I see nothing wrong with paying $150 for a pair of jeans that fit well. I’d do it if I could afford it. But I’m not crazy about the finish or the colors on the jeans shown in that site. VS does it better. Way better. For around $50. ---

Okay, so if those are “Seven” jeans, what on earth are the trendy young-boy jeans of the too-big type that have the number 7 with a crown over it on the back left pocket? Coming in here, I thought that was what th OP was talking about. ---

Can I just briefly pit the kind of pants I hate? _Khakis_. They’re just so … bland. In fact, they’re so bland that you usually see models wearing them when sweaters, shirts, or jackets are being pitched, so as not to divert attention from the thing being advertised. Show some class. Dress down and wear some nice jeans. Dress up and wear a sharp suit. But for the love of god, not khakis! ---

But it’s not a **manly** squiggle. \<-- Intended as an obvious joke. If you take it or me seriously then get over it. ---

Ah, yes. Those would be the Seagram’s Seven Crown jeans I’ve heard so much about. You can only get those by sending in the tax seals from (as I recall) thirty-five bottles of Seagram’s Seven Crown Canadian Whiskey. Or I could have just made that up. :dubious: ---

I like the stitching! They’ve come up with something that’s very distinctive, and–IMHO at least–gender neutral. One day the wavy pattern over the straight line might become as universally recognized as the Levi symbol. ---
