Manly Clothing for Manly Men
Written by admin, Thursday, March 1st, 2012 in Fashion, Featured, The Style Guide
Suits and dress shirts are nice, but they aren’t made for war. So what kind of clothing survives abuse, adventure, and adversity? Here are ten different clothing items — many of which we’ve discussed on this site before — that will outlast you, your children, and even your grandchildren.Levis 501xx Shrink to Fit Jeans
If you live in the United States, Levis are cheap, and they are durable. The 501xx "shrink to fit" series is the closest to raw Levis denim that can be gotten cheaply, and they are phenomenal jeans -- not only do they hold up very well, but they shrink to fit the wearer, ultimately personalizing the fit in a way that even expensive brands cannot do. While the 501xx series is not nearly as heavy as some other brands (especially Japanese denim, which can be so heavy and stiff that it can stand up by itself), the relative cheapness of the 501xx series cannot be beaten. For those of you outside the US, look for similar brands -- the simpler and sturdier the better.

Quite silly posting a trench coat worth 2,500$ when this site is aimed for 20-something men, most of which don’t have bottomless bank accounts.
Did you not say in your Levis Denim Guide, to NOT wear 501s?
501XX != 501. Shrink to fits, as the name implies, shrink to fit your legs and thus have a slimmer, tailored look. 501s aren’t really good for most people, save perhaps for the rare person who has the proportions that fit in them perfectly.
You may need to rethink that one. I think there are a lot more men of average build that can’t pull off the low cut skinny type jean especially if you have to do a little work.Too tight and big chance you’ll look like a plumber.
^A lot of ‘in the closet’ homosexuals here
