It was the Levis. Try the ensemble with a pair of Carhartts next time. Redneck be damned, you could fix my anything!

Winners.

I wait for christmas and birthdays. Or I buy a pair of jeans about every 18 months. Unless it's cycling clothing, then I'm at MEC or I shop online.

Ha, yup this is me 2. Suddenly, of all travesties, I am told that wearing clothing that I got at the beer store really doesn't cut it anymore. And here I thought that I was saving time - go to the beer store and get a shirt too!

Anywho, my wife likes to dress me at RW. Well she would dress me there a lot more if we could afford it a lot more...I actually don't mind it, but its a bit more yuppy than I like....

Surprisingly, you can find the odd thing or 2 at Sears that is not too bad. Not everything, but the odd thing or two.

Marks has pretty good stuff.

Christmas is a good time for me also. My brothers wife knows where to find all the bargains and she usually sends me 4 -5 Polo shirts a year.

I only shop at Banana Republic. I hate shopping, and they have some nice clothes, so I just go there once a season and pick up a few things.

Hemi-Cuda · 05-09-2007, 03:56 PM

well i feel better, hottie coworker who just happens to love shopping is all too willing to help me out. she also seems to have a very good fashion sense, so hopefully all i have to do is tag along and bring my wallet

Excellent, now just pull the "Can you come into the change room with me while I try on these different pairs of pants?" line...

...Bow-chicka-bow-bow

You probably shouldn't call it 'junk'. I'm thinking that if it's junk, I don't want to know about it, let alone see it at any point ever.

As far as what carhartts are, they're the heavy canvass overalls that construction workers wear. They make just about any man look hot. Black version specifically.

And here I go.

Sundeep_Malhi might not like it, but I love Marks Work Warehouse, don't need to shop anywhere else. Shirts elsewhere. The carhhart hoodies are the best thing ever made.

True that. Carhartts are HOT. I think I like the pants better than the overalls though. Strangely, I think a guy in a pair of those would probably catch my eye before a guy wearing anything else would.

I do the vast majority of my shopping online. I find for the same price as Banada Republic, Mexx, Armani's exchange, I can get the stuff online for much cheaper. Basically, I can get everything they have at Henry for half the price.

Only in Alberta!

Any websites you'd like to share with us?

That sounds pretty familiar. Apparently dressing like a hobo doesn't go over well with quite a few of the ladies. My wife is really bad for using the beg forgiveness instead of ask permission when it comes to clothes. She'll come back with 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants for me from shopping and start the sobbing of how she just wants me to look good. Of course if I make her take it back she just uses the money to buy more clothes for herself....And than she wonders why we never get to go on any trips anymore no matter how often I explain to her that $350 a month NOT spent on clothes and candles and other frivolous stuff = enough for a winter vacation somewhere nice.

Yeah, you should see our new patio set/hot tub/place settings/flower beds/lawn chairs bla bla bla then I get in trouble when the funds start getting tapped! So what if I bought a chainsaw.....I needed one!
