So you spend more money paying for some magical, invisible being who has provided no proof or return on a life long worship of him then you do on jeans which will be worn multiple times throughout their life.

edit: just in case a sarcasm meter is broken this post is meant as a joke post :p

Why do you hate magical, invisible beings who provide no proof or return on a life long worship, DisgruntledVirus?

For the same reason you hate posts that talk about hating magical, invisible beings who provide no proof or return on a life long worship, nkgreen?

Rotary telephones?

Exactly.

Reps for knowing that.

Ah, I was wondering who would pick up the slack.

And those are some weak choices there.

out of that list? The diesels, but to be fair I've never owned a pair of Lucky.

I've never owned a pair of 'high end' jeans - partially because I don't believe in wasting a ton of money on a single piece of clothing like jeans and because I consider jeans casual wear to get beaten up in everyday use.

My friends have been trying to get me to stretch for a pair of nice Luckys, but I don't feel like it - I'm quite satisfied with my 5-year-old Levi's, thankyouverymuch.

This thread is about jeans, no slacks talk!

luckys and diesels ftw. im not a fan of true religion styles

and for those who keep bitching about how expensive they are, they go on sale often (at least luckys do, you have to look for diesel sales) and you can get them for the same price as gap jeans or other crap low end brands

I didn't know that about the Lucky's - just assumed. I usually just buy my clothes at Kohl's or JCPenny's, so I just get Levi's or Lee jeans - whatever is comfortable and looks good.

As far as the latter question, I don't buy any of that stuff.

So $90 for an outdated HTPC that was running an Athalon 2800+...

Lucky's are the most comfortable IMHO.
7's have the softest denim.
TR's look like shit IMHO
RnR has nice cuts but are kinda tight

lucky has a sale at their store about 3 times a year and you can get them for that price. compare that to getting jeans at jcp at full price is around 35-40 for a lesser quality jean. price performance ratio at its best imo.

If you're gonna waste money on designer jeans, you might as well get the good shit and get imported Japanese denim.

what kind of ROI can you expect on True Relgions?

i'm getting 20-25% on my investment in Diesels.
