So my $200 custom fit AG jeans from Nordstrom would be inferior to $15 slacks from Walmart in 1st class?
Anyone who over pays for pants by 65% ... well, what can I say. "$200 custom fit" must be a part for a boat or airplane. Can not even comprehend what the heck you are referring to. For $200 I'd be expecting "genes" not "jeans." It has been a while since we handed out any awards on this site. Leave us your address and one of our lovely assistants will get this to you right away in the mail: http://www.snapon.com/include/images...13/TOMJune.jpg |

Costco ... $9, member via friend's business. In Portland there is no sales tax & bus is free.

This fashion discussion is really going to get interesting when the new hires start asking for advice about uniforms pants.
You've got your $200 fine woolens or you've got Check Essential's solution: http://cdn-7.famouslogos.us/images/w...DTA7_wrnx3.jpg http://www.walmart.com/ip/George-Men...Pants/13279267 |

I understand this is definitely the wrong venue to discuss fashion but hey, most pilots are nerds.
So next you are going to tell me Van Halen wasn't better with David Lee Roth? In reality, my wife and daughter dress me or else that's exactly the look I'd be sportin and proud of it. |
I have no earthly idea what tailored AG jeans are. I'm guessing that they have lots of bling on the back pockets though, and look really nice, ON A WOMAN. I do agree that more expensive cloths last longer, but $200 for man's jeans is absurd. While some in our ranks do dress horribly on layovers, you can still dress nice without looking like a woman.
