One of them was wearing new blue denim jeans and, sure enough, some of the blue rubbed off on the wall. <br />Although at the moment I'm wearing tan (or khaki) jeans that I bought in a Duluth Trading Company store (not to be confused with the Duluth Pack store but I've been there, too), I prefer full-cut logger-style jeans, which some call dungarees, still available unwashed "rigid."

I wore them with decreasing frequency into my 40's. I keep a cheap pair of inexpensive wranglers around for fall and winter yardwork and a nice pair of dark Levis because invariably I will be invited to one or two charity functions a year with a western theme. As I have grown older, I've switched mainly to khaki's. I think they make a better presentation for more mature men. (I recently turned 60) With the summers growing increasingly hot, khakis are much more comfortable.John Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311285732830011277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-25112479913861541012022-06-16T18:09:43.641-04:002022-06-16T18:09:43.641-04:00Greasy, meaty, tangy, salty bit of heaven-

My favorite is with a tall boot and good blazer in the fall/winter and rolled up with a pair of Jacks in the summer! Jeans were my father's go-to and he called them, "dungarees."

I find them very functional and tend to wear them when playing the "flâneuse" in my neighbourhood (denim trousers, Breton shirt, and a "vareuse"). I like khakis, too, but they're less readily available where I am in Europe than jeans are. And let's please not weaponise either one into left or right-wing symbols. They're just clothes, for crying out loud!
