A guy goes to the mall...

On occasion everyone needs new jeans. All summer I wear shorts but the weather has turned cool.

I made a trip to the local mall today to buy jeans. I turned off the ignition of my car and walked from the far end of the parking lot where no one else was parked. I head into the mall and head to the Levi section of Dillard's. That is 22 steps from inside the door. I grab three pair of the same size and style of jeans. I try on one pair, they fit, get dressed buy all three pairs. I am in my car and driving away just 10 minutes and 30 seconds after arrival. That is how a real man shops at the mall. I will not go back to the mall until next year.

That's the man's hunter instinct.

Need Jeans.

Find them.

Kill them.

Drag them home.

You actually try the jeans on? Not me, still the same size, year after year... Find the right size, pick a few out and I'm on my way home.

I order them by mail, sometimes grab them at Costco. I never go to malls. Around the holidays, I try not to step foot in any retail store other than grocery and gun stores.

Those F-ers at Levis, et. al. change the cut of those pants from time to time. Particularly for the skinny emo or hipster crowd. Its not like the old days.

I stick with the 501's, I haven't had a problem - yet. The day Levi's changes the 501, I'm going to be in trouble.

I would buy the same size year after year, but my johnson just keeps growing. I might need to look into some kind of '3rd leg' custom model by the time I'm 50.

+1 but I've solved the problem by just tucking it into my sock before I put my pants on.

Good luck!

I stopped wearing jeans years ago. I wear these things

Original G Pant - MS9-0652-56 by: Gramicci - gramicci.com

Lighter and cooler than jeans, don't take up an entire carryon bag when folded, more freedom of movement, don't need a belt, and can get them in basic gray. I wait for the sale and buy my year's supply.

I know, the website is way too granola-y, but when I started wearing them 15 years ago, they were mostly worn by climbers. Not sure when they became so New Age.

Mail order is your friend. Gave up my 501s for these. Function is king and I don't have to go to any store

5.11 Tactical TacLite Pro Pants PLUS FREE BELT are in stock now. 511 Tactical is the #1 choice of the operator.
