tag is more entry level, as evidenced by all the bootleg tags you see hs kids rock.
2 button > 3 button, especially if you're shorter. A lower stance will reveal more of the shirt/tie, plus it'll give the illusion of you being more open/welcoming.

I don't understand why you need some special thread - just ask them when they hem to keep the original cuffs of the jeans. Doesn't everywhere do this?

youre talking to a dude that normally cuts the bottoms of my jeans to fit.
plaese to explain the "save the cuffs" phenomenon. you telling me they cut them things and glue them back on at a shorter length? im not following.

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. Final result = exact same jeans look as when you bought it, except shorter.

Different waist sizes, too. Crazy, right?
The mind boggles at the thought of all the permutations...
yes, take them to any tailor and they'll be able to hem it for you to your desired length. Obviously you get what you pay for, so if it's a janky dry cleaner spot doing it for $5, it might not look so hot.
caveat emptor, you should only hem straight leg jeans. Boot cut will look ridiculous when hemmed. Also, it is wise to wash/dry your jeans first before bringing them in for tailoring, to account for shrinkage.

I'm thinking you could use the extra denim to have a special interior pocket added within which to stash your pacifier and X pillz.

Shig, Ignore the haters. What you need to read is a NY Times article on this very subject. Unfortunately, you will need someone with either Times Select or access to older articles to view it. Good luck with that.
forget it. i found it online. that article is kinda useless though. its basically a lady complaining about where to get jeans hemmed. fuck, i should get paid then.
Sorry it wasn't too helpful, at least now you know you have company in your sorrows. And that your company seems to be ladies.
I had just read the article when it came out, but it did not apply to me since I have not bought jeans outside of a thrift store in 6-8 years. That is not a fact I am particularly proud of.
short ties suck, but skinny ties are apparnetly the shit nwo there's a company in l.a. that makes them with vintage fabric, very very nice .. like 125 dolla though
Although come to think of it, the dual Patek look is secondary to this dude from Denver that I occasionally have to deal with. He has a watchband for his giant Rolex made of a dozen chained-together gold nuggets. I guess they had been panned by his granddad during the olden mining days, and he had a jeweler in Milan hook it up.
We were having a business dinner at Brasserie Bofinger in Paris the first time I saw it - the look on the waiter's face was priceless.
Do some sheets/fabrics get considerably softer with repeated use/washing? Because I picked up this set of 820 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets recently and, I don't know, they're kind of not cutting it.
Travel-related:
Has anyone been (back) to Cancun since the big hurricane went through there last year? I've read that the hotels are supposed to be functioning at ~90% by the summer, but that the sand on the beach along hotel zone was washed away and has to be pumped back in from the ocean or something. I didn't see a timeline for when that would be completed and the beach restored. I'm not trying to go back just yet if conditions are not ideal for the kind of relaxation to which I'm accustomed.

I feel you on that. The look that says "It's cool to see you all, but please know that after I leave here, I'm going somewhere much nicer."
second time today I've had to use it, but it's so much fun.
tag is more entry level, as evidenced by all the bootleg tags you see hs kids rock.
2 button > 3 button, especially if you're shorter. A lower stance will reveal more of the shirt/tie, plus it'll give the illusion of you being more open/welcoming.
Where's that graemlin of your head saying "Mold Is Huge"?

Man, my old boss used to rock alligator-skin cowboy boots and a Patek Phillipe on each wrist - I think he had six or seven that he rotated through.
