I'm finding it hard to have these conversations and figure out what I really want. </p> <p>I agree with the others; once you've found *the* pair, he'll come around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-not-jean-and-leather-panels-jeans#post-1110556 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 05:10:39 +0000 CocoLion 1110556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those Atomic by Funktional pants are great. &nbsp;I'm not a leather pants person but I really like those, I like the way they're not all leather, just a bit. &nbsp;True you might tire of them in a year but if you wear them a lot in one year, you've gotten your money's worth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-not-jean-and-leather-panels-jeans#post-1110399 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 03:03:33 +0000 Gigi 1110399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you may be right that if you find the right pair and style it right, he might change his mind. For people who aren't fashion conscious, leather clothing can bring to mind all kinds of strange associations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-not-jean-and-leather-panels-jeans#post-1110183 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 00:19:23 +0000 Suz 1110183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My crystal ball tells me that when you find the right ones, he'll change his mind. They will look so fab on you that all his associations will vanish and he'll only see you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, we can live and dream, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-not-jean-and-leather-panels-jeans#post-1110130 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 23:46:06 +0000 Mo 1110130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your crystal ball! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-not-jean-and-leather-panels-jeans#post-1110125 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 23:42:11 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1110125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going out on a limb and predicting that he is buying them for you for Xmas.&nbsp; What a sweet and darling man you have Mo!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-not-jean-and-leather-panels-jeans#post-1110104 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 23:29:13 +0000 Mo 1110104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I returned my moto TR leather panel jeans yesterday. &nbsp;They were too big. &nbsp;But I mentioned these Atomic ones to the BF casually.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.five13studio.com/atomic-leather-panel-skinny-pant/">http://www.five13studio.com/at.....inny-pant/</a>&nbsp;He was an instant&nbsp;NO. &nbsp;I pressed a little for a why. &nbsp;He said they'd basically be trendy for a year and then I'd not want to wear them, in so many words. &nbsp;But, he's wrong. &nbsp;And I didn't want to get into it ATM. &nbsp;He has a definite dislike of full leather pants, as I've mentioned before, with the Daytona Bike week associations and all. &nbsp;I like them, if done right, which is tricky. &nbsp;Hence, my desire for a touch of leather in a jean. &nbsp;Suffice to say I didn't trot out the TR's for him because they were going back. &nbsp;I just mentioned that "we saved $170 just now." &nbsp;<br />I guess at this point I won't bother about it unless/until I find 'the' pair. &nbsp;At which point, I will declare it merry Christmas to me, even if it's January lol. &nbsp;It feels weird, in that it might be most expensive item besides my Frye boots, and it might be one of his least liked at the same time. &nbsp;Hmm. &nbsp;Add to that, he's the one working right now, not that it matters, but in my head it kinda does. &nbsp;He's paying my credit card, even though it's all 'our' money in the end. &nbsp; </p>
