks helping me are hot.

I cant believe there are people that let their wives buy clothes for them. I mean, sure, she goes out to a store and wants to do something nice, so she buys you a pair of pants or a shirt, cool. But your wife buys all your clothes for you? That is seriously ####ed.
I wish my wife bought all my clothes.

I'd look like an incredibly stylish gay rockstar.

ok... maybe I don't wish my wife bought all my clothes.
ok, dammit.

Now I'm in the mood to dress like a fabulous gay rockstar.

I have no favorite clothing stores. I wouldn't put down a man who likes to go shopping but some guys aren't into it. It's not like my wife is picking out my home theater gear or buying tools.

 
Yeah, this isn't complicated. Let the person that cares more and/or makes the best decisions do it.

Women have been doing the clothes shopping for the family for a long, long time. If you stay more current on the latest :style: trends than the ol' lady, and gain some pleasure out of shopping, knock yourself out. But I assure you, better men than you or me have just worn whatever the hell the misses brought home.

Or do it online while you watch sports, since you're not trying the clothes on anyway.
A lot harder to return stuff that way. And I'm still not sure what you don't get about the fact that I have no style, nor care to get any on my own.

 
I hardly ever go to brick and morter stores for clothes shopping anymore...almost all online. Can find much better :style: and selection than in malls. And returns are a breeze these days...much more convenient than driving to store, parking, waiting in line, etc. Just slap a return label on the package that was sent to you and throw it in the mail.

 
I have no clue what they are, other than jeans. Not sure I've ever seen them, although who knows. But as a guy watching NFL football games, I see these commercials over and over again. With guys like Brees and Favre promoting them.

Being the sucker for advertising that I am, I watch them talk about how they are made with a U design instead of a V design and I think, "Hmmm. That makes sense." Yes. I'm a gullible idiot.

I turn to my GF and say, "Hey....", and before I can say another word she says, "No."

This intrigues me. She goes on to say that there is no way in hell she will ever allow me to wear Wrangler Jeans. But to be honest, I had never planned to wear them. I was just going to ask her if she thought there was any truth to the U design thing being a real thing.

But it gets me thinking. Brees seems like a cool guy. And Favre is totally a man's man. I picture him working in his yard and chopping down trees. You know. Manly stuff. So why are these things bad? Granted, I have no fashion sense. I've worn two different pairs of shoes to work so many times, I've lost count.

But I can't stop thinking about these jeans. They are like the forbidden fruit to me now. "You can wear any jeans you want. Just not Wranglers."

So I watch the commercials closely and I don't see anything wrong with them. Brees is strolling through New Orleans high fiving people eating at outdoor cafes. They look fine to me. :shrug:

So what's the deal with these things? I always say jeans are becoming less comfortable nowadays. So much so that on Casual Workdays, I still prefer to wear slacks because the jeans aren't very comfortable. I just want to know why there's such hatred for these things? Anyone own a pair?
I don't think they're marketing Brees as a "cool guy". I think they're marketing him as a "fun dad" or something to that effect. They show him in the park with a family, walking down the street, etc. Favre - man's man.

Either way, Wrangler does not = cool

 
I'm afraid my Wrangler experience is over... I tried.

New pair came in today and the waist was good, but I was walking on the bottoms.. had to "cuff" them like I was 12.

Weird sizing... Every pair of jeans I own are 33/32... the first pair of Wranglers I ordered this size, I couldn't even zip them up.

Ordered 34/32 and the waist was good, but the length was way long.. held them up to my 33/32 Levi's and they were 3" longer..

Oh well... Sorry Brett and Drew Brees... I tried..

 
Was cleaning out a closet this weekend and found a pair of never worn Wrangler jorts my mom gave me a couple of years ago. Made me think of this thread. Thanks mom.

 
Not sure why some guys think it is so important to buy their own clothes. My wife likes shopping and buying my clothes. It is not like I ever demanded that it work this way. I never even really thought about it. Over the years, she just took over buying the clothes. She is better at it. If she buys something that doesn't fit or I do not like, she takes it back. She doesn't mind that either.

Shopping sucks. I appreciate my wife for buying my clothes and always thank her for doing that for me.

Put on your lucchese boots and they will fit just fine.

My wife does this too.

Gives me more time to watch games and drink beer. Not sure what the problem is.

Apparently not shopping for clothes makes you less of a man. It's like Bizarro world. :crazy:

 
I live in a college town. The stores are full of 20 year old coeds running around in yoga pants. Get out a little and enjoy the sights.
