Alternately, it's that you and the jeans crowd seem to fetishize authenticity and small distinctions, despite the fact that they really make no difference and nobody cares except people on internet forums about denim. That's fine if you're on a denim internet forum, but it comes off goofy when you take it anywhere else. I am not a cowboy and in fact I think cowboys are mouth-breathing morons. Why should I care what brand of jeans they originally preferred? I don't baby my jeans, but if I purchase a pair of even the cheapest jeans, I expect that they'll last basically forever. So why should I care about one denim lasting longer than another? For all the fetishization of which pants get purchased by the working man, don't poor people just buy the $30 jeans from Wal-Mart or department stores? Why is that unauthentic? Is it, American working man from the 1950's? This is particularly true on a Men's Style forum, where people view jeans as casual clothes that you wear when you don't really care. Furthermore, people are presumably capable of choosing which cut looks good without consulting obscure historic trends.
first, I have a deviated septum and I do sometimes have to breathe through my mouth. that does not make me a moron. or a cowboy. and thanks to your post, I will now scoff at these dumb igents who pay a premium for full canvassed suits, goodyear welted shoes, mto shirts and wearing pocketsquares when they can save their money if they just purchased mw suits, glued cole haans, 3-in-1 packed shirts and just stuff a napkin from t.g.i. fridays to his chest pocket. igents.....
I do wonder what percentage of all mankind could afford seven pairs of these jeans.
why, 7% of course! +++++++++++++++ just to share, and its no b.s., but I've worn non-SW approved denim and SW-approved denim and I do get some compliments from said SW-approved denim. I asked a friend once (who's unaware of what particular jeans I was wearing) who was complimenting my jeans what makes it different from other jeans he sees and he kind of gives a vague answer like "they just look good"
