True denim doesn’t stretch so tight was very uncomfortable. Fashion wanted tight jeans so they added spandex to the denim weave. Durability was sacrificed for butt-hugging.
I would sacrifice anything for some butt-hugging. 😭
Does that mean you’ll go to the gym; stop eating so much junk food; take showers every day; keep your abode clean; go out of the house and talk to people in real life?

I do everything except the last thing. People are scary IRL.
The last is kinda the point of the prior actions.
Unless you want to seek professional help, you’re going to have to meet folks
Professional help is given by people though
ChatGPT told me it’s selfish of my friends to not want me to kill myself!
When it first came out, “Her” was edgy science fiction.
Now it’s a Hallmark movie.
People who are being paid to be very, very, very, very nice…
Or so I am told…
Internet pro tip: Watch this video. Becoming socially curious is a game-changer for introverts.
Nice video.
He’s got a lot of good content.
Dr. Smithyman. The name sounds like a character from YA novel.
Yes
Wrangler still makes cheap, basic jeans out of thicker denim.
Anyone else think $50 is a lot for a pair of 501s?
I have Levi’s that are about 25 years old that I still wear. (Of course, I went through a few years when I was too fat to wear them, so they just hung in the closet till I lost the weight. But, they are that old, and I do wear them now.)
I vaguely remember reading about a 501 collectors market and how vintage Levis went for a pretty penny. Im guessing it wasn’t 1995 vintage, though.
Looks longingly into closet
Ugh, so hard to find a decent pair of boot cut jeans that aren’t as thin as high tech hiking pants and are comfortable.
I get my clothes from the thrift store. Sadly, even that’s getting more expensive. Used to be could get jeans for $5 and now it’s more like $20
When I was younger if you had holes in your jeans you weren’t cool, you were poor.
Stupid sexy chad doge
When I was in 7th or 8th grade, I put a pair of Levi’s silver tab jeans in the shopping cart with my mom, didn’t know the price. Got up front to checkout and they were around $45. My eyes almost popped out of my head, I don’t remember spending that kind of money on clothes. Looked at my mom, she said to get them reluctantly. I felt so bad, I made those pants last for almost 10 years, all through highschool before they turned in my housework/car repair pants.
You can still get decent levis for $50 or so, but quality has definitely gone down a bit.
Anyone got any recommendations for jeans with a button fly? (That isn’t the Levi 501 because it doesn’t fit me well)
Naked and Famous denim. Lots of different cuts available.
Basically anything on Franklin & Poe’s website. Or call them and they will geek out about denim to you over the phone

The Perfect Jeans are great.
I swear by Carhartt.
I mean those normal jeans are still available.
Those jeans are not from 100 years ago
I’m not saying to do the thing where you only put them in the freezer like a lunatic, but washing them much and wrong doesn’t help.
It isn’t the shape of the jeans you’re identifying a weird.
