Do you ever smile in your photos?

Nein, das wäre sehr undeutsch von mir.

He only smiles when he is in his Calvin persona.....

I can't stand loose clothes.

Jeans are Levis 514s in a 30x32 (try to buy these long, since I'm really a 33-34" inseam), short sleeve shirts are usually a small, long sleeves are a medium due to arm length.

Dress pants are Express photographer cut in a 30x34, dress shirts are Express extra-slim medium, polos are Express slim fit medium. Jacket is a 40L due to monkey arms.

Nice shirt. Looking good brah.

I've had better luck with QC lately with the Lucky jeans that Costco carries sometimes. Plus they're cheap AF there.

The wife switched to Lucky and raves about them.

I just go to Kohl's and buy 3 pairs of 514s at a time, every 4-5 years.

I don't go through jeans often.

My Lucky jeans died premature deaths. So I switched to Levis. I like the stretchy ones.

Although I gotta say, hardly anyone beats Gap when it comes to price and durability tradeoff. They literally will not die. And were $25. Still have some pairs from college.

I go drunk as hell yesterday. My friends did an impromptu bachelor style party / hang out day. Was a good time. Feel like today though.

I have some Lucky, Levi and Wrangler jeans, all 5-10 years old. I wish they were a bit slimmer fitting but I’m just so with clothes... average age of my stuff is at least eight years.

Yeah man.. I have a few polos that I still squeeze into for work that I should have retired a few years and a good 20lbs ago. I just don't want to spend the money to replace them.

I've heard this about Gap jeans before. May give them a try the next time I need to buy new jeans.

Gap jeans should be on par with old navy and banana republic considering they’re all one company

Yea, but they're not.

I've had terrible luck with Old Navy clothes...I don't even bother with them anymore.

Gap and Banana are on the same level of quality Banana clothes just feel a bit more premium in material...softness, etc.

I forgot that bought me a bunch of stuff from Gap a while back. Dress shirts, dress pants, jeans, they're all fantastic. They offer tall sizes online, which fit me perfectly, they're wearing great after washing, excellent quality overall. I think Gap is probably the only place I'll spend money on new clothes.

Old Navy is K-Mart quality. Good for kids who will outgrow stuff quickly, or other uses like working outside.

I got some $10 Walmart jeans 2 months ago for wearing at the kart track and they're perfect for that.

I only own one pair of non-work jeans. I think they are called Mugsy brand or something I bought them online when I was packing on the lbs because they claimed to be stretchy as dark. I've put on 40lbs since buying them and they still fit. For work I own some Carhartt pants, but my favorite pair has a gigantic burn hole inside the left thigh.

I just wear stuff from the thrift store for working outside. Cheaper than Old Navy, and can be better quality depending on what you find.

Agreed there's a place for it

They should be, but Old Navy stuff doesn’t last as long as BR in my experience, and with the price of Gap jeans being so much lower than BR jeans I feel like something has to be different in the material or manufacturing of them. Maybe not though , maybe people really are willing to just spend more for the BR name...

We adopted two Ivory Point Siamese kittens last night... stumbled into PetsMart, and they had a litter of four. Wifey's wanted a Siamese cat for a while but most of the litters she found had either a calico or orange tabby as the others, and we can't "replace" the two we lost last year.

We adopted a male/female bonded pair, and named them Lily & Neville.

I find that the denim on Gap jeans is rougher and sometimes a bit thicker than Banana jeans. Banana jeans are really soft, yet have proven to be very durable for me in the past.

I'm still too to buy them, but I can see why some people would.

You might want to see a doctor if your gas is burning a hole in your pants.

I will say though, that is from a man's point of view.

I'm too lazy to hunt for things at thrift stores, especially since almost everything is way too big for me. It might be different if we lived in a real city with some skinny people.

Yea, as a it works pretty well. Plus, wife enjoys going to thrift stores, so I never even have to set foot in one. She makes outings of it with friends. "Fun"

Ahhh yeah that makes sense. I wouldn't expect you to be shopping for finds.

Yeah one of my buddy’s used to (might still) only buy them. I wanted to try them, but didn’t ever want to pay that kind of cash for jeans.
