    Been looking for some tracksuits, I worked at footlocker in the 90's so I had a lot.

    It's hard to find them in my size they all seem to be on backorder.

    My Marvel tees from the 1990s. I still don't know what happened to them. I still have all my Rockets gear from the 90s.

    Never heard of those but look pretty awesome. I’d be down to break in a pair if I could find them. Are they true size or do you go down a half or full size and break them in? It is rope after all right?

    It seems anymore like I get maybe ten wears out of a regular pair of Levi's before I start getting holes in them, or the zipper won't stay up, or some crap. But these "Authentics Signature" jeans by Levi Strauss and Co. that picked up at Kohl's or some place like it 20+ years ago are still going strong. They're easily the best damn jeans I've ever owned. Wish I had bought more of them. :(

    I'm sure they stretched some being rope and getting wet and all, but it's been 25 years dude! I'm sure there's some info online about it, let me know if you find anything, I'll do likewise. I think you've talked me into another pair.

    Carhartt makes great (non-fancy, real actual) jeans in my experience.

    I was going to go parachute pants but decided against it. Can't remember how comfortable they were, I was ~10 years old when they were cool.

    My wife and I picked some up for my brother-in-law once from TSC. He swears by them but I know they're heavy. When it cools off I might try a pair.

    Exactly. I don't wear them (or any jeans, unless I have to) in the summer. I wear shorts and just say **** the thorns and bugs, because it's better than sweating through jeans and getting crotchrot.

    They're impossible to wear out, but it takes many uses and washes to wear them thin.
