Expensive clothes

^Agreed. I think Tosin wears some classy shit.

I honestly never really knew what fitted jeans were before this thread, and am still kinda confused about them.
Guessing it means something that fits pretty snug around your ass and crotch.
If that's the case, I've had got three pairs of those, one being straight leg, one being this "bootcut" thing, and can't remember what the other one was. One doesn't fit anymore, and the other two only just barely fit now that my ass and upper legs have expanded from doing deadlifts and squats.
And even before my ass and upper legs got bigger, I never found them to be as comfortable as baggy jeans anyway.
I pretty much always wear baggy jeans (and well, always have been since I've been wearing jeans really), but mind you it's not 1990s "gangsta" over the top baggy. If you can look at someone's pants and immediately think "FUCK, baggy as hell" then they're definitely too baggy.
As long as they look decent, aren't full of obnoxious holes, aren't 1990s level of baggyness, then they're fine for any occasion. Pair them with a nice shirt and they're good to go.
I also like the larger pockets that come with baggy pants

I'm sort of baffled by the "expensive stuff fits better" argument some guys are making. I guarantee that 90% of this stuff is made in the same Chinese and Indonesian factories. Obviously some stuff is poorly made and some people are harder to fit but the notion that cost=quality is a misnomer at best. For example Levi's has something like 100 styles of men's jeans and that's just one of ten makers I can think of that make jeans in the $20-60 range. I just find it hard to believe that none of the styles by any of those brands are capable of fitting. All they would have to do is go to the store and measure the magic fit $200 pants and make them like that. If you like the style and have the money I fully support your right to choose but I can't stand bending facts to rationalize taste.

i get your point with this, and im only speculating. but fashion styles change over the years. the cheapest way of making clothes would be to make something thats a safe bet so its never really 'in' fashion, but never really out. they can then churn out HUGE quantities of them and save in the long run. for more quirky designs/cuts, theres going to be less of them made, and probably involve different stitching/quality control, types of fabric. not saying they will cost a relative amount more, as the price is massively jacked up still, but it is worth checking out the difference in quality and detail between average jeans and more expensive jeans.

at the end of the day, where what you are comfortable with look wise and £££ wise. not everyone will share your opinion, you wont share everyone elses opinion. easy.
 
Get a girlfriend who buys you expensive clothes frequently, problem solved. :lol: Lucky me.

In the other hand, I won't buy any $100 jeans or shirt myself. Shoes and coats are exceptional, I can pay shitloads of money for them.
 
Most of the t-shirts i get are normally from either small bands or little independent clothing companies online so i never really spend more than a tenner on them.

Jeans wise i tend to look for offers on topman or burton or something so i never tend to spend more than £20 on them.

I still want to look good, i just find ways of not spending ridiculous money on it.

I really wish I could go pick out a pair of Levi's and have them fit as well as my Diesels do. Last weekend, I tried on literally every cut of Levi's besides the 'extra skinny' jeans that was in the Levi's store at the outlet mall near my house - none of them would fit me as well as my Diesels without some kind of tailoring, and there's something odd to me about a pair of Levi's tailored, although they would probably fit perfect and still be cheaper than the Diesels at that point.

The new "Loose" cut is great.
 
I'd like to add that Diesel have made over 100 fits of jeans (somewhere between 150-200 i believe), and new ones coming out every season...
 
Levi's Low-Rise Bootcut for life! Haha. Seriously the only jeans that fit me right. Plus, they're never really expensive. For t-shirts I just rock Dickies 99% of the time. Always fit right and never shrink (i'm 6'3" and have a long torso). I need to get some nice long sleeve sport shirts.
 
It can't be justified but that's the beauty of it.

Come on man... imagine this, you've worked hard to get people this stupid, and now you get your pay...you can ask ANY (;)) amount of money for a piece of cloth.

Et voila, people are stupid enough to buy it ... why ? well.... for the same reason we would like to call ourselves things we're not .
 
Kinda just nitpicking I suppose, but what I don't like about perfectly fitting jeans is that they just make your belt nothing but a fashion statement.
To me, a belt has always been something that exists to keep your pants up, not something you put on and hope that people will think it looks cool.
If you really don't need to wear them because the pants fit perfectly, just keep the belt off.
Save the belt for the practical purposes it's intended to fulfill (just IMHO)
 
$40 Levi's - I'd say they fit pretty well

From Levi's or Deisel? I've never liked loose cuts, regardless. I don't like clothes to hang off my body.

My belt is there to keep my pants from sliding down when I bend over to tie my shoe, pick up something I dropped, seduce a congressman, blow a homeless man, etc... You really should be able to wear your pants without a belt and not have a problem with them sliding off just walking around, but a belt completes any look (esp. with nicer shoes) besides on tuxedo-style trousers.





Marcus, that picture really tells nothing about the fit; get something straight on, and then one from the back, and we can tell at that point.

Eh, you're wearing clothes 90% of your life...seems to me like a worthwhile area to invest in nice stuff. You can be the guy that's like "I WEAR CLOTHES SO I'M NOT NAKED ALL THE TIME" but for the rest of us we have fashion. There's a pretty massive price gap between cheap cotton and cashmere, faux leather and deer skin, sweatshop denim vs selvage denim. Labor ain't always cheap either, not everything is made in a sweatshop! And yeah Gucci, Armani, etc aren't for your average Joe, the market are the millionaires and celebrities of this world who have no reason NOT to buy the absolute best.

I don't see why there's so much hate...ANYWHERE you look there is ALWAYS going to be a highly expensive alternative to the norm. It's called luxury and it's out there, get used to it. It's like getting pissed off that Rolls Royce exists and exclaiming that all RR owners are "stupid" for buying into it.
