Dirt cheap is like $33 for a pair of jeans. Less than old navy=dirt cheap.

I do private label for CCS, you get alot for your money at their pricepoints, more so than Old Navy.

Any recommendations? I was thinking about the striped thermal or maybe the hoodie but on second thought they seem pretty loud. Also the thermals apparently have thumbholes (?) of which I don't think I'm too big of a fan.

Rye - does this hold for their jeans as well? I mean, obviously you're not getting SDA-level quality at $35, but as beater jeans go...

Couldn't comment on their denim, I 've only worked on cut and sew tee's for these guys. From personal experience you can make a good quality $35 jean with the right quantities, but somewhere along the line someone is making $0 dollar....the labor, the contractor.. who knows!.

God those CCS Long sleeve shirts are exactly what I've been looking for. Then I saw the thumbholes =(

Do you know if they make any without and/or anywhere that sells the same kind if shirts without the thumbholes?

If someone in a manufacturing-and-supply chain is getting screwed, labor is usually the safe bet; workers of the world...etc. etc.

The thumbholes aren't destiny. You don't have to use them. If you feel strongly, I'm sure you could sew them closed.

Yeah, if I can't find any without thumb holes I'll just buy those and possibly sew the holes closed.

Rhinestone brass knuckles? That's a negatory Ghostrider.

The studded belt has so much ******* baggage associated with it that's it's unwearable unless you want to look like a 13 year old screamo scenester.

As far as the OCBD, I love the idea of Brooks as much as the next guy, but the reality is that the shirts fit like a tent. Okay under a jacket, not so much so with jeans or under a sweater.

They come in slim fit these days. Also, alterations to a shirt torso are absurdly easy.

The slim fit isn't really slim by our standard. I'd rather just get one of the Polo custom fits which are actually serviceable without alterations.

Disagree. It's all about how you wear it. I still wear studded belts from time to time and it doesn't come off as screamo scenester. Wear with more military style or the whole post-apocolyptic Japanese style and the different context completely changes the look.

Well, maybe it's one of those industrial strength fashion items that's only suitable for use by trained professionals, as it were. I don't recall seeing a studded belt in any of your looks, but that probably just means that it blended in well. I certainly don't see it working in any of my outfits, but that may just be because my streetwear style tends to be more conservative and/or streamlined.

99% of the time I see them on the street, though, they look awful.

Quality seems fine on mine. Haven't had them that long but they're no worse than any other pair of jeans I've had, and I highly doubt a $300 pair of Hugo Boss jeans would have any better quality.
