I thought they were gay but they have a good blend of not looking like lazy nigger pants and being comfy, so you don't look like a slob when you go outside to get the mail and end up helping the neighbor's project for 3 hours

These days I start my hunt for that stuff by asking the old guys in the fam if they have anything that would fit me, they're happy to offload it knowing they'll never be skinny again, I get stuff that was made before it was all dogshit
I don't think I've bought a pair of normal civvie clothes in the last 10 years that lasted more than 5, it's shocking. I got lined costco pants last year, blew out at the belt loops

I always wanted to find the real native hookups where you get good materials and good prices, instead I only ever saw the tourist bait stuff priced like the first world.
Even so I should have splurged, I kept telling myself I'd load up on all the fun gear on the next job, and then that job never came

Still have 'em, but they both got holes in the knees long before my cheap jeans. Never doing that again. Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks likes this. -

I think overall you just need to be ready to spend first-world money if you want something good, and I wasn't getting paid enough for that. Our company basically left pay the same since the 80s, assuming the dollar would make up for it....but the dollar wasn't worth much - I can't imagine how much worse it is after all the recent headaches
