The Breakin' festival is coming thru Charlotte once again next year for the second time EVER with crews from all around the world and who knows...maybe I'll compete this time. Heh I've currently got a few vids floating around but only because my friends plead with me to let them get a video and my mantra is "don't capture the art, let the art create and be. Once you capture it, it's entertainment." I like to dance to make ppl happy, it thrills my heart when someone says "how'd you DO that" and their eyes get wide with amazement. My usual response is "I didn't do anything! That was created millions of years ago and God just happened to send it to me at that moment..." It's divine ART!
*Back on topic* glad to see most of the men here care about their appearances and the type of jeans they wear because people DO notice!
My go to brands for everyday wear are Lucky Brand Dungarees. I'm a 32 waist size with a confortable 34 inseam and no matter which style they always offer the optimal fit and durability. Inalso discovered Levi's 514's which offer a modern fit without being "skinny jean" type of nut crunching action.
My premium brand jeans that fit the best are Dolce and Gabbana, Armani, and Nautica. They're expensive but many of them I've had for YEARS and they still look and fit like brand new. I'd rather buy right once than to have to do it several times wasting money on an inferior brand product.
The biggest mistake most ppl make in denim care is washing them. That ruins them!! I've washed my D&G's maybe once in 5 yrs! You don't throw jeans in that mean old EVIL washer, you spot clean them and move on!!! STOP WASHING YOUR JEANS fellas! But don't take my word for it...

Glad to see there are some B-Boys still out there. A close of friend of mine that I used to go to warehouse parties with back in the day would always end up in a battle circle. Tall, skinny and one of the nicest guys you would ever meet until he got challenged. Homeboy can dance his ass off!
As for jeans and washing, I wear jeans to work M-F and work in a vinegar bottling facility. My jeans get washed weekly. With that being said, I prefer old and faded look versus the raw look. Don't get me wrong I like and can appreciate the look of raw but I'm a grey t-shirt when it comes to personality and style...lose, comfortable yet classy and tinge of danger.
I've never owned any D&G jeans. I'll have to check some out.
