And this relates to BGW how?

 

[Jahrules]

It doesn't. That's why it's in everything else rather than a different place?

You know I stared at this for a good 20 minutes, pondering what this meant. Then it hit me.

Lululemon*

 

[Jahrules]

Fixed it.

My wife is excited.

My wallet... Not as much.

I love their stuff. They have a loose yoga men’s pant that I loooove.

 

[warfelg]

Just want to add if you are a guy and haven’t tried their men’s wear because you think there’s a stigma....get the fuck over it. Their stuff is amazing. There’s a pair of pants that I actually wear for work. Look dressy but are really sweat pants. Along with the yoga pants. And the 3/4 length leggings are the best I’ve ever gotten.

 

[Ice]

The price tag is a strong no from me. If I'm dropping that kind of money, I may as well get some nice professional clothing. 100$ for shorts that don't even go halfway down your thigh is criminal.

 

[Jahrules]

Not to mention that nobody wants to see me in shorts like that... ?

 

[Ice]

Quite the contrary over here. I'd love to grace a good view of my shiner upon the public, but the wallet says otherwise.

 

[warfelg]

As someone that regularly drops $140 on work pants (golf pants are f’in expensive); $128 regular and $75 on same are a damn steal. And they’re better than the more expensive one.

 

[Ice]

I get high end chinos for like 60$-70$ each. Granted I don't need to dress better than business casual ever.

 

[warfelg]

I was always brought up with “pay for quality get quality; go cheap get cheap”. So once a year I plan on spending about $600 on 5-6 pairs of work pants. When I was getting Nike and Under Armor ($70-90 a pair) I would have to spend the same amount for 9-10 pairs knowing that they would need to be replaced or worn less often.

I guess it’s why I don’t freak out about it. I’ve had my Luluemon yoga sweats for 4 years now and they still look good. Only reason I got a second pair was to get grey to go with the black.

A pair of Wrangler comfort waist band jeans from Walmart is my go to. $22 and we're set for about anything.

 

[warfelg]

Every pair of Wranglers I’ve had have lasted exactly 6 weeks 3 days.

However I have 3 pairs of these:

That I got for Christmas 5 years ago and have never replaced

I like Aeropostale.

 

[Ice]

I of course don't settle for cheap and sacrifice quality. I don't mark name brand like Nike with quality however, moreso paying for legacy at that rate. I've had great experience with Abboud, Calvin, Banana Republic. None are "cheap", but I at least feel like I'm getting a good product, when I've had bad experiences with any of the bigger more household-name brands. Even though as of late Calvin has been teetering that line.

That’s fair. Lululemon isn’t the lowest prices in town but it’s really high quality. Like I mentioned. The fact that you spend $118 on a pair of sweats freaks you out, but when you look 2 years down the road and still have them it strikes you how good they are.

Yeah, but you're supposed to take them off and wash them every so often. ?
