Love the bike, but then, I’m from London. We get off on that kind of thing. How do you lock it up? I find carrying a lock a real drag, and putting one on the frame spoils the lines.

I lived with Jeff for a year and Seth for three… I know for a fact the underwear statement is false.

I'm not saying you can't find jeans that won't last you a long time. When I was buying denim I wasn't just looking for just any old pair of jeans. I wanted selvedge, which granted, can be found for cheaper. But I was more concerned with supporting a local Kansas City company in Baldwin and investing in jeans that were cut and sewn in the US. Trying not to outsource your money in the states means you're going to pay more. And since I wear denim nearly everyday, why not invest?

Glen, ours don't start to smell because we still wear underwear. I know you phased out of that whole trend, but it does keep your pants smelling nicer! :]

I got some jeans from Ross that have lasted me almost six years.

I also bought some Levi's last year that are running like a champ.

Both together cost me less than $70.

No way would I ever consider paying anywhere close to that much for a pair of jeans. To each his own though. They look nice, but one think I don't really understand is how you guys don't start to smell in them, my pants start to smell pretty bad after about two weeks.

Also, I was in a part of London last week where I think you would fit in well with that bike.

LOVE that alley. Stumbled through it many a night in college, running back and forth between Sake (those martinis) and Tonic and Quinton’s. Great shots, great bike, great jeans, and great scene.

@Denver, thanks for the heads up my man. I’ll definitely be dropping by Halls tomorrow!

Off the subject, but I hope you guys checked out halls this week. They are moving the crown center halls and are clearing a lot of stuff out. They have an extra 25% off sale stuff through tomorrow, I picked up a Barbour Liddlesdale for $60, a gant by Michael Bastian flannel shirt for $22, and several polo items for over 75% off.

That is a really cool/hipster bike, I think I want one… And I love the blog by the way.

Yes, we do thrift and look for deals a large portion of the time, but we also recognize that there’s no thrift store substitution for premium, US produced, quality denim. As a blog we endorse both, thrifting, yes, but also understanding that quality and ethically produced products, like a pair Baldwin Denim, come with a price – and that’s one we’re very willing to pay. Thanks for the comment!

I thought you all were ‘thrifty’ guys — $200 jeans? Dayum!
