Comment on The Blue Jeans Experiment… by Ron

I Just bought and used my first pair of Kirkland Jeans. Normally, I buy higher quality Wranglers. The material seems softer but thicker than Wranglers and are pretty comfortable. Since I’m older with a 35 inch waist, which is the largest part of my torso, I find the cut horrible for me. They seem to be built for a woman. The waist on the jeans is much smaller than the thighs and legs so they fit like a burlap bag tied around the waist. They would probably fit a shape of a woman about the size 46x36x46 quite well. First and last pair I will buy.

These Kirkland Jeans are simple lint, hair, dust, magnets and you cannot get it off no matter how much you wash them or sticky tape them, or fabric softener. They look terrible because of the crap they collect and only in a matter of minutes. These jeans have the weirdest material ever. I would never buy them again.

Comment on Bathroom Automation: Not Exactly a Good Time by dustbury.com » The unseen walk among us

[...] Meanwhile, Sean analyzes the problems with these systems: Bathroom automation was designed to protect, not serve. Since building owners can tune the water delivery system to dispense a specific amount of water each time the sensor is triggered… in a perfect world, the water delivery system could be tuned to the soap dispenser to allow for the ‘perfect’ wash/rinse distribution, but it rarely is. Most times I have to wave my hands in front of the sensor to get additional water, and ultimately water runs for some time after I’m finished washing. In an ideal world, the paper towel dispenser would know how much paper towel I needed (based on my hand size, or the moisture reading it took when it noticed my hands were there) but it doesn’t. So I end up taking two runs with the paper towel dispenser and causing more waste than if I had a manual option. The other drawback is the power source… these things don’t work without power, and that leaves me with a shirt as the alternative for drying my hands when the batteries are dead. [...]

I just love the Kirkland jeans, great for the price. No…it doesn’t bother me that some kid in the 3rd world makes only 2 cents a pair, cuz I know it keeps him off the streets, where he’d otherwise be making bombs. fuckin’ liberals, get a grip

Lucky Jeans are Made in America, not a third world country

I work outside and in the winter cut power line right-of-ways. Blue jean’s are not as durable. Its true they’re made overseas now. When
they were made in the Carolina’s they lasted much longer.

I also pickup a pair of Kirkland. Your blog came up when I did a search. “I was wondering who made them.” I know Rustler for example are made by Wrangler. I noticed they are $9.50 and the latter are $14.50 in the store. So far I like the Kirkland fit and fabric (appears heavier). The other jeans I’ve tried are Faded Glory. ($9.00)

Levi were assembled in Mexico of American fabric but not so on the last pair I looked at. The quality went down to Rustler level but at triple the price.

I’m thinking of buying some http://www.duluthtrading.com Firehouse jeans. They’re around $44 a pair, but if you work outdoors. The current jeans just don’t hold up.

I bought a pair of Kirkland jeans; I have worn Levi & Wrangler for the last 35 years. I have a small farm, and treat my jeans quite unkind at times. I’ve been wearing the Kirkland jeans for two weeks now of and on, washed probably 6 times and so far I love them fit and durability very comparable to what I’m used to at a fraction of the price. I’d say those ten year olds are some pretty fine craftsmen.

I disagree. I believe following a statement with “You Know?” is just a shortened version of “You Know what I’m saying?” which are both colloquialisms for “Do You Understand What I am Saying to You”, which gives the recipient plenty of reflection…

(Anyhow, you’re bound to strike oil, or something less messy – gold – someday soon. I like your theory.)

Wow, someone that you like better than yourself?

That’s a big statement… I hope you find them! I don’t if many people like anyone else better than themselves these days…
