its that dreaded time for cloths shopping, looking like a fuckin bum...i hate this shopping shit and the ole lady brings shit back making me look a gay rockstar, fuck that shit...
anywho a couple of you fine gentlemen gave advise on something other that fucking levis that i have been wearing that past 40 years...

 
Levis, wrangler and Lee....they all suck......only good for pretty boys who want to squeeze their junk into tight pants, and who apparently dont work for a living, because the pants shred super easy.

Duluth trading Ballroom jeans are what you want.

their firehose pants are top notch as well
 
I'm so cool, confident, and good looking, I just buy whatever Costco has in my size. It's ranged from Calvin Klein to Lucky Brand, Perry Ellis, some I can't remember, and even their own Kirkland brand. I look good in all of them. That said, the Levi's I've bought there in recent years don't feel and/or fit right. They slide off my arse or waist or something. So I avoid them now.

Costco usually has some option that is a pretty darn good deal so you won't feel like an arse if you buy them and don't like them. Then again, they'll take them back even if you wash and wear them so what's the worry?

If you're looking for fruity skinny hipster jeans I haven't come across that sort of thing there. But if your intent is too look like a grown man who has a job but isn't a dork, most of what they carry is gtg.

Buy a pair in your size, wash them, wear them, and if you like them and want more or in a different colour you better get your arse back there and buy more. Chances are in a week they won't have that style or brand any more and you'll be SOL. Unless you're really tall and abnormally thin, or very overweight. They always have waaaay too many in ecto and endomorph sizes. And run out quickly in mesomorph sizes.

I'm sure you could pay more and get something better if you shopped around, but I've never felt the need. I'm not particularly cheap, but spending $16-25 on jeans at Costco instead of the alternatives I've seen makes sense to me since they look and fit well anyway.

Hope this helps.
 
never had the carharts or the firehose pants, they dont kill the fuck otta you in the heat?

i mean i wont lie....they get warm, it is fucking heavy material after all......but honestly its not too bad.

i usually wear those spandex boxers, which wick away sweat.......when i wear boxers, they just wad up with sweat.......

but i usually labor during the summer, and dont really notice them when im working

when it gets really hot and muggy, ill usually swtich to sometihng like a light weight 5.11 pant
 
thats some funny shit cartman.
like yourself, i,m cool confident and good looking and truly make any aparrel look good, but its the inner me thats hard to satisfy...
LOL...
they just built a new costco down the street, i,ll check it out...
didnt sir say he bought some good jeans cheep that wore like iron?

At the risk of inspiring Magnum Boner's next review video, I have to concur on the good advice here. At Costco or Sam's Club I noticed some skivvies claiming to be for athletics and be cool and wick moisture or some crap. Having had, embarrassingly, the same issues as mcameron -- along with occasionally squeezing my junk the wrong way -- tried them. Un freaking believable. I recently threw out my old boxers because I just won't wear them anymore. I think I have Reebok and Addidas versions. IIRC they're made out of polyester. Keep your boys cool and much more comfortable. Great support for running or working out too.

Now I realize posting shiz like this makes it easy for people to crack a joke. And it doesn't fit in with the keyboard warrior image everyone is always trying to cultivate. But one or two of you is going to see these things (we're not talking about grape smugglers or banana hammocks here -- they look like boxers but are stretchy and fit snuggly) and are going to try them just out of curiosity (no need to share if you went through a bi-curious phase (not that I'm judging, it's just not the site to share that)). And I guarunfreakingtee you're going to say to yourself "son of a bitch, those guys were right, I've been doing it wrong all those years!" And you'll realize I'm contributing more to this site than someone who posts lose-your-lunch pictures of bikini-clad heifers.

Hope this helps.
 
I have to agree with the wick away boxers. I personally wear the Duluth buck naked boxer briefs and they are fantastic! They also wear like iron! They are a little pricey but go on sale for around 16$ a pop. But the wear on them is worth the cost IMO. i have had a couple pair for 3 years and still have no holes, dont bunch up just great underpants. As far a jeans go, the duluth are nice but high dollar, heavy and seem like they run small or maybe i grow in the week from order to delivery. I went to the Levis outlet and after about 1hr of shopping and trying them on. found a style that fit well and didnt strangle my junk. I also have a couple of pair of Khul and while they are nice and light. I feel like you could tear them up fairly easy. Caught them on sale 50$ at REI too expensive to just go out an mess up. In summary IMHO whatever fits and is easy on the pocket book seem to work. I may check out Costco when i need some more.
 
The best dealIve found is Red Camel, available at Belk/Legget and no doubt elsewhere. Same build as the Levi Straight Leg, same quality and you can get them on sale for $18.00 if you watch. Never saw thevalue in spending a lot on jeans since I tend to get paint, grass stains, grease, or tear whatever I wear. Buy cheap ones, ruin, replace.
 
Carharts aka Cowboy Gucci's are nice but stupidly expensive, I have several pairs of Dickies brown canvas carpenters pants that have plenty of room and last 80-90% as long as Carharts/Cowboy Guccis for half the price.
 
If you decide to try some carhartt, keep in mind they will shrink after several washings and will continue to shrink. Make sure you have plenty of room if you carry iwb.
 
All I wear on the weekend is Scout pants, cargo pants I buy at the Scout shop. I've been a Scout leader for 13 years and I stopped wearing Levi's 12 years ago. If I get hot, I just zip off the legs and turn them into shorts. Easy Breezy. I tried to put on some Levi's 501s a couple weeks back. Oh hell no. Not gonna do it. I put my Scout pants back on.
 
Carharts, dickies and other thick work pants are fine in the heat. However, once the humidity rises like it does around here, you're gonna sweat like a whore in church.
I don't have the answer for you Mikey, cause I just wear shorts when it's hot.
You might want to try out basic work pants like those worn by uniformed tradesmen. They are pretty cheap and women love a man in uniform...
Stay cool brother, the heat is on its way

Gloria Vanderbilts maybe? :D
 
I wear Dickies black cargo parnts for work .They hide the grease and muck I crawl around in all day . I wear Wranglers for my jeans . They're cheaper than Levi and fit better . As far as the swamp cover I just wear briefs . We got a powder coat oven and it gets so hot in there ya get bat wings . You know when you sack sticks to your legs like bat wings . Had to work up in the ceiling after they shut down in the afternoon once . 140 degrees farenheit . Man I was seein dead relatives . Actually poured sweat outta my boots when I was done .

Sounds like hay bails in the barn.
When you start to hear your heart from the heat, step out side for a bit.
