In the realm of not-insanely-expensive jeans (not overpriced, expensive jeans are worth it), I really like Uniqlo's jeans, although I don't wear too much denim these days.

Re: Denimchat, I just wear some random generic carpenter pants. It's hard finding stuff that is loose fitting (baggy as gently caress) and long enough for my giant megalegs. Not many companies seem to make loose fitting stuff in 36/36. Though in all honesty I need to go to 36/38 because the legs on these are ever so slightly too short.

It's worse to be tall *and* skinny. I'm like a 30/34, but in Levis for some reason a 34 is too short. But 36 is too long. Aggravating.

I'm decently skinny, I just cannot stand wearing anything that "fits properly" as it were. I'm 6'5" and ~210lbs and if I wear stuff that is actually, you know, normal fit, it drives me insane. I have to have my clothes super baggy for some reason, I can't stand the feeling of pants and shirts being even remotely tight :shobon:

Weight per yard, and deals mostly with how thick it is. Heavier weights don't breathe as well, but they look loving amazing.

Also carpenter and baggy jeans should be burned, not worn. By anyone. Unless you're 12 or have special needs.

Ummmm.... my advice is to show BTCC and forget F1 completely. You literally see as much passing and action in one race of BTCC that you do in F1 for a year - the entire race yesterday you could condense every bit of action into one lap and BTCC would STILL piss on it from a great height. Hell, WEC, Le Mans, ALMS, V8 Supercar, Carrera Cup, you name it it's better that F1. F1 is even below NASCAR and that takes actual effort to chieve that.

Truth. I started buying designer denim about 5 or 6 years ago. The denim lasts longer and they stay in style much longer. Just two months ago I bought my first pair of selvage denim; some APC's wearing them at least three times a week to get them broken in. They are just now starting to be a bit more manageable as far as mobility. They are starting to get some nice lines and I can't wait for the fades to set in. I'll probably do some hiking this summer to get them a little dirtied up with some good coloring.

For all the new denim people should we talk about how to properly care for their denim by not washing them

My desktop is pretty sad these days (it has 8GB of RAM, but it's showing per-stick instead of all of it combined in this)



As for the laptop, I just looked up the CPU. It is a Haswell, but it's a ULV chip, and does indeed use 1.35V RAM.

Looking at the specs for the chip is just mind blowing - 15 watts?! Explains the puny 45 watt charger it came with; I usually carry an Innergie 70 watt charger that can work both on AC and 12V DC power (hey, it was :10bux: on meh awhile back, and being able to use it in the car is a nice touch).

Not many companies seem to make loose fitting stuff in 36/36. Though in all honesty I need to go to 36/38 because the legs on these are ever so slightly too short.

I could do baggy in high school. These days I prefer slim fit, even though I'm a bit bigger than I was in high school (but a hell of a lot smaller than about 10 years ago).

Also try finding 33/29 sometime. Depending on brand I go for 32/30 or 34/30 these days (34 is guaranteed to need a belt, but some brands are a bit too tight in 32), but I still have to roll up the leg a little. And since I usually buy stuff on clearance, I usually wind up with 32/32 or 34/32. Every now and then I luck out and actually find 33s.

At least I'm not wearing 40/30s anymore. :unsmith:

I just plain can't get comfortable in a pair of jeans. Last time I bought jeans was probably 10 years ago so that might be why. I could be persuaded to try again, but when everyone talks about good jeans it seems to be 80+ for a pair. I spend about that on two pairs of carhartts that last plenty long.

Also the whole no washing thing is mad gross.
