Casual Raver

[PaulieWalnuts]

I miss JNCO Stove Pipes, BEFORE they put those bigass tacky logos on the butts.

Srsly: imagine a world of wide-leg jeans WITHOUT tacky big logos. Yes, there was a world once upon a time. It was called The 90s.

My style is raver casual. I used to wear my light-blue Stove Pipe JNCO's to a white-collar job with a collared shirt and tie. I could get away with it because the legs bottomed at respectful ankle-length, the legs themselves were true straight legs and not exaggerated cut, and I wore nice shoes with them. And then, after work I'd take the tie off and rock the one-button-open collared shirt. I ain't guido, lol, I know when classy turns tacky.

Which is why I can't buy straight-leg pants any more:
EVERY PAIR OF STOVE PIPE JEANS MADE TODAY HAS A BIGASS UGLY LOGO SOMEWHERE IN PLAIN SIGHT.

I go out of my way to buy certain clothing types for two primary reasons:

1) durability.
2) timeless style, and that means proper discretion in labelling.

I've never bought any ECKO or PRADA or NORTH POLE or UFO or ABERCROMBIE, or even very much NAUTICA, casual wear because they put big logos on a lot of their shit and Mama didn't raise me to be anyone else's bitch or anyone else's billboard. The one American Eagle product I do own has no label at all. If you want me to advertise your shit then YOU pay ME. Otherwise, FUCK YOU.


I swear this to be true; the biggest visible manufacturer's logo on any piece of clothing I own are the "501" labels on my three pairs of Levi jeans. I'll stand that label because it's a good product.

Most JNCOs quit after 250-500 washings. Levis are good for two thousand and more.
