i think they came in with a lot of imported styles and people just dont know what to do with them thats all
they get told they are fashion but not really WHY
if they are an american style why are so many made in China?
I dont know if say, nz clothes like Swanndri has suddently become cool fashion item in other countries and everyone starts wearing them just to be 'in' when they originally meant to wear out on the farm
its just curiousity

i was going go reply to this
because one time I and two friends entered a half marathon and we got matching t shirts, they were hot pink and they had a chocolate design on the front I recall
then I figured if we want to run one another time I would get t shirts especially made with inspiring words on the back...because if we do run ahead of anyone they can read whats on the back of our tshirts
But we havent run another one
something simple like I Run for Jesus or similar

t shirts would be easier to match than jeans as they are loose and you can pull them over your head
t shirt dresses even better
you can print any design you want on a t-shirt and get them customised
I dont know what sort of statement jeans try to make though, to me its a bit nebulous...rebel? what are you trying to rebel against? gang wear is leather jacket and patches, usually paired with black jeans
'westies' in nz are actually petrolheads and they usually wear black skinny jeans
the black is so when out joyriding a car in the dark they wont be seen and blend in...as everyone else wears them too
by 'everyone' I mean both men and women
obviously dont take it literally to mean everyone on the entire planet has a pair lol

I've designed running related t-shirts before with either of the following two verses of scripture on them:
"Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith." (Heb. 12:1-2)
"Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain." (I Cor. 9:24)
"Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith." (Heb. 12:1-2)
"Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain." (I Cor. 9:24)
I found out there was a jeans brand called 'true religion'
Not sure what the religion its meaning. if its Christianity, then all christians need to wear them lol
They have horsehoes on the butt pockets
But Ive never seen them here, must be only avilable in US
I think it was the Levis red tabs that were the 'cool' jean in the 80s and it was unacceptable to wear any other kind, but now, with all the knock offs, made in China, anything goes
but the levis were the original, they had the red tab, the leather brand thing, the v embroidery, the rivets, the five pockets and button fly
in the 90s cos of 'grunge' that came out of seattle, people started ripping up their jeans, like we dont like them war on jeans lol
then I lost track of jeans because at work they were banned, if you WERE going to wear jeans they had to be 'dress denim' i,e no holes
I do remmeber wearing a denim pencil skirt and that was actually ok, and it zipped up at the back, no fly.
then later on...skinny jeans came in but after a few wears they got all saggy and needed to be chucked out
then jeggings
the horror!
and now its like jeans what happened to you, you were once cool but now, you are sad rags that I wouldnt touch with a bargepole lol

It is a lot of words, but there are ways to incorporate the scripture into the design like I did here:
Again, I am not recommending this for you, nor is this some sort of shameless plug for one of my t-shirt designs.
As I've said before, I just dress in a manner which hopefully brings glory to God and which hopefully generates conversations about the Lord (that has happened many times) or at least plants a seed in someone's mind.
People do read my shirts, hoodies, and ballcaps all of the time, and many of them comment on them.
Years back, I worked in my friend's pizzeria back in New Jersey. His pizzeria was situated right across the street from the public high school and a Roman Catholic high school. Many students from both schools came into the pizzeria daily, and I probably had about 100 different Christian t-shirts back then, too (this was many years ago, and I no longer have any of those specific designs).
Anyhow, one of the students at one of the schools was my friend's daughter, and she told me that my t-shirts were the talk of the school. Granted, it was probably more in a mocking manner, but I did get to share the gospel with some students, give a Bible to one student, give tracts to several students, and I also had a most interesting conversation with a Jewish male teenager concerning a prophetic passage in the book of Daniel that points to Jesus. He actually came back into the pizzeria about a week later and told me that he had a dream about what I told him.
Hey, you never know. Plant a seed, and there just might be a harvest somewhere down the line.

I sometimes have colour in scripture bookmarks for the children
but otherwise dont wear faith on my sleeve (or t shirt)
car has fish symbol on it tho
if it was on jeans theyd need to embroider the fish symbol on the butt pockets though maybe you dont really want people looking there.
yesterday was at garden and there was a new guy wearing a mask made out of denim and it had two butt pockets on each side of the mask...lol
for some, wearing jeans is like a religion?! Holey jeans lol

I'm not suggesting that people need to wear scripture on their clothing, but it is a good way to get a conversation started...or to be thrown headlong off of a cliff.
If nothing else, then people know where I stand.
To be totally honest, it's also more than likely very directly linked to the fact that I have no friends on the face of this earth. It's not so much that people don't like me (because they generally do), but more so that they hate Jesus Christ.
Been there.
Done that.
So many times that nobody could ever convince me otherwise.
In fact, if I just walk into a FAMILY GATHERING while wearing a Christian-themed shirt or ballcap, then I literally see murder in some of my own family members' eyes.
I'm not joking...

Why'd you have to mention Chinese food?
Now I'm craving some pork fried rice and an eggroll (with some hot mustard, of course).
Well, my landlord invited me to his backyard barbecue.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that I might be on the menu...lol (only kidding about the last part).
I won't get any pork fried rice there, but I'll more than likely get some sort of rice and beans, which might be my favorite food (at least as a base) on the planet.
My marriage was basically a disaster, but my ex (she was Panamanian) was a very good cook.
I can still taste her chicken and rice cooked with coconut milk.
Ohhhh...

Believe me, it is.
Yea, hot mustard is a must when eating Chinese food.
I haven't had a bologna sandwich in probably the last 30 something years.
We used to get these big chunks of bologna (I'm sure there's a proper name for them) when I was a kid. Used to cut that in thick slices and eat it with some Gulden's spicy mustard. That was good, too.

Yea, I think that's what it's called.
Once, when I was a teenager, my younger sister (I'm number 8 out of 9 children) fell off of a wall and got a concussion right before my birthday. In all of the craziness that ensued, my mother forgot to buy me a birthday cake, and she put a candle in a ring bologna and then sang "Happy birthday" to me.
True story...
