    I JUST BOUGHT A PAIR!!!!!!!!! haha. Well, before I put myself on the shopping ban. I'm SO GLAD you're looking at WR :)
    I'm still waiting for mine in the mail. Hopefully they come oh so very soon...

    Great deal too, on RC because WR here is RARE.
    Don't forget to call them during checkout for the 30% off first time buyers coupon!

    I bought these: http://www.revolveclothing.com/b/Product.jsp?code=WILL-WJ13

    Personally, I think dark wash looks nicer then the light washes :)

    I just bought my BF a pair of R&R's too. Henlee Sin City Blue. Great wash. :)

    that is a nice butt.

    and i won't be buying any pairs soon until i become employed again, running on $1000 and i wont spend 1/5th of that on jeans.

    WR will become the shittttt. RR/TR over played by friend.
  • edited January 2008
    Yeah, my chequeing account is running below 1000, and i usually dont spend it if it's below that mark, so that's why I'm on a shopping ban :)

    Well, RR / TR are overplayed but I gotta introduce him to some nice stuff sooner or later. I thought RR was a nice was to start his conversion hahahaa.

    ^^ lol it's always a good start...did he find the thighs to be abit tight? mine makes me look like i have REALLY skinny legs...it's kinda werid but it stretched out after so i'm happy lol. RR is what got me addicted to nice jeans...if not i prob wouldn't care..
  • edited February 2008
    since I started working out, some of my jeans don't fit anymore. The thighs are so tight now because of the muscle ><
    and my dress shirts are too tight, I can hardly move, haha. If I flexed I think I would probably rip them :'(
    Sad thing is, I don't even look any more muscular, haha
  • edited February 2008
    LOL! It's funny because my boyfriend wears clothes that ranges from M to XL. Winter = M because he doesn't work out as much ans Summer = XL because he gets huge! HAHA...

    I tend to find clothes in L so he can still wear them usually ^______^

    Brand name and generic. Minimal logos, I'm not paid to advertise, thus I see no reason to flash a trend or brand across my body. I'm a firm believer in people looking good in clothes they wear, not the other way around. That's why beautiful models are used to push the latest trends, they can pull off anything.

    Trend whores stink. I do not own and highly dislike the following brands: Roots, Gap(and its related brands) North Face(or anything from VF Corp), Rock & Republic, Guess, Armani Exchange, American Eagles (I absolutely HATE AE, plus their stuff is hideous).

    Easy.
    2 Runners.
    2 Casual.
    2 Cycling.
    2 Dress.
    1 Boots.
    1 Tennis.
    1 Hikers.
    1 Basketball.
    1 Sandals.

    Materialism isn't limited to females. Stoopid males also go around gobbing up needless electronics and clothing to combat in a consumeristic dickwad contest. I don't give a damn how people spend their money, but at minimal I can make fun of how people spend their money (or whoever was dumb enough to give them money to spend).

    Don't blow your load mrbubbles: rational-minded people don't make it a matter of principle to exclude certain clothing from their wardrobe just because it's a certain brand. Personally, if I like the way something looks, I'll wear/buy it (if it's reasonably priced), regardless of the brand.

    And that's 13 pairs of shoes you've listed, how the fuck could any guy have so many? A more realistic list would be
    one pair of running shoes
    two pairs of casual shoes
    two pairs of dress shoes

    That's it :star:

    no sports shoes???
    i got:
    pair of soccer cleats
    pair of basketball shoes
    2 pairs of runners
    pair of sandals
    2 pairs of dress shoes
    1 pair of casuals

    8 in total for me, but most of these are in the back of the closet, my daily shoes would be the runners/sandals, and the cleats for the weekends

    Branding is quite personal, rationality doesn't apply.

    Yeah, I currently own: 1 pair of shoes. 1 pair of dress shoes. 1 pair of flip-flops. 1 pair of slippers.

    I'm pretty branded. Brands totally impact what I will buy and wear. But I'm not a logo person... as in I will buy brand name clothing that do not flash the logos around everywhere.
  • edited August 2008
    I agree ^.

    I think people that wear stuff like ARMANI EXCHANGE, and its in giant letters across their chest...well it looks stupid.

    For one: If youre going to buy Armani, don't buy armani exchange, buy armani.

    Secondly: Stuff with giant logos looks tacky, and whats the point of paying for so much for something you can buy generic, that looks bad as well.

    Consumerism is bad, but I've been brain washed, and everyone around me.

    It's not stupid. AX appeals to young hormone driven male with high desire to procreate with materialistic females who judge others base on their choice of clothing. Perfect match. Ideally, AX is unnecessary, but the emotional need of the target consumers override that logic. How else are you going to get people to shell out $100 on a T-shirt they don't need?

    I beg to differ. It's the only motive to keep people working: buying shit they don't need. The most consumeristic nation on the planet also has the highest work hour week: United States. Coincidence?

    Consumerism drives economic and technological growth. Without consumerism, the advancement you see today wouldn't be here. The iPods, laptops, your bloody cars, cellphones, it wouldn't exist. By logic, everyone of those items are unnecessary, but majority of people have them.

    Face it people, you buy brand name because emotionally you cannot fathom to wear generic, you are conditioned to feel empty and inferior because your clothing doesn't sports the latest acceptable brand. Brainwashing indeed.

    I like to think that I don't put too much consideration into the brand. I buy stuff if I like it and it isn't too expensive.

    me.
    you mean emporio/giorgio armani! hahaha, A/X shirts arnt 100.. try $30 on sale!!

    i wear flashy designer shit cuz im a poser, I try to avoid generic stuff tho cuz I like things that are unique, eye catching and stand out.. which is why I dont like 80% of my attire lol...

    i have easily 30+ free shirts from playing basketball yet I never wear any of them

    remember kanye west said it best " how am I suppose to respect your decision when you can't even decide what shirt to go with what shoes" or something like that

    I feel like a scrub when I'm not dressed right

    Brand name clothes mixed with cheap stuff that doesn't look tacky or plain bad looking works for me.

    The worst way to dress is to cover yourself from head to toe with either all-brand names or all-generic shit.

    Ah, and one trend that I hate is how the men's jeans these days ride up so far up, my balls itch like hell if I wear'em. Thank god I get to buy some normal jeans while I'm outside of Canada.
