How much do you spend on a pair of jeans?

[Sassy]

This is insane! ...and these are Levi's!

http://www.levisstore.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=2071062&cp=2078893

...and what's "Capital E" levi's ???

[Los Broncos]

Wow, i spend a average of forty or fifty. But i go to Ross and other places and find some decent deals.

[Sassy]

I bought a couple pairs of Levi's at Kohl's last year...I think they were $30 each...Dang...even Calvin Klein and Tommy aren't that expensive! (60-70 and up...)

My sister loves Ross! We don't have them here, though.

[Pendejo]

5 or 6 bucks.

There's a pair of I'm willing to drop 2 Benjamins on. They have jeans upwards of $400+.

It's all about the ladies & whatever works to get into their True Religion jeans.Hilarious!

When tommys first came out i think they were only like 70, now you can get a pair for cheap.

[Sassy]

Nope. Not in women's you can't...The cheapest is 70 bucks a pair...40 for shorts.
I don't call that cheap!

[maven]

When tommys first came out i think they were only like 70, now you can get a pair for cheap.

They are of yesteryear.

Stay away from tommy, nautica, polo, etc. It's all about the new denim brands.

[Los Broncos]

Nope. Not in women's you can't...The cheapest is 70 bucks a pair...40 for shorts.

Ahh ok, i still have a pair from back in the day, dont remember how much i paid, maybe 70 then.

[maven]

Nope. Not in women's you can't...The cheapest is 70 bucks a pair..!

$70 bucks for a pair of women's jeans? You cheap bastard! You need to drop atleast $200.

[Los Broncos]

They are of yesteryear.

Stay away from tommy, nautica, polo, etc. It's all about the new denim brands.

Right, i still buy and wear nautica.

[Sassy]

Nah...not this girl...
I am not paying $100 for a pair of Lucky jeans.
Well...I guess I haven't tried a pair on...and I will pay more if they fit well, but I have good luck with Tommy and Calvin.
But thoses prices...That's just crazy.

[maven]

Nah...not this girl...
I am not paying $100 for a pair of Lucky jeans.
That's just crazy.

I also like Lucky on women. True Religion, Seven, Chip & Pepper. So sexy!;)

[maven]

Right, i still buy and wear nautica.

I hope you're not single.8')

[Los Broncos]

I hope you're not single.8')

Im not at the moment, right now i cant afford to drop 200 on a pair or i would.

[Sassy]

I have never heard of Chip and Pepper.

http://www.chipandpepper.com/store/productimages/thumbs/1005_thumb.jpg

Cute...but $191! No thanks.
You can get the same thing for a lot less.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

$12 for Kirklands at Costco. Fit like Levis and work just fine when working in the yard or hiking in the hills.

[maven]

I have never heard of Chip and Pepper.

Damn, girl! They make great jeans for women. Maybe I know this crap because of where I live. I don't know your shape, but high quality jeans on a girl is damn sexy.

[Sassy]

So tell me this...how are the $200+ jeans more "sexy" than the 70 dollar ones...and isn't it more about the body that goes into them that makes them that way!

[Sassy]

BTW...looking at that same site...$100 bucks and up for kid's jeans! That's even more insane. They'll be out of them in 2-3 months! At least adults can wear them until they wear out...or gain or lose weight ;D

[Taco John]

I wouldn't pay more than $30 for a pair of Levis. Though, now that I think about it, I haven't owned a pair of Levis in almost ten years.

I generally pay about $40-$50 for a pair of jeans. I paid a little more for this boss pair of RocaWear jeans I found. So damned comfortable.

Honestly, though, I hate wearing denim. I like to wear hiker pants from REI. Northface, Columbia Wear, Mountain Hardware... You can get some good grubbies at REI.

[Los Broncos]

Ok, if you're 500lbs well...

High quality jeans though a bit pricey, look a hell of a lot better than say Kirkland or say Levi's. It's about the design & shape of the jeans. They fit & mold to the body better & improve on imperfections of the women's body. Jeans purchased via Levi's, Express, Gap, etc are clearly not a good as jeans from higher vendors.

OT: No two jeans are exactly alike. If you try one that doesn't fit, try another that is the same size.

[Meck77]

I stopped buying levis. They get trashed too easily. Carhartt is the way to go. Not exactly cheap either but much better quality IMO.

[Sassy]

Just a guess...but I'm guessing it's the "young, single" guys on here that are buying the more spendy brand names!

Nah...not even close to 500 lbs! Ha!
Anyway...I'm just saying although I like jeans that fit well, sometimes the less expensive brands work just as well (and by "less" I mean under $100)...I have better things to spend my money on than buying $200+ jeans. More expensive isn't always better quality. (BTW...I've had more compliments on my $30 jeans than more expensive ones...and it has to do with what your comfortable in and what fits you best not the price tag or brand name.)

Jeans are my cup of tea going out. You can pair it with a polo, long sleeve, and or sport jacket. When I go out I must look immaculate. There's women to be had.

[scttgrd]

$14.99 for Wranglers at Target. There is no A** special enough to spend hundreds of dollars on pants. Just my humble opinion, cotton is cotton. I don't care how you arrange it it still ends up as denim.

[Los Broncos]

Ill spend that 200 hundred on some bronco tickets.

[epicSocialism4tw]

You are paying for the name above anything else. You can usually find something similar for quite a bit less.

Here's the trick...

Wait to get your spring/summer clothes until the end of the third quarter. You can find designer clothing at a great price. Get your winter/fall lothes during the after-Christmas clearance sales. Ask for gift cards for Christmas, and you can get more than triple what the card is worth in merch.

I score great deals that way every year. I got a $1000 leather jacket for $150 one year, I got an official Oklahoma Sooners jersey for 5$ (I bought one for every sooner fan I know...I think I sold them out ;D ), I get Columbia sportswear for in the $4-$20 range, expensive MTB gear, training wear, shoes, you name it...all for less than 20% of their original costs.

It's a beautiful thing. :thumbs:

No problemo. Just letting you know the expense paid is somewhat worth it. Is it worth dropping the extra benjamins? It's in the eye of the beholder. But, high quality denim on women IMO makes a huge difference. Much more sexy, they tend to hide imperfections better which is a good thing in regards to women. And I'm not referring to the brand, but they do a MUCH better job fitting women into gorgous jeans.

[Kaylore]

I'm having Deja vu. I was on another forum for gaming many years ago and a thread was started the same way. Then this guy chimed in and started talking about how he gets all the ladies because he buys the best clothes and ladies won't judge a man if his clothes aren't really expensive. I'm sure some women are like that, but none of them are ones I want to date. Pretty crazy how some people put so much stock in what you wear.

[Los Broncos]

You have to keep an eye on the sales. There is plenty of merch out there and the price drops really fast. They want that merch out of the store. Be ready to check out the sales pretty quickly when that time comes around.

[Sassy]

Now comparing high end to say Levi's. That's crap. Regardless of season, there are definately deals to be had. You can find them. Lucky's typically have 50% blowout every few months which is essentially $50 bucks a pair. I agree with shopping for deals. Sometimes you can & cannot wait. Yes, there are deals to be had, but you cannot compare crap denim to quality denim. Lucky's are good quality, but certainly not high end. I really like the True Religion jeans. And yes there are deals to be had on them.

[Sassy]

Just curious...where are Lucky and True Religion Made?

Good clothes and looking good is half the battle. If a woman is attracted to you before you've said a word, you're halfway there Kaylore.

I don't agree with that. I'm going to judge on personality and a neat appearance not on if they are wearing a expensive name brand jean.
You can look good and not dress expensively...

I honestly cant justify spending that much on jeans...or any casual clothing for that matter. I see people everyday who cant buy the medicines to keep themselves alive. People who go out to pasture to die because they cant afford surgery and dont have anyone to pull strings for them. Jeans just dont seem very important in that light and its something that I see in multiple cases every day.

Soon enough, the only thing I'll have to buy will be lab coats and some scrubs. That'll be the day! Then I will only need the dinner-schmooze repetoire to be updated and its all good.

[maven]

Just curious...where are Lucky and True Religion Made?

True Religion is made in the USA. Most likely LA. Your high-end jeans are typically made in LA. Not sure off the top of my head regarding Lucky's.

[Sassy]

Who we are…

True Religion Brand Jeans was established in December of 2002 to take denim in a refreshing new direction. The Los Angeles based premium denim company has become known for its intense attention to detail: from the fashion-forward seams, to the remarkable embroidery and innovative hand-sanded vintage washes, True Religion Brand Jeans has distinguished itself as a leader in the high-end denim market for men, women and kids. The line also includes a myriad of colored corduroy pants, skirts, shirts, shorts, jackets, blazers, hoodies, T-shirts and everything in between.

Based in LA...I'm guessing their jeans are made in a variety of other countries...just like most are.

[maven]

I don't agree with that. I'm going to judge on personality and a neat appearance not on if they are wearing a expensive name brand jean.
You can look good and not dress expensively...

Personality is phase 2. Phase 1 is looking as best as possible whether it's $20 or $200 pair of jeans. You will most likely not notice it. But, if a man feels better & looks better in the more expensive jeans he'll certainly rock it. Phase 1 is the most important. You look damn good, the woman will have somewhat of an interest.

Hey, I'm proud to be in phase 1!Ha! I am still going out to bars/clubs & experiencing & learning about women.:spit: No matter the outing, I plan to look damn good for whatever the occasion that may arise. That includes going to Mcdonald's, going to the mall, appearing at a broncos game, etc.Ha!

[SoCalBronco]

Jeans...ugh.

Haven't worn them in about 14 years and I probably will never wear them again...I can't stand even jean shorts.

[ColoradoDarin]

The last pair of jeans I bought are J. Crew Vintage Boot Cut. They rock. I wouldn't have paid the $90 for them except I had a gift card, but when they wear out, I'm ponying up the $$$ for them - never owned a better pair of jeans. I have a couple of $10 Arizona jeans from JC Penny for working in the yard.

I dress better now that I'm married than I ever did while I was single (she's much more fashionable than me, but I think I spend more on clothes now). The best time to buy is the end of January, I got some great deals this year.

[CBF1]

Button fly 501's for $25ish works for me.

I agree with Maven, there are jeans and there are JEANS. I got several pairs of sevens, diesels and true religion. The quality and style is alot better. I stop buying lower end jeans just because it doesn't fit as nice.

If you can find like a saks 5th off, true religion are from $130-$180. Diesels and sevens are even cheaper.

Also, a female looks alot better in designer jeans than say a pair of levis. A pair of sevens can do wonders for a the average female.

[Taco John]

GL to you. Phase 1 will always exists. It's just temporarily burried.



Nah... Phase 1 is short lived, and in hindsight seems silly.

I stopped wearing clothes to attract women about the time that I realized that the kind of women who are attracted to guys based on the clothes that they wear are about as shallow as they come and not really worth my time. About the time I decided that I'm not a peacock and stopped caring about chasing women is when almost magically, true genuine women who were actually worth investing myself with started to appear.

Whatever phase 1 is, it's buried and gone forever, thankthelord... I wear what's comfortable. If it happens to look good, all the better...

[watermock]

Button fly 501's for $25ish works for me.

There ya go. Wrangler zippers are quite good for around 18. This 100 dollar jean talk amuses me.

501's are the best jeans ever made. Ole mock will tell you a story for the chipmunke. When the 49'rs were on their knees they kept tearing up their pants when they kneeled in the sand panning. Levi Straus took some canvas fabric and fashoned dungarees.

[kappys]

$50-60 bucks a pair is the top end for me, usually I can find a good pair for $40.

Personally I like Calvin Klein jeans. Certianly not top endc but they fit me almost perfectly and the denim is very smooth. Feels almost like wearing a pair of nice pants.

I think the key is finding a pair that fits well over anything else. Deisel makes nice jeans apparently, but I look like a fool in them and would never buy a pair.

[Dr. Broncenstein]

What is more gay than grown men name-dropping brand names of clothing?

Nothing.

Jeebus, I can't believe this kind of thing actually matters to a guy.

My favorite jeans are the ones that are "clean" as in not overtly dirty to the casual observer. It also helps if I can actually button the waist. Bonus if I have a little room in the waist.

Is it gay to look good? Is it gay to know what your buying? Hate to break the news, but there is more to life than who did the Broncos draft in the 4th round.

I notice on diesels that the cheaper ones are ugly. If your looking for nice jeans for a cheaper price, try guess. They are high quality with a decent fade.

[gunns]

Nah...not even close to 500 lbs! Ha!
Anyway...I'm just saying although I like jeans that fit well, sometimes the less expensive brands work just as well (and by "less" I mean under $100)...I have better things to spend my money on than buying $200+ jeans. More expensive isn't always better quality. (BTW...I've had more compliments on my $30 jeans than more expensive ones...and it has to do with what your comfortable in and what fits you best not the price tag or brand name.)

Absolutely. If a guy doesn't like the brand name on my levi's, see ya, I don't need ya. It is the body you put into them, not the price or brand name. I'll be damned before I pay a fortune on anything to attract a guy. Either he is or he isn't.

[alkemical]

Just a guess...but I'm guessing it's the "young, single" guys on here that are buying the more spendy brand names!

Uh - I wouldn't say that Sassy.

I won't spend beyond $40 for a pair of jeans. If i want to dress up, i'll buy dress up clothes.

That being said i do have some very very very nice suits, but i won't spend it on jeans.

[Beantown Bronco]

How good a girl looks WHILE wearing jeans means nothing if her ass looks like a cottage cheese factory OUT of them....I'll take a girl that looks decent in and out of a $20-$40 pair of jeans as opposed a girl who has to pay over $100 to attempt to make her @ss look good any day.

[Sassy]

I've never even heard of some of these brands until now...and while I have seen a few pairs of Lucky's in Macy's...Chip and Pepper and Seven aren't even availalbe (if I was willing to spend the dough...) here unless I go online.

I just can't see paying $200 and up.
However, I will spend more on a good pair of shoes.
Since, for the most part, cheaper ones tend to hurt my feet.

Seriously, are these jeans really better quality...or are you saying that because of the "name" and because people tell you they are. LA and NY can get away with that type of Marketing...they'll sell them to celebs making them believe they really are better...but are they really?

Comfort and style wise...I still like my skinny levi's.

Yep..got a coupla pairs m'self.

[clarkster]

only thing expensive jeans on a woman tells me is that shes too high maintenance for me. besides, its getting them out of the jeans thats more important. they all look the same crumpled up in the corner if you ask me...

[clarkster]

as for myself, i have guidelines. i wont spend any more than 20 on jeans, 10 on a shirt(button up camp or something, if its a t shirt, it better be like 5) but shoes...ill drop a 100 on shoes without even thinking about it
of course this may be why ive never had great luck with women. or its that im an asshole.

Nothing wrong with liking nice clothes. I understand where you are coming from though some men just throw on whatever and it doesn't matter to them. Others like to have nice stuff that is in style or whatever. I still am in the camp though that only liking other men makes you gay, but hey whatever go put on your toughskins and hush puppies and have a nice day.

Wranglers can be had for under 20 and they a fine quality and good fit. Are we talking about jeans or dresses? When I see some vain dude in Calvin Clein girlie pants I snicker.

Button 501's are my favorite but Wranglers are basically the same thing. It's just more fun to have your jeans unbuttoned before well...you know, letting the snake loose to get a warm bath.

[Los Broncos]

only thing expensive jeans on a woman tells me is that shes too high maintenance for me. besides, its getting them out of the jeans thats more important. they all look the same crumpled up in the corner if you ask me...

I agree there, i cant afford a thin, hot chick anyways.

[SleepingTiger]

Absolutely. If a guy doesn't like the brand name on my levi's, see ya, I don't need ya. It is the body you put into them, not the price or brand name. I'll be damned before I pay a fortune on anything to attract a guy. Either he is or he isn't.


I would never look for a name brand and judge someone. Its just i see how good it looks then notice what type of jeans they are. It just so happens that the higher end jeans look that much nicer.

If you don't have that hollywood body and can find a pair a jeans that make you look great without having to pay premium price, good for you. The only problem is those jeans don't exist.

[SleepingTiger]

I've never even heard of some of these brands until now...and while I have seen a few pairs of Lucky's in Macy's...Chip and Pepper and Seven aren't even availalbe (if I was willing to spend the dough...) here unless I go online.

I just can't see paying $200 and up.
However, I will spend more on a good pair of shoes.
Since, for the most part, cheaper ones tend to hurt my feet.

Seriously, are these jeans really better quality...or are you saying that because of the "name" and because people tell you they are. LA and NY can get away with that type of Marketing...they'll sell them to celebs making them believe they really are better...but are they really?

Comfort and style wise...I still like my skinny levi's.

Why don't you go to saks fith or a neiman marcus and try on a pair. Let yourself be the final judge.

You don't have to pay more than $200. Sevens are perfect and they are from $140 and up. I always see them at saks 5th off for under $100. Make sure you dont mix up 7 and seven for mankind.

[RkyMtnThunder]

IMO guys who feel they need to drop this kind of coin on clothing in order to get some trim

- got no game

Thinking expensive clothes is what will make you appealing to a woman - come on, you cant see how pathetic that is?

Stinking of desperation!

[gunns]

Nah... Phase 1 is short lived, and in hindsight seems silly.

I stopped wearing clothes to attract women about the time that I realized that the kind of women who are attracted to guys based on the clothes that they wear are about as shallow as they come and not really worth my time. About the time I decided that I'm not a peacock and stopped caring about chasing women is when almost magically, true genuine women who were actually worth investing myself with started to appear.

Whatever phase 1 is, it's buried and gone forever, thankthelord... I wear what's comfortable. If it happens to look good, all the better...

Now this man speaks the truth.

[penguintheory]

I only wear jeans, so, one or two bills isn't too much to spend on the only thing I wear, really.

[penguintheory]

I would never look for a name brand and judge someone. Its just i see how good it looks then notice what type of jeans they are. It just so happens that the higher end jeans look that much nicer.


They're also really, really comfortable. If you're doing manual labor or work, where you're actually utilizing the "toughness" factor of denim, then don't buy expensive jeans, but if you just like the style... well, comfort is tops on my list

[alkemical]

So then why bother?

I got a lesson for ya. Take those jeans to the pawn shoppe and see what you can get back for them. Alot of us don't have a hollywood body. So then again, why bother.

It reminds me of my one little cousin - who determines the value of people based upon what clothes they wear. He has no definition of "who" he "is". I ask him "who are you" - and it's everything he owns for image factor.

Sad.....

[yerner]

I pay alot but I like mine extra tight everywhere. I want them basically painted on.

[Swedish Extrovert]

I paid $160 for my last pair of Kenneth Coles.
My Armanis I paid $140 for

Those are probably the most I've ever paid for jeans.

I got a deal on my Fcuk's don't remember how much.

I got my Izod's, my Guess, and two pair of Aeropostale at wholesale prices so...

Ridiculous I know, but most of it was paid for by other people :D

I want a pair of Cheap Monday jeans - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10653030/

I'm going to get some next time I'm in Sweden again.

NO Saks or Neiman Marcus here...My point is...you can find quality and jeans that fit just as well and not blow $200 and up a pair...that's insane! I'd rather buy $50 jeans and use the other $150 for a Bronco ticket or a night in a nice hotel or a great meal. My POINT IS....that amount of money is something I can find a better use for.

I also don't consider $70 jeans CHEAP! LOL!

...BTW...those of you that do buy the spendy jeans...are you also the ones that compllain about gas being over $3 a gallon? :P

[Blueflame]

By "higher end" jeans, I suspect the reference is "Brazilian cut".... and you can find that type of jeans for less $$ on ebay... just do a search for "Brazilian".

[bendog]

somehow I think a "brazillian cut" would make my ass look fat.

I spend more money on shoes then jeans. Can we morph this into what shoes we by? ok thanks here I go. For sneakers I love Reebok, Sketchers, Addidas, Vans, Converse. For Boots I like Dr Martens, I have a great pair of Allesandros that were a gift. Then for dress shoes I have 2 pairs lol, both Allen Edmonds.

Jeans with Sassay in them. I would run the check card aganist the wall.

[cutthemdown]

I would suggest to a cross dresser like yourself to look into some inexpensive heels. Your fat ass will just be breaking them all the time anyways no reason to waste money. That is unless it's your man buying them for you then by all means you should. But to answer your question no they only make mens shoes so you will have to look elsewhere for your type.

[Blueflame]

Ha! you crack me up Bendog! LOL!

I have never heard of Brazillian Cut Jeans...thongs yes, jeans no!

According to the advertising, each pair is handmade... they're very low-rise (ride very low on the hips) and the way they're cut tends to "push up" and enhance the tush.

A couple of examples:

Why a pawn shop? Just do a search on ebay and you will see how much people pay for them. I sold my old pair of sevens for $107.

You don't get my point, its because alot of women don't have that hollywood body is why they wear designer jeans. They give you that hollywood body.

Again, I dont determine the value of people for what they wear. I based it on how they wear it. If you can find a cheap pair that looks nice, good for you. Good luck on finding it though.

Not true... its all about where you put your priorities. Would you dish out several thousand for season tickets at a Broncos game or you can buy 10 pair of real nice jeans that you will be wearing for the next 3-4yrs.
Then you can be at a bar watching the game and have the guys drolling over your hot bod! :~ohyah!:

This is not buying a car or house people. How much do you spend on a suit, pair of shoes or even a night out.
Hell, I see highschool students wear $200 dollar nikes all the time. Don't tell me adults can't find $150 in their budget to buy a pair of jeans.

Like i said, go to nordstroms and try out a pair.... nobody says you have to buy it... just try it. Then judge it for yourself and see if its really worth $150.

YOu really don't get it...I DON'T WANT to spend money on jeans when I could spend it on other things that are more IMPORTANT/Enjoyable for me. If my guy can't like me for what I am or how I look without an expensive pair of jeans, then I don't need him...he's not what I'm looking for anyway!

Like I said...I have no desire to even try them on EVEN if I had a store here that carried them. I would much rather spend money on Bronco tickets! Ha!


High school students...hmmm mom and dad buying them...or even if they do have a job...gee, I'm guessing they may not have the bills adults do...ya think?

;D Reminds me of my son after he became a teenager. We always did a once a year school shopping in august to get ready for the new school year. Well all of the sudden that wasn't good enough. He wanted to start doing a spring shopping spree so that he could be "stylin" thru the summer. And of course this was to include a very expensive pair of shiny new sneakers.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/REB65/Smileyroflmao.gif

Yea right. Guess you'll be looking for part time work this summer wont ya son?:rofl:

Now that he's 20 and is a full time student with a part time job, has a car payment, car insurance, gas and credit card bill to pay for himself while we continue to feed him and pay his way thru college he doesn't spend very much on clothes. Funny how that happens when all the sudden it's your own money ;D

I have some Air Nike's that were on sale for 40 bucks and have been thru swamp, worn every day and won't die for 3 years. Nike product really varies. I've bought some that fell apart right away. I don't really care since they have virtual slave labor in Vietnam, but it was a good deal. Doesn't matter that much cause it's a virtual cerainty that the sneaker your wearing came from the far east. China, Singapore, Vietnam, ect.
My Yamaha drum set was made in...nope not Japan...Indonesia. My mom still laughs about when as a little kid I went down to the locker, (yes, where you could take a live pig and get it chopped up) in a tiny town. I remember getting in with Gramps in his old 53 Chevy to deliver eggs there too. I'm rambling. Anyway, I bought these salt and pepper chickens where you shook the egg. In my genious, I proclaimed "They are IMPORTED!" Made in Japan! Ha! This had to be around 65.

hahaha, make no mistake, i like when a woman looks good in jeans, but to really get me going, shes gotta look good in a skirt/dress/shorts.
like i said they all look the same crumpled up in the corner, and frankly when i was in the market, that was the whole point.
also, if a woman needs 150 jeans to look good, thats an expensive ass.
if a woman pulls it off in 20$ pants, im sold

its absurd to me to spend 150 on pants. whatever. each their own i guess.

Having been a mortgage broker/ Realtor for the better part of a decade I've spent A LOT of time working thru people's bad credit issues. This is a broad general statement and it doesn't apply to everyone but I've found that people who spend excess money on superficial things ie $200 jeans generally charge them and have really bad credit. They don't learn the consequences of having $8,000 credit card bills, $20,000 car loans, and renting for $1,200 month until they see that "dream home" they want to buy.


Only problem is they are so far in debt, late on those designer jeans payments, that they can't or won't to for a number of year to undue what they did. It can be done.

Hey if you HAVE CASH go get those Gold plated pair of Jeans for $200. If you have credit card problems I'd suggest the goodwill.

Yes I've purchased clothes at the goodwill. Mostly Broncos gear but I love picking thru the old t-shirt piles finding vintage shirts. Can't get those at Neiman Marcus.

Didn't mean to rant but it's my job to help people buy real estate and it's frustrating to watch our credit card society sometimes. The wrong choices in real estate and unconventional loans (IE Arms, O Down/low down loans) can be equally devastating to one's financial plan as well but the BAD habits and getting lured into those loans is BAD CREDIT.

I got rapped up in some credit card debt out of college myself thinking I was on easy street with my brand new Bachelors degree. There is NO substitute for hard work though. We all learn that sooner or later.

Good. Save up 5k-10k instead of buying expensive **** so you can buy a condo/home when you get out of the service. Or just piss it all away! Or save the money buy a rental and turn your 5-10k into 30-50k so when you do get out you can really buy a nice pad.

I know you are a fairly young guy but so many people rent until well into their 40's and one day they finally realize I should have bit the bullet in my 20's or early 30's instead of pissing money away.

I know you are a fairly young guy but so many people rent until well into their 40's and one day they finally realize I should have bit the bullet in my 20's or early 30's instead of pissing money away.

I shouldn't be preaching.

*exiting thread* Back to overpriced jeans.

You're RIGHT

I just bought a pair of levi's that "fit like a glove" ...
They were originally $44 and I got them on clearance for $8! ;D
Gotta love that!
Who needs 200-400 for a pair of jeans
(Better use: spend it on a printer ;D )

I wouldn't pay more than $30 for a pair of Levis. Though, now that I think about it, I haven't owned a pair of Levis in almost ten years.

I generally pay about $40-$50 for a pair of jeans. I paid a little more for this boss pair of RocaWear jeans I found. So damned comfortable.

Honestly, though, I hate wearing denim. I like to wear hiker pants from REI. Northface, Columbia Wear, Mountain Hardware... You can get some good grubbies at REI.


Have a link?

When I need jeans, I usually go to the Outlet stores and buy them for $7-$10. But then, I'm not a girl and I'm not the least bit concerned with how pants make my butt look.

For those of you with a Steve and Barry's store near you, they can also have some superb prices on clothing.

I'm sorry, but if I'm gonna drop $200+ on clothing trying to make an impression, it's gonna be a suit.

Ever since the fashion gurus went to the lower cut blue jeans, I notice that they look great on women with trim waists. The rest of the women just have flab flopping over the sides which looks really ugly.

You'd think more women would get smart and wear jeans that cover up the flab but they don't. They'd rather wear something "in fashion" that makes them look fat than wear something more sensible that makes them look normally proportioned.

That goes for the "short" tank tops/shirts also...why show off your flab? :(

This is insane! ...and these are Levi's!

And they're not even made in America anymore. :oyvey:

A pair of pants ain't gonna make her what she's not and if she is, the clothes don't matter.

:spit: How wonderfully idealist of you.
