One pair is faded and has been my favorite pair of jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802929 Fri, 28 Apr 2017 02:21:01 +0000 cindysmith 1802929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gear. Hiking pants or something. The fabric is supposed to be sort of indestructible. Try Goodwill to see if you even like them before you spend gear money on them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802820 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 20:03:47 +0000 em 1802820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've all given me lots to think about. The reason I have always worn jeans is because of barberry bushes and tiny rocks, along with needle-type bushes. I get pretty torn up.</p> <p>I don't wear shorts, either. I like my legs covered. Agree about the heat, though....which is why, in the summer, I do my landscaping in the very early morning. My patio garden is so much easier! I've been known to wander out in a silky nightgown to pick strawberries. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802795 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 17:57:10 +0000 Elizabeth P 1802795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't imagine gardening in jeans!&nbsp; I like roomy, or at least stretchy.&nbsp; But generally if it's gardening season, it's also shorts season.</p> <p>But if I want legs, I'd go gear.&nbsp; Tough, woven, quick dry fabric.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802789 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 17:30:14 +0000 LaPed 1802789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote thrift store. Not just because it's cheap, but because whatever you find is likely to be broken in already, and more comfortable than a new pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802777 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 17:03:57 +0000 D'Ellen 1802777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about Nordstrom's "fade mud" jeans - pre-dirtied, but at $425 not inexpensive.&nbsp; Just kidding!</p> <p>I wear a pair of old loose-fitting khaki pants for gardening. (Cooler and more comfortable than jeans IMO.)&nbsp; My local Goodwill has a huge selection of such pants.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802776 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 16:57:40 +0000 Anonymous 1802776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodwill and/or Old Navy. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802773 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 16:52:27 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1802773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thrift stores were my choice, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802772 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 16:49:53 +0000 Suz 1802772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three suggestions:&nbsp;</p> <p>1. Try a different fabric for your gardening pants. Maybe some technical (gear) fabric or khaki.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. Buy a pair of Old Navy jeans.</p> <p>3. Go to Goodwill or similar and try a bunch of used ones on.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802762 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 16:21:20 +0000 rachylou 1802762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a person who hates denim and doesn't wear it, what I do have comes from Target. I also second the idea of another type of pants. All the nursery workers where I live wear khakis or camping pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802740 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 15:19:24 +0000 K.M. 1802740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the Old Navy suggestion. Their jeans are surprisingly good--last well through many washes, fit well, are comfortable etc. And they have so many options. A little stretch in the fabric would help with the feel against your skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802737 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 15:14:37 +0000 JuniperGreen 1802737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seconding Goodwill! Particularly if you don't like the feel of denim against your skin, because this way you can find pairs that have already been softened and broken in.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802731 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 14:59:09 +0000 Anonymous 1802731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go to Goodwill.&nbsp; You will be amazed at the quantity, selection, and price.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802730 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 14:56:16 +0000 Rambling Ann 1802730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Find something you like better than jeans to wear for yard work. Maybe thrifting to try a few options. If you got 10 years out of the last pair, a less durable fabric should still last quite a while. I suggest shopping the outdoor stores (Cabelas, REI) etc to see what else is out there.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802729 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 14:48:56 +0000 danskogirl 1802729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would buy a pair of inexpensive jeans at Old Navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-religious-pair-of-jeans#post-1802727 Thu, 27 Apr 2017 14:44:14 +0000 em 1802727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I don't like jeans. I feel denim is too rough against my skin. I have one pair of jeans that must be over 10 years old by now. Three or four years into them, they got a hole in the knee, so I patched them and only wore them for gardening.</p> <p>The ripped knee worsened beyond repair, and now they have to be the holiest jeans in the world. I still wear them for yardwork, but because of the holes, they are too fragile to be washed. I don't think they have been washed for 5 years.</p> <p>I have decided I want a pair of jeans that can be thrown in the washer. But I would still only wear them for yardwork...which is maybe 2-3 hours a week 4-5 months of the year.</p> <p>I feel weird buying something that will immediately be dirtied and perhaps even torn. I am not sure what kind of jeans to buy (inexpensive, certainly) or how to approach this conundrum.</p> <p>What would you do? </p>
