Black Dockers Classic look great - i compared them side-by-side to all 4 Banana Republic styles, and they look better. In fact, i never anything BUT pleated Dockers pants. Why? Because the first time i wore them (30 dollar pants versus 150-dollar Diesel jeans), i realized that the amount of looks i get from girls went up by about 300%, and got to the point where about 3/4 of the gorgeous girls i check out are checking me out in return.

What I'd like to know is why in the HELL would anyone pay $150 for a pair of jeans..?

There's fashion, and then there's conservative dress. Conservative dress is always in style. A man should have one dark suit, for example. That's conservative dress.

And conservative dress clothes are pleated. End of story.

I'm in shape. 6', 31" waist, 46" chest. Flat front pants look bad on me because I don't have undeveloped chicken legs. If I buy a pair that fits my waist, the legs are too tight. And "easy fit" flat front pants have a saggy ass in them.
Damn for somebody that works out like you do you sure are skinny! A 46" Chest and a 31" waist?

I have a thin frame to begin with. I had a 29" waist in high school. I try to keep my body fat to a minimum.

My upper arms are 17.5". Does that impress you? :p

No mine are the same size and I have a 48" Chest.

How much of the difference between us is based on the size of our rib cage, though? I've seen barrel chested guys that can't lift nearly as much as I can, and there's a skinny guy at my gym who has a 44" chest who can out bench me.

Like I said, I have a slim frame. The bummer is, my wrists and ankles are small compared to my height and there isn't much one can do to make those bigger.

LOL...my suits do not have pleats. I'll post an image of the kinds of suits I wear so you can get the picture...I guess I don't like "conservative suits." If that's your thing though, knock yourself out!

I wear both....I prefer pleats in some styles and in others a flat front.

I depends on the pants and also how pleated they are.

I think there is a cut off point for pleated or non-pleated suit pants, anything above 32" waist is pleated, I could be wrong thou.

No... if it above 32 , then its double pleated, or tripple :disgust:. Below that, it's nicely pleated just once, or twice

Are Pleated pants gay?
No.

Business dress, casual and conservative, requires pleated. Only snotty young punks who talk slang and don't tuck in their shirts wear flat fronts.
