    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    Cars with over 250 horsepower. Sure you need large engines in huge cars, but in smaller cars, why would anyone need to go that fast? It obviously is illegal.

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    It is indeed, but my mother would complain about the price, and I would be unable to make an online purchase without her. I couldn't possibly ask my father, as he is a major cheapskate. Maybe I should get the Aris Allen pants. However, I don't know if they have pockets or a fly.

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    I found out that the Timber Creek has the same rise as the Dockers. I have decided not to get them. Before I decide to pay over $50, or get vintage, I will look around a bit.

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    Then it would cost more then $75. If it was possible, I would most likely prefer to spend under $50, but it unfortunately appears that isn't the case with Luxire.

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    Unfortunately, it seems that the Luxire pants that are $69.99 have stripes on them. I was kind of hoping I could find solid colored pants. I measured the rise of my pants again, and it came to 11''. I measured my pajama pants rise and they were 12''. I find that kind of odd. The pajamas sit at...

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    Ok, I think I am going to get the Wrangler Timber Creek. When they come, I will post some pictures of them, and describe the waist height. Another option I thought of would be to purchase Big and Tall pants and get the legs tailored. I am unsure if that would work though. I have a question...

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    The waist is lower than I would like, and I was wondering if there were any pants out there with a higher waist. The Dockers, with them pulled up as much as possible, wind up about an inch below my belly button. So I was wondering if there were any other pants out there with a higher waist, at...

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    Are Ben Davis pants or jeans? If they are jeans, I don't think I would be very interested in them, as I am not interested in wearing jeans.

    My size is 31W 32L. However I'm not that interested in wearing used/vintage pants, sorry.

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    I think I found some high waisted pants (or the model is deformed) made by Wrangler. These pants appear to have a high waist, but I am unsure if they really have them, because on Amazon, they look different. Swedish work pants sound interesting, but again, shipping from Europe is not only...

    Hair cuts

    Before I used Brylcreem, I slicked my hair back without any product. As a result of my wavy hair, it poofed up. Last October, I started using Brylcreem. However, this January, I switched to a left side part, and I showed my hair stylist this picture of Jimmy Stewart, but I asked her to change...

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    So I have been looking around. I haven't really found anything much. It seems many places that have high waisted wide legged pants are unfortunately overseas. I have decided I will probably either go with the Red Kaps (if they have a high waist, or at least a natural waist), or the Aris...

    Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?

    I never flew in a vintage aircraft, but I have been inside one. There is a group called the Collings Foundation which preserves several vintage aircraft, including some WWII airplanes. The plane I was in was a B-24J Liberator called Witchcraft. It apparently is the only authentic airworthy B-24J.

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    Although they are high waisted, they aren't exactly what I am looking for. I am looking for a loose fitting/relaxed fit pair of pleated slacks with a high waist, preferably in brown or khaki. Much like what Edward said.

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    An issue arises with woolen pants I have noticed. It appears many of them (if not all of them) require to be dry cleaned. I prefer not to wear pants that need to be dry cleaned, as that becomes a bit of a hassle. As for cotton pants, how much different are the Dockers from the Red Kaps and...

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    So I assume they are included slacks? I wonder then, if the Red Kap pants would work for me. I always wear a sport coat out though, so I am unsure if they match. If not, I guess I should stick with Dockers until someone makes high waisted slacks.

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    I don't exactly see how these Dockers I have are pretty casual. They just look like any other pair of slacks to me, or am I missing something.

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    I don't really dress casual, as the most casual I ever get is a white shirt with a tie, slacks, and suspenders. So I guess Dickies isn't really for me. I find it very odd that they make work wear have higher waists than slacks.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I dress retro daily, but oddly, I don't get many comments. When I leave the house, I don a sport coat and fedora/panama. People do stare at me like I am from Saturn, but I couldn't care less. The only comments I that I rarely get are complements. I don't go to school, I am home schooled, thus, I...

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    I think I found some high waisted pleated slacks. After looking at Edward's suggestion, I looked at outdoors clothing companies. I found these pants, but I am not sure if they really have a high waist or not. I looked at Dickie's. They look like they have a pretty high waist, but unfortunately...
