Jeans

I bought a couple of pairs of jeans from Republic earlier this week, I got them whilst I was at work and girlfriend helped me to pick them. The following night when my boyfriend came round I showed them to him and he really liked the pair in the photo; they're made by Bench and they really are a wonderful pair of jeans. They're a great colour wash with great stitching and crease detail, a great fit and the square cut pockets with zips and buttons really do make them stand out.

He liked them so much he asked me if would mind if he got a pair the same and I just thought it was so sweet. I didn't mind in the least in fact I thought it would be great, we could even go out in them together - two boyfriends in matching jeans is just so twee in my mind, I love the idea.

I wore them yesterday when we went shopping and as we entered Republic my baby began searching through the rails of jeans, he couldn't find a pair he liked other than the ones I'd already got. That said they had a pair of awesome G-Star jeans in the sale, reduced from £90 to £20, the only problem being they were an odd size, 38 waist/36 leg; like I said seriously odd. I mean I thought I had a long leg at 34 but I guess there's a seriously long legged person out there who's going to get a bargain! He asked me again to make sure I didn't mind him buying the same ones when one of the sales assistants approached and asked if he could help. I couldn't believe what my baby said next..........

He said, my boyfriend bought a pair of Bench jeans from here earlier this week and I'd like a pair the same please. They look like this before lifting my cardigan up so the sales guy could get a good look at the jeans I was wearing, not to mention the gay belt and my pants too! I was kind of speechless but my baby continued, this is my boyfriend by the way, the jeans fit him well don't they? That was it, I just set off laughing which set my baby off too and this guys looking at us, probably thinking we're taking the piss out of him.

Anyway, he obviously recognised the jeans and took us over to the correct rail, asked what size my baby required before picking them for him; all the while he had this slightly bemused look etched across his face. He teamed them up with a Soul Cal bubble jacket as part of the 2 for £50 offer and the jacket is seriously cool, it's kind of a bubble jacket body with knitted arms, sounds horrible but looks the business.

I think the sales guy breathed a sigh of relief when my baby paid for the goods and saw us leaving the store; he may need some therapy but the look upon his face was just a picture. What do you think of new pants by the way? They're a pair of Calvin Kleins, I bought four different pairs when I bought my cardigan and I appreciate I already own enough underwear but as they were in the sale I just couldn't resist. Besides if you think that's it for underwear purchases, read on.........
