Maintaining your sexy as a DJ should be a priority, unless you bring your dog to the set.

In the past, with stuff like jeans (which are pretty standard and not really subject to whims and vagary, that other fashion garments suffer) I will, when I find a pair that become like a second skin, buy the exact pair again and keep them at the bottom of the draw, until the current pair die.

I'm with bassie on the waist/length thing...I'm big bit I am also tall..it seems that any store you go into..as the waist goes high, the inseam gets shorter..WTF?I gotta go online for pants...ya ever try and find a pair of 38/34 in a store? It's impossible.

This makes sense. I'm of pretty average proportions so I usually don't have problems, except by the time there's a sale my size is always gone.
I had a jean jacket years ago that I loved by a defunct company (Edwin) and I wore it until it was practically a mesh shirt - never washed it once.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
Years ago some supermodel type stopped me on the street and was like WHERE DID YOU GET THAT? saying that they had been OOP for years, that was the extent of my research.

Thanks. I did a little research since your post and found out that supermodel was right, my jacket was probably from the 70's and would be worth many $$$ if I still had it in decent shape. I bought it in the early 90's at Domsies and it was already pretty old at that time.
They don't sell in the U.S. and they are pretty pricey now anyway.

And dry cleaning 2x a year? I suggest laundering your denim every 1 to 4 times you wear it. Wash your siht, folls.
it's true. laundering doesn't apply to expensive high quality raw denim. when you buy a pair of $200-$400 jeans you want it to last and every jeansmith here is going to tell you not to wash unless you absolutely have to. one wash can turn a pair of raw denim black jeans indigo.
and yes, it is kinda gross but it's kind of an established don't ask/don't tell rule when it comes to raw denim. ha

J i m s t e r said:$35 for jeans is balleur to me. PRIMARK, baby. Decent threads for less than a tenner. Rotate about 5 pairs, they only fray on the ground, but (and DocMc will back me up here) the Scally look has never gone out of fashion.
Thank f*ck.
If you're going the budget route, Uniqlo is way better, and much more stylish too. I still wear my jeans with a slight turn-up, just enough to show off the selvedge - never been able to let go of that 80s thing where you rocked your 501s like that to show they were 60's/70's vintage - but fraying is an inevitability, yeah.
The first place I saw evidence of the flares revival was at Maine Road in 84/85, oddly enough.
Anyway - as infrequenly as possible without being a public menace, but inside out, 30 degrees, mild liquid detergent, line-dry.

i've worn the same pair of APC new standards without washing them for over a year.
i always use the freezer trick - doesn't clean shit, but zaps away the stink
