      Being a devotee of the sort of heritage / denim / rugged / whateveryouwannacallit universe, I feel like I hear  stuff from my girlfriend all the time that's both hilarious and cuttingly accurate.

      I'm sure y'all have experienced the same, so I decided to start this thread.

      To start, my boots are some of my favorite things I own. According to my girlfriend:

      Engineer boots = "Santa boots"

      Lofgren Donkey Punchers = "They look like bowling shoes!"

      😢

                My fiancée and I are nearly the same size in IH gear, but she's a bit smaller than I am. There were a few times when I outgrew a garment and offered them to her.

                She said each time, "Aren't these expensive? Are you sure you don't want to sell this?"

                I said I'd rather see her strutting in IH gear than make a couple hundos. We match most days now  😃 yesterday we both had denim westerns and slubby denim bottoms on  😃

                      My wife loves my wardrobe and welcomes each new item. I was sporting some white Adidas Boost sneakers with jeans once, and she called me “Jerry Seinfeld.”  Touche! Back to vulcanized sneakers when wearing jeans.

                      She does make fun of my Acronym outerwear, especially when I use the strap to hang it across my shoulder when not wearing. But she loves heritage and western wear.

                      We were once asked at a retailer if we were in town for the stock show by a retailer. We glanced at each other and chuckled: “no, that’s just how we dress.”  😃

                      Think it, be it.

                        I get the Seinfeld comment 😃

                        My gf put the kabosh on a Stetson felt hat I had — something like “eh that just looks weird on your head, sits too high.”

                        It stung because I totally knew it haha. I still have that Open Road in the box if anyone wants to buy it 😅

                              By the time you’ve flown to one of the 3 remaining Kmart locations, you’ve come out ahead with the ethically-produced, vastly superior IH flannel. Check mate!

                              Think it, be it.

                                      @popvulture I definitely got some shit about the Lofgren engineers
                                      “Those look like womens boots!?”
                                      Then asked if she could wear them  :-\

                                      Also NONSTOP farmer jokes about the 805 Bibs…
                                      And they are so comfortable I don’t even care  😃

                                          Mostly it's, "yeah, I get it, it's a nice flannel"  😃
