Participant[quote=scaredyclassic]I’ve been wearing the same pair of pants since December. Every day except for about 5 days. Orslow slim fit fatigues from Japan. $200. Cost per wear currently around $1.50. I love these pants. Wash them only when they stink. 10 days?[/quote]
a few things about nylon clothing I don’t like, first off it does not ‘breath” like cotton AND second off durning hot dry days it builds up static charge

I prefer extremely expensive Japanese reproductions of vintage American work wear. The more expensive and absurd, the better.

Here ya go ..$240 a pair now! And the slim fit version is now sold out on this website!
They’re actually worth it, I think. Sure, I’m cheap, but I’ll pay for perfect and highly ironic pants. Cost per wear these are cheaper than a lot of cheap clothes I’ve bought …
Patagonia pants are made in sri Lanka, sorry, only Japanese tailoring for vintage work wear for me.if I were inclined to go hemp I’d only buy from http://www.jungmaven.com. Hippie vibe, made in USA, stupid expensive
Have u seen OLD ENOUGH on Netflix? Japanese kids running errands. Amazing show.

$240 bucks for slim fit work pants,… sigh can’t quite make that work out in my mind (even though I could easily afford it)
I’m happy w/ Patagonia fair trade hemp clothing,… decades ago found my self in Uzbekistan and saw first hand the wacked idea of a USSR command economy WRT growing cotton and uses forced labor to pick it
long story short short the Soviets diverted two rivers in Central Asia in order to irrigate cotton fields (and in the process created an environmental disaster of biblical proportions,… essentially destroying a large inland sea)
basically looking at the numbers, cotton takes lots more inputs than hemp (to grow) so this is why I’m a big fan of hemp clothing and bed sheets,… granted hemp isn’t as soft or inexpensive as cotton BUT at the end of the day I see environmental ‘efficiency’ advantages
another thing WRT to nylon clothing, that I’m uncomfortable w/ is the issue of ‘microfibers’
WRT Patagonia using labor as you mentioned from sri Lanka, I actually see that as a positive thing because it brings in ‘fair trade’ dollars into their economy which is better than the ‘fast fashion’ alternative
huh,… did nor know about ‘old enough’ just checked it out and will have to power though that Netflix documentary series
FYI by power though I mean watch using chrome browser w/ the ‘speedup’ plugin

Each OLD ENOUGH episode is only 15 mins or so. You’ll know if you love it right away. It’s called MY FIRST ERRAND in Japan.
I just today ordered another pair for 160 with shipping direct from Japan. I agree , 240 sounds high. But these are superior pants. My wife is a little irritated that I refuse to change my pants
May 2, 2022 at 6:43 PM #825351ParticipantWatching the aral sea video now. Fascinating!!!
I am reading SECONDHAND TIME, novel prize winning book consisting of interviews w people describing life in Russia from 1991 on, fall of communism. Learnt of book here: https://thecurmudgeonsattic.wordpress.com/2022/04/12/book-review-secondhand-time-by-svetlana-alexievich-2013-english-translation-2016/
Obscure blog I follow…
Got Russia on the brain….I guess my main objection to Patagonia products is they are completely unironic. I was in boulder recently and every single human was wearing Patagonia. Made me hate Patagonia.
I love the idea of wearing clothing until it disintegrates, with full love for each garment whatever that garment is for anyone

yeah I get it,… when everyone is doing the same thing,… it is ‘might’ be useful to get look at things from another POV (actually this is my approach to investing)
sigh,… WRT Patagonia clothing,… pretty much the only stuff I’ve purchased from them is mostly articles of hemp clothing,… basically buy it because it’s a known quantity
since this thread is about nylon clothing,… basically for the longest time wore pretty much only Levi 501 jeans BUT when I was really into backpacking/back country skiing especially in the sierras during winter,… wet cotton sucks!
so when backpacking/back country skiing really appreciate the ruggedness of nylon hiking gear BUT what I don’t like is wearing nylon durning summer (it just does not breath),… and when condition are arid and hot,… hated also getting shocked (due to static buildup when nylon rubs together)
anyway if you are into Russia, there is a book you might find interesting
as an undergrad at UCSD I doubled majored Physics and PoliSci AND basically took concentrated course work in Russian/Soviet politics,… and that is where I first heard of ‘Radishchev’

ParticipantDuring the winter, I go all cotton. Flannel pants or cotton sweats around the house, jeans or cotton cargo pants for out and about, cotton khakis for biz casual.
I love cotton but for shorts they can be bulky and not stretchy/flexible.
So, in the warmer months, I go with nylon running shorts and cotton t-shirts for daily wear when not in an office – which is 100% of the time now. Maybe cotton or flannel shorts at home at night.
Too much nylon in socks smell bad quickly. Too much cotton in socks makes them not flexible. Somewhere in there is the right mix. I know it when I see it.
And yes, I’d have bet the farm this was a scaredy post.
