To you Southern Gentlemen I have a question on proper dress. I have three new pair of Texas Jeans. While ironing a shirt this morning was struck with a thought. I know I can wear Wranglers without ironing them but is it a sin to wear Texas brand jeans without pressing them first?

What's ironing?

Don't iron jeans... Only dress shirts and boxer shorts.

Only if your wearing your BarBQue gun.

Never heard of Texas brand jeans. I wear Levis. Never ironed a pair of jeans in my life.

Those would get giggled at south of the Red River by anyone who's ever been on a horse.

Texans iron their jeans while wearing them...........give it a try.

Quit wearing Levis years ago when their political contributions were disclosed as anti-gun, pro-gay, socialist support.

Tough to believe most here would financially support the destruction of their freedoms.

You're lucky you can wear Wranglers, I have to wear levis from san-fran.

I don't know. I wear original shrink to fit 501's.
One pairs been washed once, the other, never.

We don't iron jeans down this way.....just sayin.

No man irons jeans. Occasionally they have attentive wives who insist on doing it, and the man humors her.

Wormy, Why wear nasty jeans? If they wash and shrink, they will no longer fit?

Are you George Strait? If not, leave the ironing for your shirts

You don't wash them...
Why would they get nasty?
They wear like dress pants. Hung up when not being worn and hung outside one a month or so.


Jeans have been around a long time. Longer than this trend of washing everything worn once.
I don't chit my pants or drop food on my lap and I shower so why would a pair of slacks get nasty.
These are not work pants. Those are my dungarees that remain in the mud room with my boots, hung on a hook.

He's right about disgusting. Can you imagine 4 month old cow s!it? But I suppose if you're never around anything more disgusting than a corner office cubicle that might work.

Sound totally "All Hot No Cattle".

We southern men don't spend much time playing in cow chit...but obviously the only jobs that you think exist are cowboy and office clerk.
What are you? Fkin retarded? The OPsay he was ironing a shirt...you think he's talking about jeans he plans on cattle punching in?
Is there a way to unfk yourself long enough to pa6 attention to the thread?
Plus...I don't work in jeans, so...

yadda yadda yadda. My jeans are probably older than most of the members here.
Happy to see you are so politically pure, and so zealous about protecting our freedoms.

Thank goodness. I don't have to iron Texas Jeans.


Sam and the Levi crowd. I loved my 501s until the day I checked their web page. They wanted me to sign a petition to own all firearm ownership in America to save the children. Then the wanted me to support a music group that was 90% cop killer noise without a note of music.

I have never permitted a Levi anything in my home since.

Look at TEXAS JEANS and you will find a wide selection of jeans made in the USA form US made materials and at $20.00 a pair the price is way better the Levi foreign made crap that supports thing I do not.


Fresh ironed shirt tucked in to boot cut Texas Jeans, 1911 IWB carried on my hip, two spare mags hidden away on my left side, Filson belt holding everything in the right place, gig line straight, Tony Llama boots, Filson vest, and a hat to keep the rain of my freshly shaved head. I am ready to take a lady to town.

Ring?WTF? Be nice.

I don't reckon I've ever uttered the word "jeans" in my life.

I used to wear Levis, 'til the management turned queer, then I switched to Wranglers.

Both of them are referred to as "britches".

And I keep a couple pair of new britches in the closet for town wear... medium starched and ironed from the laundry/dry cleaners in the County Seat.

Who sells "Texas Jeans"? Never heard of 'em.

Don't recall ever wearing ironed traditional jeans myself, regardless the brand.

I have worn ironed denim pants cut like dress slacks.

The few males I've known who made it a practice to always wear ironed jeans couldn't seem to pass by a mirror or for that matter any reflective surface without checking themselves out.

LOL..!! You're so cute when you're being authoritatively angry.

Heat and chemicals are what's used to break down denim. Why would someone intentionally reduce the life of thier jeans?
It's like wash8ng your truck with sandpaper.

I would have a hard time wearing anything with a set of horns stitched on 'em. Gig'em Ags.

There are still some places where if you showed up with your britches legs rolled up, you'd get throwed in the water trough. That would help 'em shrink up.

True dat. Could ringworm possibly be the other end of the Alaskan internet mogul?

If you think you may need to iron your jeans, those jeans aren't tight enough!

Jim

in the early days, when I was a teen, a lot of us thought we weren't properly attired unless our jeans had sharp creases in them. it was part of the countryboy look.

but we outgrowed that fad quick enough.

stonewashed jeans for a premium, now there's a product to buy stock in. like distressed wood for furntiture, it should cost more, because it cost more to produce.

khaki for this Southern Gentlemen, with Danners, please.

Back in the Old West as in the 19th century old west, no self respecting cowboy would be caught dead with creases in his jeans - it was the mark of a dude. Apparently their Levis came creased from the factory so the first thing they did was wash or soak them to get that crease out. Up through the 40's and 50's it was normal to cuff the jeans, both for cowboys, greasers and motorcycle gang members. I think cuffed jeans legs only went out with bell bottoms in the 60's.

I guess like hat styles, jean couture is a regional thing.

I try and stay away from places where grown men judge each other by thier pants cuffs...seems a bit pubecent if you ask me...tough guys,huh.
Eyefkin other men's wardrobe? How macho.

Now you're becoming seriously funny. LMAO.!!

That was my first thought.

Grease, the movie does come to mind, now that you mention it.

Harleys, Indians, and tough guys in cuffed jeans. I don't see a problem.

i work with a bunch of 20-ish nerds. you should see how they wear their jeans. skin tight and about half way up their calf. i schit you not, capri pants. with my carharts and dickies and wellington boots, i stick out like a sore thumb.

something just not quite right about that!

Keeps what's in there presentable... Not wrnkled either. 😜

Are you ready for this? Texas jeans are made and sold by...








The Texas Jean Co.

I posted a link above.

Yea, The Texas Jean company of North Carolina.

what is this iron thing you speak of? I thought it was what a buddy uses for golf.

In fairness though our fire chief is a picky SOB, and my bdu bottoms go to the cleaners to get starched.... WTF we have to be dress up at times is beyond me, we are volunteer...

OK, there is the link again. TEXAS JEANS

Yep, started in Texas thenn moved to a bigger place in sc. Still good jeans at a great price.

Made in N.C.

They claim all the components for the britches are purchased from VENDORS IN THE USA.

I wear Lee Jeans-- do not need ironing---

OK, my mistake but at least something is done to them by an American.

My wife puts them on pant stretchers.

Do they still make those things? I haven't seen any in 40 years.

I haven't either. In fact, had completely forgot about those pants stretchers.

BTW boys and girls, originally, Wranglers were called "Blue Bell Wranglers."

L.W.

Kirkland jeans for winter wear and Wrangler jeans with Cordura fronts for rabbit hunting works for me. The last Kirklands' I bought were a lighter weight denim than earlier ones so I'm questioning that.

I guess I never really considered that you COULD iron jeans. Can't see why you wouldn't though, if you wanted them to look kinda dressed up.
I found pants at Costco, kinda like cargo pants, you can get them in insulated versions too. About $20 a pair(so probably half that in your country) and they really comfortable. I haven't worn jeans since.

I quit wearing them years ago when they stopped making them in the good old USA.

Geno

What's an iron and why would anyone want to wear underwear that had been pressed?

Only ironing done around here is steaming dents on walnut stocks.
Iron jeans? WTF for?

For the education of all you Yankees there are parts of the South where pressed jeans are considered show a show of being a gentleman. Parts of Texas and Lausiana. The post was in jest. My time in the Navy as a LPO stuck with me and I do like a dream ironed shirt. Ironed pants no longer count.

A visit to the Houston Rodea and Livestock Show and one will see loads of ironed jeans. Always thought it kind of silly.

Finley someone knows what I am talking about.
Yes, it does seem silly to some of us, maybe most of us but what fashion isn't silly in some ways. The three piece Wall Street look is a lot sillier in my book. I have not pressed pants of any kind since I took off the Navy uniform.

Pressing the jeans was an attempt to raise them out of the lower class. My first duty station in the AF forbade the wearing of jeans on base.

Didn't know they made jeans other than Levi's or Wrangler.

Go to any Miami shindig and you'll see plenty of starched, ironed jeans and a lotta pointy ass shoes.. But they ain't boots.

as far as ironing, thats wimmens work.

Jeans were made for an azz like Debra Winger's in "Urban Cowboy" in the late 70s. Who gives a chit what guys do with their's? Unforgettable.

Weird thread.

why would they get nasty? cause your skin constantly puts off oils and sloughs dead skin not to mention everything else in the environment.....granted i dont wash my work pants after a single day of wearing unless something gets on them like black mud, i usually wear one pair a week washed on the weekends. but saying heat chemicals are what deteriorates denim is a no chit statement, so does the UV from you hanging them outside every month, its the same for any fabric. if you can get away with not washing denim for over a year without it getting nasty you must never sweat or not wear them all the time.

only thing unique about denim is the weave and dying process that doesnt dye the whole thread just the outside, there is nothing inherent in it to keep it cleaner than any other cotton garment. it still picks up dirt and skin oils like a cotton t-shirt and doubt your claiming not to wash your shirts regularly, the difference is it doesnt show as bad with dark denim but it is still there...only thing not washing does is slow the fading which i find odd cause part of the "neat thing' about jeans is how they fade due to the dying process.......

Not ironed Scott, but my dress wranglers are starched and pressed at the dry cleaners.

My dress Carhartts are not starched, pressed, not ironed.

Quit wearing Levis years ago...cheap ass foreign made junk with only five belt loops...I now get Schaefer jeans made in Texas where they know how to make jeans right and put seven belt loops on. I'll let the homos in San Francisco keep all their imported jeans.

Y'all have brought the fire to a strange and unexpected place.

I could care less what a man wears. WTF?

Now let's examine jeans that really matter...do women look better with hip hugger jeans or a little higher on the waist? Body paint?

I have big balls. Iff'n you've got big balls, you need a gusset to give the boys some room.

If you are gay, I suggest you iron them; If not, wear them as they come from the dryer.

"The Warden" keeps 1 pair of Wranglers (fairly new) pressed and hidden - to wear to "formal" occasions.
I'll go through about 5 pair a year, regularly washed, as I get them nasty enough she pre-treats before laundering.
I don't believe I'm a "pig", just very active.

Summertime here, you need a clean pair every day, if you are working. Shirt and jeans will be sweat soaked. miles

I wasn't dissing Texas Jeans. I've just never heard of them before. Levis are one of the most counterfeited products in the world, so it's not unusual to get bad ones. The copies are shipped into the country from places like Pakistan and Mexico, then networks of runners "return" them to retail stores in exchange for a different size of the real thing. The originals are then exported to foreign markets, where they get big bucks for them.

I never thought I'd see the day when we're discussing fashion.

My wife usually does my laundry and folds them and puts them in a stack in the closet. If I do my laundry, they end up in a pile on the floor until I get around to putting them away. If they're too wrinkled, I throw'em in the dryer for 10 minutes. I'm not allowed to touch her cloths.

I keep some newer ones for goin out in, and the worn out ones for work. My schitt's dirty 5 minutes after I get here.

I'm a slave to fashion.

I can't even begin to think about wearing jeans again. It has to be tickling the 40's before I'll put a pair on.
