S#!T your better half says about your wardrobe
-
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.”

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

Do you want me to take your picture?

"You know KMart sells that exact same flannel for $20."
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!

Same.

@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 -
And this is why we bib

When I wear bibs "you look like a hillbilly" or wabby "like a train conductor"
Mostly it's, "yeah, I get it, it's a nice flannel"

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!"
but they do look like bowling shoes

Both at once: Hillbilly train conductor!

Haha this is a funny thread. My wife generally likes my IH gear, although when I first started wearing western shirts I got lots of “cowboy”, “yeeehaw”, and “pard’ner” comments.
Now, the only thing she gripes about is the price. But hey, since I only spend my own disposable bit of money from how we split the finances, and she gets her own pot to do what she wants, I care not.

Speaking of bibs, I was getting off a train whilst wearing my overalls and I had a slightly sarcastic comment about my dress sense. It came from a youth with a very dubious mullet that was probably a bad idea when his father was his age, and hasn't improved in the intervening years.

Exactly
Yep, this is basically how my relationship works. She doesn’t care if I spend my money like a bit of a dumbass sometimes, as long as I’m not eating into important things. I’ve had previous ones that were not that way, and I’d say the anxiety that popped up over spending was pretty indicative of a larger overall problems of relationship health.
But yes my lady is the best and I absolutely love it when she says something hilarious about my stuff. I laugh at Santa boots literally every time I put on engineers.
