    @Gammaman I have to echo what others said, that she wants to set down what you wear is a red flag for me. It would have been much more reasonable to say something like "I can't wait until this denim competition thing is over and I get to see you in a normal pair of trousers" to make her point without it coming across as dictatorial. I've been in relationships where certain lines were drawn in the sand - pizza was to be eaten with a knife and fork! And storming out of the restaurant in a huff was a reasonable response to my non-compliance! But at least I got to finish her pizza, seeings as how I was paying for it. - and it doesn't end well.

    Take the dive...

      @Gammaman my lady rolls 364 with me but it took many failed relationships to find her…we’re married now. I remember when I placed fourth in the redline rally (and to be honest I kept fading a secret to everyone around me) when I came home she made me a card with a drawing of my faded oni. My love to her is my life and fading is second but she respects my crazy passions in life. Always be you especially if it’s not hurtful or harmful to the ones you cherish…keep being you and let things fall into place. Only the strong weather the storm 💪

          It sounds so unreasonable doesn't it, "he dumped me for a pair of jeans".

          But what you wear is you, it defines what you are and who you are. Being told not to be you is very non-trivial IMHO.

          Edit: Ask her to join you on one of the Happy Hours, that should fix it 🙂

            @Gammaman I have been in toxic relationships and it took years of my life from me. I'm talking physical and mental abuse and there were signs I did not want to see. I don't know you or your partner but it seems unhealthy to make threads against things she don't aprove and also she should like you for who you are no matter what you are wearing.

            My girlfriend knows how much I love denim and she don't care about clothes too much. Sometimes she asks me too wear this or that for dinner because she likes it but mostly she lets me do my denim thing and no matter what I look like she loves me and that's the thing... Maybe you can compromise, for example I have bought some nice 555 duck pants because my girl asked to maybe on one day in the week I don't go all indigo... So I had an excuse to buy something nice and she likes when I wear it.

            In the end you have to decide what you gonna do about it but if you were my buddy I would say leave while you can. My life got better by 100% when I did

              @Gammaman I believe that some compromise in a relationship is inevitable and even healthy (at least in my case because I don't like a lot about myself and if someone I love helps me "file my rough edges" it's welcome). Having said that, however, if someone wants to distort or shape us, in my opinion this has little to do with love and a lot to do with control. If you have the feeling that the hated Bib is just the beginning, I would leave everything alone before anyone risks seriously hurting themselves.

                @FlavourFade I feel this…I have a nice pair of black freenote cloth Wilkes cut for special occasions. It feels nice for a fella to look a bit dressed up and impress the misses 🖤

                  Hi thanks for the great responses. I’m going to wash them and just wear them for work I think.
                  No me to I can’t be dressed by a women unless I’m unable to. It’s our own choice to wear what we want and when it’s like our last little bit of freedom being taken away from us. My soul would shrivel up and die.
                  For me now I’m wearing some old 14oz 777 and can’t wait for my bibs to dry.

                    This a real tear or rip caused from wear mostly from me crossing my legs. But I don’t mind it.
                    These were from the first batch of 777 14oz.

Shes a vintage clothes reseller (i have so many great made in USA old workwear from her) but we’re trying to buy land to dedicate ourselves back into that world 🙌
