I'm done with Levis (Rant)

[Bird]

I'm getting to the point that I'm going to buy 7 sets of the exact same shirts, pants, underwear and socks and throw all my other clothes away. It'd make my closet and drawers a whole lot less cluttered and make my life simpler.

I might even buy one of those circular apparel racks like you see in a store and hang everything on that. That way I'm not digging in the corner of the closet, I can just walk around the dang thing.

That just makes good sense to me, but have you asked your wife? I wear Dickies short sleeved coveralls more than 99% of the time and the last time I bought any, I just bought 3 of the same light blue color, and I already had 2 or 3 of that same color. My wife hasn't let me forget that I should have at least gotten some different colors.:laughing:

I would love to... my wife wouldn't allow. I still wear shirts that are older than my adult kids when I can get away with it. She routinely buys clothes for me because I hate shopping unless I know exactly what I want. She purges my underwear and socks all the time without me knowing. Occasionally I will be looking for some beat up short pants. I'm in them most of the time if I can... but they go missing too! Jeans and shirts however she leaves to me to toss as she knows that is crossing the line.

I'm not original at all, usually when I find a shirt I like, I buy it in multiple colors. I'm terrible on jeans. It seems like I'm always wearing a good pair when I get into a project that requires wearing an old pair. I think Shellie might start being the clothes **** at my house, before I can start a project. I can hear her now, "Wearing new jeans? NO painting for you!"

just like Steve Jobs and Donald Trump and many other busy, successful people. They basically develop their own daily uniform.

There is a lot of sense in it.

Even the underwear that is held onto the elastic by three strands of cotton? There is lots of wear left in those. Unless of course the bottoms have holes so that they don't contain sharts (cross between sh#t and far%s).

I am not seeing anyone talk about Lees. They used to compete with Levis.

I wear some colored ones to work but I can't say that I have seen blue Lee jeans

Yes, but usually it is a case of all of the above!

While I am not as "bad" as Bird, I do have my basic clothes for one job that is a uniform of sorts. The "uniform" changes with the seasons but I wear Duluth shorts, light long pants or heavy long pants depending on the weather. The color is tan or black and tan is easy to match with shirts. My shirts are solid color polo shirts, long or short sleeves, again depending on the weather. It really is a uniform. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Duluth has some really good, long wearing, thick, wool, socks for when I wear boots and I think I bought the socks I wear for running shoes from Duluth as well. The last set of wool boot socks I bought was from REI 20 years ago. They finally wore out, though I think they could be darned a bit to get more time out of them, but I don't have any darn time to darn.

The clothes are comfortable, and work with the seasons, so it works for me. The family is not so impressed. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Later,

My wife was laughing at me the other day. All my clothes (shirts) are some shade of khaki, olive drab, brown. My pants are either blue jeans or olive drab. I'm not original at all.
