All of these have 3 stripes too few 

I saw a man wearing Adidas jeans the other day. He wasn't doing any type of exercise. I didn't even realise Adidas made jeans until then, just wrong....

Fuck adidas and fuck five ten

I'm still gutted I ripped my MEC pair to bits on a barbed wire fence Best pair I've ever had.

What were the MEC ones? Heading to Vancouver on Sunday for 10 days so could drop in as I'm in need of a spare pair of trousers too

sponsorship deal fallen through?

[Jaspersharpe]

It's not that, it's just shark's always favoured the Nike look....

[Fiend]

Jasper how baggy were they? Might have to keep an eye out...

[Jaspersharpe]

Not baggy at all. Looked like golfing trousers but were black denim.

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

Simond climbing jeans from decathlon. Best thirty quid you'll ever spend, especially if you got them for twenty quid like I did.

They look better on me than in those photos.

What Dave said  including the discount 
Great bits of kit even if the waist band resembles Mrs Obi's maternity jeans.

Do small really fit you Dave ? 


They're quite long in the leg - I have to roll mine up

Sorry that was my phone correcting "anall" to "small". Didn't realise I had yorkshire dictionary disabled.

Like moose I'm not convinced by climbing jeans (weight, feel etc..)
Decathlog have none in stock (I went and looked anyway at Logport) so time for plan Z.

I am very pleased no-one has posted a picture of MC Hammer yet...

Not a clue! No label in them with a name, and nothing looks like it on their website. I bought them in 2009, so might be discontinued. I can take some pics, and you can see if anything there looks like them if that's possible?

Never has Nikes 'just do it' slogan seemed more inappropriate :/

[tomtom]

I personally can't stand wearing jeans when climbing, so if you are in the same boat and want something that will last I recommend Blurr stuff, I got some Rogue and Orion pants. They all come in nice khaki colours...... (I have eventually come through the other side and now also don't feel the need to wear Hi Viz clothing at the crag)

Rogue are light weight and really comfy, they have a cord at the bottom to take them in.
Orion are more tough and heavier weight nice material and got a lil bit of stretch in them. I get away with wearing them to work as well so look kind of smartish!

I recon the sizing is bob on as well, so a 30inch waist is a 30 inch waist 

The Blurr stuff indeed looks good. Works and Bannanfingers stock them... Do they all have an internal drawstring for the waist - I find 32's too small and 34's too large waist wise normally...

Correcting anall could have been a lot worse I suppose

I normally wear gangsta-style baggy jeans in the winter, but come spring I switch into these:-

Don't know how easy they are to find. Not too difficult I hope, mine are just about ruined and I need a new pair soon. I got 2 years out of this pair with some minor repairs.

That's the first pair of climbing trousers I've ever seen that actually look quite cool.

Wait, aren't you a 40-something accountant? How definitive is your idea of "cool" likely to be?

My orange Scarpa mountain boots otoh are style-approved by my mate's teenage daughter, whose opinion in matters of "cool" carries rather more weight.

By that definition TT as Uni lecturer should be buying a pair of climbing pants with leather elbow patches.

That could work...

Cheers for the offer, I think I just go and have a toot around the store anyway though, always like an excuse to spend a few dollars over there

I'm 39 and I actually do trust my sartorial judgement. Most teenagers appear to be dressing just like teenagers did in the 80s anyway, so what the hell do they know that's new?

The accountant bit is irrelevant too (although I get the joke) as it just means I have enough money to buy decent clothes these days. I find most outdoor manufacturers stuff really generic and boring and I have no idea why anyone would want to plaster themselves in DMM/E9/Moon/TNF etc logos unless they're at least getting the stuff for free. And don't get me started on the state of most blokes shoes ffs.......

I've relegated one of my favourite Ltd edition t-shirts and a Ted Baker hoodie to climbing wear because they match each other and my Dragons. People may still think I look like a cunt, but least I'm making a bloody effort not to.

Where's that picture of Sloper in shorts/brogues? Actually no....

[webbo]

Tom, I think the answer would be to transfer to the Social work/ Humanities dept then you get yourself a pair of dungeries.

[tomtom]

That was then Webbo - now is black drainpipe jeans, DM shoes, black polo shirt and trendy glasses.. not a bad look, but not a practical one for an afternoons scrittle thrutching...

[webbo]

You could try TKMax they have racks of jeans or Oxfam for a pair of baggy suit trousers. Do you want cheap, functional or to look the business. I'm sure my years of pursuing my other hobby of shopping for clothes I could point you in the wrong direction.

You do realise that that's what you're going to look like when you're older.
