You should really try expensive/good Chinese Food. You'll have a hard time going back to Kung Pao Chicken at the mall.

Re: raw denim
I don't get why anyone cares what I spend my money on.

I have tried both--expensive/mall--and generally eat at neither. Good is harder to find but worth it, and in my experience, not expensive.

OMG I just found another 20-40 year old male (assuming) who doesn't like Chipotle. This is a big day.

My coworkers got in a big discussion the other day over how disgusting it is that one of them wear the same pants all week w/o a wash. I didn't have the heart to say 2 weeks is my standard.
Also they all, to a man, worship Chipotle like it was a religion.

Re: raw denim
With all the talk of must have jeans, how can you leave out these.

Re: raw denim
What's funny is the guys who actually get someone else to take a picture of them, on a semi-daily basis, for this thread.
Wouldn't the average significant other or roommate start to worry a little?

It goes around and around. First, there was whole grain bread, which was healthy and good. Then someone made refined, clean white bread, which cost a little more to process so it was a little more expensive. Then there was a switch back to whole grain breads, which cost more - this time because they're healthier.
However, in fairness, there are 2 things going on here, and they're only related arbitrarily.
- denim made on vintage looms
- denim that's unprocessed
Technically it's the first that drives up the price. There's no real reason to drive up the price for the retro unprocessed look (other than the bread phenomenon mentioned above.)

several companies make washed and raw denim, and charge MORE for the washed denim.
