What makes Diesel Jeans so good?

So "Chinamen" was the preferred nomenclature back then?

If I can trust my memory from 12 years ago, "Chinamen" was the word used in the Levis advertisement. This was back when the first transcontinental railroad was being built, and Chinese and Irish were widely discriminated against in the U.S.

Just another bit of trivia - the reason Chinese are stereotyped as working in laundries/dry cleaners is because in the past, it was true. Laundries were hot, smelly, and a crappy working environment, so the Chinese laborers would end up with those jobs.

Back on topic - Unless $200 jeans guarantee me a different hottie every night, there's no way I'm buying them.

Every laundromat I've used so far has been Chinese.

Now that's a man who's comfortable with himself. A real man. Not afraid to wear jorts and walk his tiny dog. A real man does his thing and doesn't give a fuck what anybody else thinks. No need to wear girly jeans designed by homosexual men to trick himself into thinking he's a man.

:thumbsup:

Wow, the dog makes that guy look like a total wuss.

Update #2-

Got my jeans and tried them all out:
Lucky ($31) - My favorite pair, and no more expensive than levis. Nice, antique finish, fits outstanding, made in the USA, and I love the the thinner material.

Buffalo ($45) - Really nice, a noticeable step up from walmart crap but only marginally better than my favorite pair of levis. Made in china but fits great, but I wouldn't seek out the brand again

Mavi ($46) - Hand made, great finish and great material but (being a Europe brand, I guess), the cut seems to be a size smaller. I'll revisit it when I lose more weight.

All in all, I get why spending more on jeans make sense sometimes, and thrifty shopping can lead to great deals. I look forward to losing some wait and getting a pair of Diesels (I'll wait until I can find a pair for $75 or so).

*The biggest advantage: My Lucky's are now my favorite jeans because the thing material and premium cotton breathes so well - I don't get soggy, sweaty underwear! It's been quite humid and hot in NYC and I've worn them nearly every day this week and they don't reek - that sounds gross but most other jeans would be drenched in sweat by now.

Good luck with the jeans...if you are drenched in sweat and in a profession, why not talk to the boss about shorts.

FLEABAG!!

i have some pairs of diesel for dressier jeans. pretty useful and comfortable. what's ridiculous is some of the styles - they're so effing slim i put a pair on and wanted to die

 

[brianmanahan]

i've lost some weight over COVID since i dont eat out anymore, so i'm tempted to give a pair of these a try

maybe some 7 for all mankinds would look fashionable with a good fitting sport coat?

I love when old threads get bumped and I learn that 10 years ago I posted something like this:

Agreed, Wranglers are actually pretty decent for work jeans and the price is hard to beat but yeah beyond that ...ummmm....no thanks. If you want a cheap pair of jeans you don't mind fucking up by getting mud, manure, acid, grease, oil, ect. on then Wranglers aren't bad but if you want something with a nice fit, cut, and feel then they aren't it.

I've noticed some of the jeans now stretch because the jean material is mixed with Spandex. I bought like 10 pairs of the same Urban Star jeans from Costco because I liked the style and it was on clearance for $7.97 each. It stretches so it doesn't totally feel like blue jeans but looks like it.

I think it's this one.

Spandex Jeans? Do I want to look like that jacket that Marty McFly used to wear with the expandable sleeves or something? LOL.

Edit: Then again, if they could keep the jeans from ripping out (when I sit down), that might have some real utility!

I must really like Spandex because my favorite UB Tech travel pants also has 6% Spandex. I like the UB Tech travel pants so much I bought 14 pairs so I would have lifetime supply in case its discontinued. I even wrote a post about UB Tech travel pants.

Levi jeans are the best looking jeans. They defined the style, and anything else is a poor imitation.

I like the way you think even if you don't think this way anymore because I know this thread is really old and opinions change over time but anyway...
I got several pair of Levi 527's in Medium Chipped color and I really like the way they look, fit, and feel. They are my go to "everyday" jean.

DU/ER makes amazing pants. I have not tried their denim yet but I have had a couple pairs of their No Sweat Pants and they look great and are fantastic for lounging around the house in due to the comfort and blend of fabrics. I was usually picking up Buffalo and Lucky denim when I saw it at Costco and those were my daily drivers, but the No Sweats have changed my outlook on pants.

Hey those look pretty nice. I like the No Sweat Pant Relaxed in the gull color. Do they hold up well over time? Do they wash ok?

I have that exact pair, relaxed fit in Gull - I feel the pants look like they have the slightest hint of like an olive or moss tint to the gray vs the picture, but it could be my vision has some very slight color blindness to it. I've had them a few months so washed them maybe 10 times, no issues. They are soft and comfy. I prefer the slate color, but that's only in slim fit. But I wear these pants every week, my jeans have taken a back seat to my No Sweat Pants most of the time. I want more pairs but they are pricey.
