With those Dragon jeans they are special. U might say the holy grail of denim. They cost over $1000 new, are serial numbered, Japanese selvage denim. I literally have seen 25 pairs of knock offs to every pair of real RMC denim. The Dragons are the top of his line.

RMC was real popular with the Hip Hop artists..and kicked off the embrodery of the back pocket style. They are small high quality production run jeans. So to get them for $10 in a Thrift.

When you buy something that cost $1000 new at a thrift for $10, what is the actual value of it?

Hard to say, unless you put it on eBay or another efficient market and see what it will actually sell for.

Almost all of the RMC's on Ebay are fake.

Blah blah blah. I didn't work my entire life to wear fancy clothes. I am happy in shorts, newish tee, and some comfortable flip flops. If the eating establishment is not cool with that than I don't care to spend money there.

You keep on thinking that and I will keep on hanging out with my friends like Sky.

I've been keeping my weight down and can comfortably fit in Levis I've had forever though I haven't worn anything but shorts in months. Last Friday they became draggin' azz jeans....1k is a bargain . So Tabby...when you first laid eyes on Sky, what grabbed your attention ....her flip-flops or her shoes ?

Saw somewhere else you posted that you'd dropped a lot of weight also....kudos!!!

Last year I got a great pair of over-sized striped chef's pants that I rolled the cuffs up and used as part of my pirate costume for Halloween. Aye Matey

You mean Sky in the photo, wearing shorts, tee, and flops

I actually have to dress up now and then - which is fun on occasion only. Here is a picture of my wife and I at the recent wedding of our niece. Fun evening out.



That said with the money I spent recently on a suit and the outfit pictured I should have hit up one of your thrift shops. Until this wedding event I have not spent money on dress clothes for 10+ years. Life in SoCal

Brown shoes REALLY?

Yes you could of bought some really nice QUALITY stuff at a Thrift for the cost of the shirt.

QUALITY COSTS MONEY...except when you find it at a Thrift.

For instance Zanella Italian wool slacks are exceptional quality and they are reasonably expensive at $300 up. Quality cloths also fit better as they don't scrimp in the cutting of and quality of the material. Further the attention to detail in the fit and finish is exceptional. You look and feel better in Zanella's than in Haggars.

To be honest most people dress like bums.

Dressing well does not necessarily mean dressing up, you can dress up or you can dress down to the grunge...but the key is to do it well, that means paying attention to detail and colours.

Women notice how you dress.

They're particularly nice when one is going after the Jesse Pinkman look.

"Cheap is small and not too steep
But best of all cheap is cheap
Circumstance has forced my hand
To be a cut price person in a low budget land
Times are hard but we'll all survive
I just got to learn to economize

I'm on a low budget
I'm on a low budget
I'm not cheap, you understand
I'm just a cut price person in a low budget land
Excuse my shoes they don't quite fit
They're a special offer and they hurt me a bit
Even my trousers are giving me pain
They were reduced in a sale so I shouldn't complain
They squeeze me so tight so I can't take no more
They're size 28 but I take 34

I'm shopping at Woolworth and low discount stores
I'm dropping my standards so that I can buy more

I'm on a low budget
What did you say
I'm on a low budget
I thought you said that
I'm on a low budget
I'm a cut price person in a low budget land"
