| No this ain't about shameless, guys if your loving old gal gets to bellyaching saying "You need some new jeans, the next Walmart we pass, your gonna get some"!! Guys if you head in to the men's jean section and see some decent looking black jeans, be sure and check the length of the darn zipper. The 1 pair I bought, the darn zipper is almost 2" shorter than my old jeans. Guys it wasn't pleasant. I don't remember the brand, no they aren't female jeans, I thought about that. Buts ya just about gotta drop them to drain the old rad. Unisex maybe??? |

| Often wondered why I see guys dropping their jeans when approaching a urinal. So the answer is "short zippers"!! Amazing what a guy can learn when reading the forum!!! LOL |

| For sure not a good deal when them zipper cogs are biting into the boys. Long zipper = better. Kind of got me to thinking about that scene in the movie "There's Something About Mary", when that poor young fella had a bad experience with his zipper. Lol. Darrel |

Thought they might have been for the "guys" that are "light in the loafers." but they buy those high $$$ jeans. No quality control these days and if the manufacturer can cut corners they will. Tom, don't you go struttin' around in those fancy jeans trying to impress the gals. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

| I at least still buy Carpenter jeans, one for the big pockets but two for the extra room for slim and the twins to hang loose!! Zipper goes well below where could be a nuisance or get hung up in. |

Haven't got any with the short zipper yet but I used to buy Lee jeans and they were always good so I was at Menards a while back and I see they had Lee jeans so I bought a couple pair and about the second time I wore them I was bent over trimming a horses hoof and the but split wide open along side the back pocket same thing happened to the second pair after wearing them couple of times , Don't take much of a strain to destroy them sure not like they used to be. ------------- “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough” |

Speaking of urinals, well someone mentioned them, anyway, I was up in Cheyenne, WY over the weekend and spent a couple hours in the old train station, now brewpub/restaurant. In the men's restroom were three urinals side by side but all three were at different heights, baby bear, big brother and dad's I guess. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

I like the Duluth Trading 'Ballroom' jeans. Just like the name implies, plenty of room for the boys... ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian." Henry Ford |

Gordy I had the same with 2 pair that wasn't Lee jeans. I wonder if these pants were all made at the same overseas sweatshop. The buttons labels etc. are changed after a specified run count and back to running again. Could of been the same jean material used in them and defective . The 2 that happened with had some American name, not necessarily a brand name. ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

Gordy, my son had a pair from Rural King and they also split along side of rear pocket. I agree with chaskaduo, same material, different buttons and name. Dale
