[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 3921551, member: 27098"] Times have changed. I remember in the 80's going to the mall, women were dressed very nicely. Going on a flight? Wear a sportcoat a button down shirt and khaki's, at a minimum. Your pockets held cigarettes, lighter, ticket, wallet, and moneyclip with a small lknife and fingernail file and cash. Even economy had enough room so the kid sitting behind you couldn't kick the back of your seat. Now, much different. How much have things changed? On Sunday my wife and I went to Sprouts and a woman was wearing a bathrobe and pj's. Same can be seen at the mall. Flights, barely have enough room to breath, dogs in a crate have more space. Levi's at one time were my go to brand, but now one is lucky to get 6 months out of a pair. Switched to Wrangler, their more expensive jeans seem to hold up better, but not quite as well as older jeans I have switched to Eddie Bauer jeans, they seem to last better than the aforementioned brands. Only issues I have had is the cuffs on the legs wear out a bit, but not much. I also hang my jeans up, they seem to do better than folded. [/QUOTE]
