A comfortable shirt and jeans

Someone told me the other day that as long as they had a comfortable pair of jeans and a t-shirt they would be content the rest of their lives.  Personally, I agree.  Let me paint you a picture.  You are sitting in your comfy chair, your dog laying on your feet keeping them nice and toasty, you have your comfy jeans on and your significant others t-shirt.  You settle back and watch Pride and Prejudice for possibly the hundredth time and you think to yourself, "dang, life is good."  I don't know if you feel the same way but this has been my "go to" outfit for some time.  I love fashion.  I love the new trends and anticipating what is going to be coming out on the next runway, but I still have my "go to".  What about you guys?  Do you have a "go to" outfit?

What kind of jeans do you have?

What kind of jeans do you have?  Personally, I go for comfort.  Of course, I don't want them to make my back side look bad, but first and foremost, they are comfortable.  I can sit in them for long periods of time and they don't get extra "knees" in them.  You know what I am talking about...the stretch of the material in the knees makes you look like you have two sets of knees when you stand up.  AGH...I hate that.  I also like my jeans to stretch just enough that sitting is good but not too much so that after about an hour, I am spending too much time pulling them back up so I don't have a plumbers back side or a diaper on.  Don't like that either.  It's funny that little things like pulling up your jeans or wiggling them back down to fit on your hips can make our break whether or not you wear a certain pair.  But those things are a big deal to me.  Jeans that you can wear more than one day are a plus too....I know it sounds a little gross...but if you can wear them for more than one day, less you have to pack.  And jeans that don't lose their shape, and make your shape still look rocking, well that is just a plus.  These are the thoughts behind our jeans.  Plain and simple, we hooked up with some super soft denim (comfort) that holds it shape and has durability and made a pair of jeans.  We are still in the process of making more styles and venturing into the top side of things, but for now, we are starting with a solid pair of indigo denim jeans that we think you will love.  Plus, we have adopted the Village of Z'Orange, Haiti and with the help of the Hope for Haiti Foundation, we are trying to make a big difference in the lives of the Haiti people whose lives were dramatically changed during the January earthquake.

Did we know that this was the direction our lives were going to take?  No, we would have laughed at you if you had said as much.  But after a mission trip to Haiti, there really was no question that this was what we were going to do and we were going to use whatever skill set we had to make it work. 

So, what kind of jeans do you have?  I have S2 jeans, they make my back side look good and they make my heart feel good.
