I don't know, they are 10$ unwashed jeans. I'd personally rather experiment with 10 dollars than the alternative.

Robbie, if you get those Nudies for your Rustlers, I'd say you should pass the karma along and sell me your Redloops cheap. Its only fair. I'll go out and buy you a new pair of Rustlers for them, even.

Hey, I dont know if you are interested but I have some new jeans my buddy gave me. I think they are called Dior or something. They fit me but they are a little long. I have never heard of the brand so I doubt they are worth much. They might not be as good as Redloops but I was wondering if you would like to trade for some worn in jeans.

Faded Glory is one of the saddest brand names I've ever seen. I cringe every time I see it, which happily is rare. It sounds like it was taken from a John [Cougar] [Mellencamp] song about sad dudes who were cool for 6 months in one high school football season and now drink heavily every night and reminisce about those 6 months. They also use the snowplows on their trucks to clear people's driveways for a few bucks here and there.

This is almost as good as your "how do you get to Burlington Coat Factory" man.

(I wanted to link the original image put apparently mensimageconsultant has disabled this?)
