wykikitoon 20139 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Hi A mate of mine has gone to Disney world with his kids, his bird is an absolute toss pot and she knows eevryone and everything. He has only taken 3 pairs of shorts and 3 T-Shirts as she says that the clothes over ther are dirt cheap. Is this true? Are Levis like £15 as she recons? I can get a pair of 501's in Leeds for £45. Surley they wont drop em that much, all the tourists = £$£$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar 0 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) I seem to remember people saying stuff like that when I was at school. Jean, trainers and computer gams were all supposed to be really cheap in America (by our terms anyway). Although it might have just been urban legend, spurred by kids wanting their holiday to be cooler than everyone elses. Looking at sites linked to on the levis official site as authorised retailers, they look pretty dear to me. probably still cheaper than here, once you convert it to ££s. http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shopping/pr...iProductID=4287 But then on ebay US they're dirt cheap. If they're real. Edited August 5, 2005 by BlueStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Do people still wear 501s? 7721[/snapback] Good point! Though Gemmill clearly does apparently, so we shouldnt laugh. Also kudos to wykikitoon for one of the best lines I've ever read about a mates girlfriend. I have absolutely no idea what she's like-she might actually be a really nice person for all I know, but instantly she was 'an absolute toss pott!' Quality!

manc-mag 1 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Also wykikitoon, you seem to have this mate's interests very close at heart (particulalrly as regards his trousers) while at the same time having very strong anti-his-girlfriend views. Are you completely sure he's just a 'mate' or would you like it to be more than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21623 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Is it just me or are 501s really, really tight around the crotch? Is that why cowboys walk like that? As for the price, they are only slightly cheaper from my experience. Do what I do, wait for a sale here and stock up, cheapskate that I am.

MrBass 2651 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I vaguelly remember, from the good old days when I could actually afford to go to Disney World, that brand named jeans and tops are only slightly cheaper (depending on how well the pound is doing against the dollar obviously). Trainers however and pretty cheap if you go to one of the outlet stores. Reebok were usually doing a silly deal where you buy one pair (which in itself is cheaper than over here) and you get another pair half price. Bargain!

Renton 21623 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 And on a related point to one I made earlier about 501s, where do people find there jeans wear out first? Mine always develop a hole around the crotch area, which necessitates an early throw out. And it's not lighting farts that does it either as I stopped doing that a long time ago.

Rob W 0 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 its almost always $ for £ and has been for over 30 years (and you wonder why British retailers make 10% rate of return whereas every well in the States & Europe its 3-5%..........) The only thing to watch is stereo gear - its wise to compare item by item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20139 Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 Hehe Class comments guys. Aye he is a close friend, but we dont see him much as the munter wont let him out. Apperntly she tossed off that guy from Boys own, the main one. Cant remember his name like. Anyway, good point looking at the Levi webby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag 0 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Buy clothes at either Costco (there is one in Gateshead BTW) or an outlet and you can usually pick any Levis for under $25. I would never pay $45 for Levis ... though you can if you go to an expensive shop. Levis have lost a great deal of their street cred in the last 15 years or so. Here in Southern California its all about Lucky and Diesel jeans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
