What do you wear? How often?

Typically they not wear about once a week. I don’t do the blingy back pockets. I typically go with a relaxed American Eagle. I like how they fit and look and don’t cost as much as a Pistons’ ticket.

I was down to one pair and my wife ordered some online. Bought a pair of extra flex lol. I couldn’t tell by the look but these jeans are funny. Mess with your mind a bit.

It’s really tough finding the right jeans imo. Slim fit for one brand can be a regular or skinny fit for another brand. I finally found a brand and cut that I enjoy. I go dark blue and typically buy it once a year. I Keep the pair I bought the year before, and then donate (virtue signal shout out to me) the pair that is 2 years old. I find that most dark jeans start to fade near the 10-12 month mark. At least the ones I buy.

I wear jeans most days, probably have 12-15 pairs, and the days I don't I'm wearing wool pants or athleisure joggers. I go with a slim fit, usually pinroll cuff them a bit so they don't cover my shoes (hate that).

I have a shit ton of pairs, mostly wear darker wash or black most of the time. I'd say don't sleep on olive green denim, they're a nice versatile pair to have. I've gone the full gamut including Raw Selvedge, but I like the ones with a bit of stretch the best. Just more comfortable. When it comes to clothes, I am not cheap and like to buy MiUSA/CAN or japanese [if possible], built to last.

In terms of brands, I've been the most happy with Naked & Famous recently. As I mentioned above, they are a bit pricey but worth it. In terms of fit, quality and longevity they're hard to beat.

I stick to the basic Levi's. Maybe 8 or 10 pairs, I don't know. I have one pair that are literally falling apart but I still love'em!

And guys, gtfo with your damn skinny jeans. Too much beta up in here.

Why does anyone need so many pairs? Man, that's crazy to me!

I have 3. 1 work, 1 lounge, 1 dress. I wash the dress about 2 times a year, casual 4, work once a month.

I have 1 pair that I wear on Fridays to work and the 2 months on the weekend it is cold. Hate pants in general, will wear shorts and flip flops as long as it’s above 50 (and not going somewhere nice). Don’t wash them often.

So you don’t know what he meant by “dress jeans?” Got it. Sounds like it went over your head.

You don't have different jeans, some which you'd wear while working and getting dirty, and others when you go out in public? Come on now, its not that difficult of a concept.
