Doing Asian-Style jeans

[Byron]

When it comes to the brown "present" I see the model in the pic having high over-the-ankle white boots and that may have to be your choice also if the smaller waist size presents with less in leg length too, ie if that turns out to be the case a repeat wearing of loafers might not coordinate well.

I'm not sure I am that keen on the boots on the outside of jeans look. One of the photos of the brown jeans shows standard white canvas sneakers and that looks better to my eyes. I do have somw white wrestling boots I can try, tho the tops of those would fit inside the leg.

THis is an interesting study in what is considered stylish jeans for men living in varoius parts of the world. Here in the US, A& F are big at rolling up jeans at the cuff--look at the models on their Web site. That is definitely not the style in Asia, but the style seems to be to wear the jeans an inch or two longer and then just let them wrinkle at the cuff. You see that in many of the photos on the Web site.

There are some things so embedded in a national psyche as to what is appropriate that no amount of persuasion by any fashion "trend setters" will make the slightest difference.
You surprise me at turn-ups on jeans legs still being advertised however as that fashion was finished with when I was a kid. We used nevertheless to select our jeans with or without boot-cut , even if we had never been near a horse.

I would love to do a survey on US rodeo riders and find just one who might be prepared to wear pencil jeans and have them "wrinkly" at the leg bottoms.
MOST unlikely as this iconic apparel will belong always with the concept of hard work on the land and being in the saddle all day, herding cattle - it goes back to the ideals of the early days of the tough frontiersmen forging their way westwards from the eastern cities.

As to boots worn in the USA I have a question. They will often be to calf-height and with the most elaborate tooling on the leather - quite some works of art but never seen because the jeans are worn OVER and not INSIDE them - so why such decorative work on something always hidden?
It used to make me laugh to see George Dubbya walking across a manicured lawn as if out on the rough and dusty plains of Texas (with T. Blair in tow trying to look the part as well with thumbs in pockets)

The days of elaborate tooling on the shaft of the boot have largely passed in favor of more elaborate designs for the part of the foot tat can be seen with the jeans worn over the shaft. There are still Western traditionalists who wear the ones with the elaborate tooling, but generally these not younger people.

The brown pair of Asian-style jeans arrived just in time for Christmas, almost exactly in three weks as the ebay vendor indicated. I ordered these in waist size 30, and, expected, they are a touch shorter and just a bit tighter still. If you like snug-fitting jeans these are really really nice. Again, the cloth is a little lighter weight than is commonly found in jeans sold in the US. And the legs, of course are really narrow. The fabric has more stretch to it than we normally see in the jeans in with a touch of spandex. But that means the waist has a bit more give as well. Anyhow, I have no problem with the 30" waist fit even tucking a shirt inside.

I think these jeans fit and look wonderful. They are obviously not for a guy who lacks a trim body. The 30 inch waist works for me at 60 inches and 147 lbs. The color I picked is unlike anything I have seen in a store in the US. I wore these going to movies a couple of times, and despite the tight fit, they are very comfortable to wear. A Speedo under and you are all set. Highly recommended for a great look, fit and feel.

Which bit of you is 60 inches ?

[sebbie]

Ha Ha 60 inches from head to toe. Actually I am amazed at how well these fit,..just as if they were made for me! in the summer, an aqux or seobean brief would be nice under the jeans.
