It's one of those places where your wife goes while on vacation in some town that has one, and comes back all excited because she "only paid $75 for this $400 pair of jeans!".

So, just like every clothing store, ever. Except for LexieWear, that brings that shit TO YOUR HOUSE, has you buy 30 deserts for your wife and her friends, drink all your good wine, and THEN gets you to pay "only $75 for this $500 pair of jeans!". Fuck.

Anyone need some jeans?

Lurch hit the nail on the head. Of course it worked to my advantage in SF. There is a pretty good little bar across the street from one of the H&Ms, so while the lady shopped for three hours I shot the shit with the bartender and got to enjoy quite a few brews we can't get here in Texas.

I should add that I did actually consider buying some jeans at H&M (for guys it's more like $30 for $70 jeans, I suppose), but as hipsters don't typically have waistlines above 34 I was unable to find anything in my size. It let me get to the beer quicker, though.

Good info. It's been a while since I had a 34" waist. Come to think of it...I had a 32" waist in college and then it suddenly spiked to...well something more than 34". It didn't spend much time in between.

A few years ago, I worked my ass off and got down to 33". Did you know they made 33"? Me either.

Anyone need some size 33" jeans?

I was a 33" for a while. Although I did not work my ass off to get there...it was merely a pit-stop on my way to a 36". or 38". whatever the hell my wife buys me now.

drew corleone · « **Reply #12 on:** September 21, 2011, 02:00:09 pm »

I haven't had a 34 waist since HS. Maybe early college. Last summer I dropped down to 36 long enough to buy some pants that fit perfect for six weeks.

33" is typically the last odd numbered size you'll see.

I buy a lot of 35s, but I have to order them online. I don't know if that is a requirement for them or if I am just too lazy to go to the store.

I wish they'd build odd lengths, too. 32 is too short, 34 is often too long.

If I'm buying Levis 501 I know that 33w and 36i will fit. So that is pretty much the only jeans I buy. And they ain't getting cheaper.

Levis 505 36-34 used to be a reliable fit for me. But somewhere along the line they fucked with the cut of the jeans, and new ones fit completely different than old ones. Now I'm back on a quixotic search for jeans that fit comfortably. And I *hate* shopping; I want to walk in a store, grab my jeans, and get the fuck out.

My wife roped me into going in there while we were in SF too. She is a quick shopper so we were in and out of there in 15 minutes. I had no idea what the place was. Basically a bigger GAP with more accessories. They were selling a hat in there to the hipsters that was a dead ringer for free bowl of soup hat from Caddyshack.

Here is a pic of it from my BB

And hide yo husbands because apparently they sell menswear in there which is yet another bit of information I learned from SNS.

Ha! It's just a weird place. Their clothes don't seem to be high-quality, but they have trendy styles and they're fairly inexpensive. Hence, Hipster Old Navy.

Yeah, it's not high quality stuff, which is why it's so cheap. If there's a piece of clothing that you wouldn't wear much that you do need for some reason (like a big parka for a trip or something), it's a good destination.

Look, many of us have our eccentricities. But I don't know of anyone around here who has a huge munitions supply in the spare bedroom in order to secure his quarter acre perimeter in the inevitable event that he is attacked by Mexicans, Arabs, Mormons, aliens, Katrina evacuees, Kenyans or, quite possibly, all at the same time.

A couple of five gallon jugs of distilled water in the pantry strikes me as sensible. A box of live hand grenades strikes me as overkill.
