I would tend to think the first sign of a REAL MAN is someone who doesn't waste time pondering who is a real man and who isn't. And accepting your fellow citizens as they are strikes me as pretty manly too.

I never heard the term before so I looked it up:

hip·ster1    /ˈhɪpstər/ Show Spelled
[hip-ster] Show IPA

–noun Slang .
1. a person who is hip.
2. hepcat.
3. a person, especially during the 1950s, characterized by a particularly strong sense of alienation from most established social activities and relationships.


I think I'll pass. By the way, I'm wearing jeans right now. I wear jeans about 1/3 to 1/2 the time (small company, relaxed dress code). I don't feel any gay-er on the days I wear jeans than the days I don't. Maybe I'm not doing it right? The only times in the past 3 years I've worn a suit were for weddings, funerals, or job interviews. We have a word for people who wear suits in sunny South Florida: insane.

What do I wear camping? I don't camp. However, when hunting, I wear cammo and boots. The pigs and pheasants do not have the same standards of dress as my colleagues.
If you would've said men shouldn't wear jeans to formal events or to fine restaurants or to the office, you might have a few people agreeing with you. But the fact that you're saying men should never ever wear blue jeans under any circumstances, unless they want to be considered slovenly--well, that's kind of an extreme sentiment. American men--across class, ethnic, and political lines, like to wear jeans. It has nothing to do with being a positive role model.

You probably wear Dockers...

Right..........

Obviously you have never been hunting in your life. One gets covered with mud, dirt, and sometimes blood. Such attire is necessary for hog hunting. When one is hunting pheasant, camo is not necessary, for which I wear khaki bird hunting pants, jacket, and an orange vest (which is prudent to avoid being shot). The camo is used to blend in with the environment for hog hunting, but is not necessary for pheasant, as the dogs locate and flush the birds.

It is for the same reason that astronauts did not wear khakis on the moon and why deep sea divers do not wear tuxedos. Camo is specific functional clothing for a particular activity. This is completely different than wearing blue jeans at work or at social events, which is dressing like a bum. If you want to dress like a bum, that is your buisness. One's attire is one's right. You can dress in drag for all I care, however, that does not mean that I need to approve of it. Dress like you feel on the inside- if you are a bum, dress like one.

You make a valid argument that camo can be worn at times where it is appropriate and I completely agree. You also state that you will look slovenly if you wear jeans at work or at social events and I agree with this as well to a point.

But the statements made earlier were that there are NO situations when an Adult Male should wear blue jeans, and that is just incorrect. Agree?

What is one to make of specified 'jeans days' at work? Is it an eyesore, an oddity, an outrageous display of weirdos going way out?

We have a couple of those people who refuse to wear jeans on jeans day. They stick out like stodgy doofuses.
