[Politics] Why do we all wear jeans?

[Questions]

Joggers for work and joggers around the house.

I'm going into town today to buy a pair, as it happens. 32" short leg, in case you were wondering. I favour the "worn in" look, but I don't go as extreme as my son, who likes having those ones with big holes in them.
Whats that all about ?

buying purposely damaged goods for a premium is symomatic of some issue in society. it'll be studied in decade to come.

Can I just say that this thread, in the wake of one the most dispiriting defeats in a long time, is a candidate for the most NSC thing ever?

I respectfully disagree. To make it a bit more NSC I'd like to ask what everyone's favourite song about jeans is, and start by proposing this:

Haven't worn jeans for decades down to a number of reasons, when they get wet, they stay damp for ages making it uncomfortable, but mainly down to to the fact I could never seem to get a pair that fit well on my body.

I genuinely had no idea there was an alternative to wearing jeans before I opened this thread.

I've not owned a pair of blue jeans in 15 years, maybe longer. Do have a couple of black pairs.

Anyone who wears joggers in public aside from on the way to a sporting activity or the bins should be put on a register.

I wouldn't call it my favourite but it does repeat a lyric many times.

Knew a girl, years ago, who always sang “the reverend blue jeans” now it’s stuck in my head. Thanks Angie!

I knew there were more than I was thinking earlier.

Red blue jeans but it's not Whitesnake.

I can't believe nobody remembered this one.........................till now.

I have a couple of pairs of jeans. But for years didn’t wear them at all.

I mainly wear jeans, combat trousers, chino type things or joggers. It’s good to mix it up.

Anyone who doesn’t think joggers should be worn in public has no style.

Get the right pair of joggers, pair it with the right top and foot wear and you can look golden.

The right top and footwear is not leather jacket and formal shoes. A la Russian gangster.

I like the Levi Strauss story. Started out making workwear for prospectors in the Californian gold-rush.

I believe he coined one of my favourite phrases, because it reminds me to look for alternative ways of doing things;

“If you want to get rich in a gold-rush, sell shovels”

Nope, not worn or even owned Jeans in about 10 years. Then again 70% of that I've lived in warmer weather and most of the other 30% wasn't in the West. Not sure if those are parts of it.
