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:

My point was, looking sharp doesn't necessarily mean low end slacks from a low end retailer. Expensive clothes last a lot longer and they tailor them to you. I've bought clothes from H & M and Target that lasted 2 weeks. I've had jeans and pants that lasted 7 years. Are you one of the guys on layovers that wears the tight stonewash jeans with NB sneakers? I understand this is definitely the wrong venue to discuss fashion but hey, most pilots are nerds.

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:

You following me?

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.

Ha! Exactly. My wife was the one who introduced me as well to nicer clothing but she's the one with all the $.

I spill coffee on all my shirts and get paint on all my shorts and pants. My wardrobe is paint and coffee stained. My wife rolls her eyes at me for this daily. My favorite life is good t shirt just went in the shop rag pile because of this. I have my standard layover stuff and my uniforms. Everything else is used. I get a number 1 clipper cut from my wife. I am not a metrosexual. I don't even want to live in a neighborhood filled with metrosexuals. I use tools on my days off and I like it.

I get a kick out of beach vacationers who are renting a house and everything they are wearing just had the tag removed. I'd rather own the house.

Yeah, but when we got to the Home Depot, we know the look ...

R E S P E C T



The mystery is, why is Latex paint water soluble unless it lands on a Life is Good shirt the other half of the "parenting team" paid $35 for "on sale" while you were out of town? Anything that hits an expensive shirt sticks like it's electroplated on there. In fact, Delta should put a "Life is Good" shirt on radomes and paint them white ....

Meanwhile I've got T-Shirts from crappy corporate promotions (anyone need the State Farm Neigh Bear on a shirt?) which are infriggindestrucable.
