I appreciate all the input, guys.
You're right, if I am going to spend $230 + taxes on a pair of Paul Rose, I might as well buy Sal's Strike Gold's–though 17oz is pushing the boundaries of comfort for our humid summers.I might have to splurge and pick up some Flat Heads, as I believe their construction is top tier in terms of light weight, and I'd rather not have to worry about crotch blowouts and ripped bar tacks on pocket bags. The problem is, I'd like to budget myself closer to $200 for a pair rather than $400.
I'd gladly settle for a pair of 3Sixteen SL 100s, but 1. they don't appear to be much of a straight leg fit, and 2. I've had a lot of difficulty narrowing down sizing using their charts.

Go for some Uniqlo Raws, honestly you will be surprised by the quality for such a small price.

Is it just me, or does it seem wrong that a company named Vermont American sells products made in Switzerland? Or from anywhere other than Vermont? Or at the very least, America?

It's definitely wrong, and just another reason why I hate Super Dry Japan clothing. Designed in London, made in Turkey, bugger all to do with Japan.

Then again, it's kind of cool when Japanese repro brands like McCoys and Buzz Rickson pretend to have offices in the States purely in homage to old, union-made goods.
(I do hate Superdry too though)

Superdry ain't no homage though, it's gaudily designed tat, for people who drink warm cans of Fosters,wear track suit bottoms 2 sizes too big, and at least 2 Staffordshire bull terriers…...oh, and no job or thoughts of wanting a job.

It's weird to me that the group you described above is your perceived Superdry demographic. In London, they have a large flagship store in Covent Garden and the people who took up the brand first (maybe a couple of years ago) were definitely young professional types with disposable income (who might have viewed A&F as being too preppy) rather than scallys of any kind.
Maybe the brand is much more diluted now. The business woes of the company would indicate that they've attempted a really aggressive expansion and not been able to achieve it.

I saw that store in Covent Garden last year and thought it was weird, £5 gets you a hoody on Mansfield market, £20 gets you a stupidly over logo'd jacket.

Any of you guys bought anything from these guys?

Not sure if this was posted before or if this sounds stupid but I'm wondering, what do you peeps do in this situation,
Your jeans are having your current wallet fade but then you're changing wallet from say a short standard bi-fold wallet to a mid/long wallet. What'd you guys do? Go ahead? But then the fade would look funny isn't it? Anyone having or had a similar experience before?
