Title: Jeans
Post by: LogicalBee on March 21, 2015, 02:55:43 pm
Have any beeks found the perfect Jeans?  If so, what are they? 

I’ve tried many brands, but I just haven’t found a perfect fit yet.  No wonder the Kardashians have such a hard time keeping cloths on, nothing is going to fit those bodies!

I use to wear levi's all the time.
I like a more loose fit anymore and now wear wrangler painter pants in camo colors. That is about the only kind of pant I wear and the wife gets tired of it for sure.
Real Army camo pants are the best, they have the "draw stings" on the sides to take up any slack, no belt required and they just feel better.

I'm finding now with my wiser body that the jeans that fit my hips.. don't fit my legs. Wider hips, thinner legs. It's a tough combo for the 501's that I used to love  ;)

Wrangler jeans for me. Got rid of all my Lee and Levi jeans as I like how the Wranglers fit around my upper leg and thigh area sitting or standing.

Liberty overalls are the best.  They hang on your shoulders, and cuddle my belly like a belly bra.  And they have lots of pockets, too.

$9.98..I'm cheap enough not to worry about the fit.

Liberty's is all I use to wear but my belly pooched out too much. I do like them also but need to get me some more.

I've found that the secret is to get the ones that fit your belly, not your waist.   ;D

It's a shame that Liberty overalls are made in China now.

I have been a fan of Wranglers for a while now.   With my excess belly suspenders were almost a must.
Then, I got a set of Carhart overalls.  OMG where have they been all of my life?  Extra pockets, no sag.  I just don't see a downside
Title: Re: Jeans
Post by: kingd on March 22, 2015, 09:44:07 am
Levis mostly but I have to go and try on different ones every time,I have found that jean sizes change even if they are the same size and model.

 I will buy any brand that fits though (which is rare).

Hey Jen, remember the "Mom Jeans" skit from Saturday Night Live?  http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/mom-jeans/n11727 (http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/mom-jeans/n11727)
I wish I knew how to post the actual video on here.

Wow, Baker! Hahahahahha, and you know what, I wore Mom Jeans when my weight was up. 9 inch zipper, room for the pouch... So Funny.

Here's another one from youtube

All American Clothing Company.

They are the best quality out there AND they are 100% made in the USA!  Whenever possible, all of my clothes and tools are "Made in the USA".

I am hard on clothes.  Levis only last 8-12 months.  I have several pairs of jeans from All American that are 3+ years old and still holding up.  The two pairs I bought last year (worn and washed weekly) are still deep blue, not faded.

Welcome pturley.  I see you are new.

I have to say I have a pair of jeans from WallyWorld that are very comfortable.  I don't like WallyWorld, but sometimes the situation calls for going there.

Not really new, around since before Iddee and the gang moved to the current site.  Just not around all that much since the data crash.

I can't do WallyWorld.  Regardless of price.

Baker- I don't like wally world either, it's a political thing. But we are a small town and that is the one multi purpose store we have. I will add tho that walmart hires many people that might not be hirable anywhere else.

I despise WM...  unfortunately, that's what's primarily in my area as well..  Well, that I can afford.

Since our wm went to a Super store, it's worse than ever. Never stays stocked, such a disappointment.
Title: Re: Jeans
Post by: LogicalBee on March 25, 2015, 12:09:39 am
I like how the 501s fit at the waist, but I prefer how the Levi’s fit my legs.  Wouldn’t it be nice to cut and paste our cloths.

I have bought some of iddee’s $9 walmart specials for some of my more nasty physical labor chores.  Actually kind of like them.  Luckily in the Midwest, we have Meijer Super stores which serves the same market as Walmart.  Usually where there is one around here, there is the other.  I usually shop at Meijer’s.  They’ve done a lot of things better than Walmart has, but I also spend some time at Wally World.

I am glad to see I have some kindred spirits here regarding WallyWorld.  Actually, I really like KMart!  I could walk in, throw clothing in the cart and know it would fit and how long it would last.  Sadly, the local KMart closed and now I drive about 30 minutes when I need my KMart fix.
Title: Re: Jeans
Post by: Jen on March 25, 2015, 09:04:24 pm
I like knowing that it's not just our wm. The walmart where my daughter lives is always stocked. I think a family as big and wealthy as the family that owns it should make sure at every single store is fully stocked at all times. I kinda hope they go down, wouldn't hurt my feelings any ~

I quit going to WalMart when they had a cart checker compare the contents of your cart to your receipt between the cash register and the door on the way out.  I find it insulting and offensive.
Title: Re: Jeans
Post by: LogicalBee on March 25, 2015, 09:50:26 pm
They check carts at Walmart?  Never had that happen to me.  That is the routine at Sam's club though. 

I'm not sure we even have any Kmarts left around me. :sad:  I haven't been to one in ....probably decades!  I always liked them as a kid.  Ironic thing is they were founded and headquartered in metro Detroit for the longest time until the Hedge fund guys got ahold of them.

 Well you might not like Walmart but I read a report this morning that they were the largest employer in 20 states. I sure use them for you cannot beat their prices on a lot of items.

I've noticed over my lifetime that people tend to hate financially successful people and entities.  I never understood why, but it has always been that way. Wal-mart employs more than any other private business in the US. It enables people to buy things they could otherwise never afford. It employees the otherwise unemployable. It serves the public 24/7.

Yet, being financially successful, it receives nothing but hate and disgust from those it serves.

Best i remember Sam Walton would not sell anything that wasn't made in the US of A? Now that he's gone you can't find anything in the stores that are made in the US of A, except the employees.  ;D I admire people who get there by their boot straps, but don't care for those that take advantage of others to get there.

 Most be a regional thing,Sams yes ,Walmart no.
Must be too much stuff is leaving without being paid for.

You would not believe how much stuff walks out in a day.

 The pay and benefits could be a lot better at walmart. Last year I think they made a profit of 15 billion and payed out only 2 billion for their employees. Its a cheap outfit to work for. Its time people think about unionizing walmart. Anybody that talks about a union around here wont have a Job tomorrow. I buy very little from them. I try to support the small shops first before I walk in this place.
Title: Re: Jeans
Post by: iddee on March 26, 2015, 05:00:45 pm
Take a gander at the average WM employee and watch them work for awhile. Then tell me just how much they should be making, when the US is full of very intelligent, hard working people who are  unemployed. WM could get twice the talent for very little more money, but they have the heart to hire those who can't find work elsewhere.

PS. Add to that 2 billion, the taxes that WM pays each year that subsidize those low paid employees. Then what is the total?

Now if you really want service, go to sears. My son bought life time shocks at sears for his truck. Over 500.00. This morning, I took his truck in for new shocks. They were totally gone. Sears said, "sure, for 150.00, we will replace them". :o   :o   :o 
Only the part is warranted. Installation is 150.00.
I says, "OK,give me the shocks and I'll have them put on".
Sears, "If you do, the lifetime warranty will be voided". If we don't get our 150.00, we won't warranty them again in the future.

Now, that's what I call SERVICE.
The kind of service a bull gives a cow.

Went to Sears a year ago to buy a new washer, like to never found someone to wait on us to show the difference in the types. I was in overalls ball cap and T-shirt my wife was dressed up tho, well the salesman seen a woman looking at a double door refrigerator and left us to go help her? Well my wife didn't like getting snubbed so as we were leaving the salesman was checking the ladies credit, we was going to pay cash. :P Jack

I'd let the BBB know about that.  They should have explained that when the shocks were purchased.

Sears was bought out by one of these super rich hedge fund guys about 10 years ago.  I’m sure those good guys  :yes: would have included the details of that warranty somewhere in their super fine print.  Maybe it was written in invisible ink.  ;D

OK, joking aside, I feel for you.  I went to Sears to buy a new battery when it was below 0F and my battery froze to death.  Turns out the auto section of Sears isn’t open on Sundays of all things!  I ended up going to Wally World and got a new battery.  No complaints, I didn't even get checked at the door.  Maybe I just look too honest   ;D

Years ago sears was a good place to go and buy and look around. I liked the help they gave us when we first walked in. they were very helpful and educated.  if you had any questions they could answer them for you.  Just about everything they sold was made in the US. My opinion sears got to big. They lost control of the company.

  Sears use to be my go to place on tools,washers,dryers,compressors, etc. Now every time I go in there it's the feeling that I will be overcharged for inferior products.
  The Sears near me looks like it is on the verge of going out of business also. :sad:

I think Sears was bought out by KMart. 
Soon they will be in the graveyard with Montgomery Wards, I fear.  I think JC Penney's will follow as well.
