Mens Fashion
Re: Mens Fashion
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I have a pair of Levi's 541 on the way. There's not many options in terms of physical retail up here so my options are limited in terms of local selection and ability to try things on. I have a very similar ratio to C40 though so I'm thinking the 541s will be a good fit.

If you do decide to try the Lee ones, be aware that different colors have different amount of material (according to Amazon).
Maddox: 98% Cotton, 2% Spandex
Cougar, Black: 97% Cotton, 3% Spandex
Maverick, Radical, Apex: 69% Cotton, 20% Polyester, 8% Rayon, 3% Spandex

Re: Mens Fashion
I'm totally expecting most guys to show up in Levi's and slim-fitted t-shirts at the next ERE meetup.

ERE uniform. You forgot the replaceable sole boots.

Re: Mens Fashion
I was disappointed with the Levi's 541s. They fit better than other jeans, but still had to get a pretty loose waist to get a comfortable fit around the thighs. I fit a size 34 waist, but my thighs are 28ish inches.
The best fitting jeans I've found are Urban Star jeans from Costco. They fit comfortably on both my waist and my thighs, and are stretchy enough to squat in. They're around 10 bucks a pair. There's no Costco where I live, so I ask my mom for Costco jeans each year for Christmas.

541s ended up being a perfect fit for me. They're now my default pants.
Re: Mens Fashion
There a Levi’s outlet store in walking distance for me. I’ll go check out the 541 next time I’m nearby. I’ve always felt Levi’s don’t fit me well. Also couldn’t understand all their numbers, so gave up on them. Thanks for the link @jacob that’s useless/useful information
If the 541 does fit, I’ll look out for when they go in sale.
This could be the dawn of the cross-continental wannabe ERE uniform

For anyone who can fit in 511s in size 30x30..I happen to be looking to get rid of a pair. For $10 plus shipping (probably around $10?) you can obtain the look of the quintessential male EREr. Order now and get a free bag of lentils with your purchase!!
