Oh. And anybody wishing to get the OUTLAW leader all decked out? He wears size 34.
Comment by Slartibartfast on 11/21 @ 10:02 am #
I think they’ve lowered the pockets to make it appear, shirt untucked, as if your pants are, chic-ly pulled down to expose your boxers.
But you get to keep your pants securely pulled up, so you don’t get tripped up running from the law.
Comment by sylvie_oshima on 11/21 @ 10:04 am #
Those are girlyman jeans.
You need True Religion.
Comment by McGehee on 11/21 @ 10:08 am #
Those will go great with my OUTLAW “Members Only” jacket.
Comment by Jeff G. on 11/21 @ 10:14 am #
Girlyman jeans? McQueen, Eastwood, Bronson, Newman? These jeans are modeled after designs taken from the age of the anti-hero. These are the jeans of the Woodpecker.
True Religion jeans are hideous. Hopefully the progressives will adopt such a costume, which provides the perfect horseshoe shaped target on their asses for me to stick my boot.

Hey, that guy on the right…his ass fell off.
Comment by Jeff G. on 11/21 @ 10:22 am #
I have a pair like that, Mossberg, but they’re PRPS.
I really do like the Antik’s though. There’s a Bronson style that doesn’t use the western cut with low slung pockets Slart mentions. For you neo-traditionalists.

Here’s my OUTLAW wallet.
And my OUTLAW time piece.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 11/21 @ 10:32 am #
I’m still down with the deerstalker hats.
For the successful outlaw, I’d recommend this.
Comment by Jim in KC on 11/21 @ 10:32 am #
I think I’ll stick with the Carhartt B237s. Pockets on the right leg for cell phone and Skoal can, pocket on the left leg for a spare mag for the 1911. Hard to beat that. Plus, they’re like $35.

Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 11/21 @ 10:36 am #
Carhartts are good for on-the-job use.
Many outlaw-related garments and tools can be purchased here.
Comment by Slartibartfast on 11/21 @ 10:38 am #
You could seriously hurt yourself if you sat on that wallet wrong, Jeff.
Guess the trick is to get someone else to sit on it wrong, maybe.
Comment by Sgt York on 11/21 @ 10:38 am #
Jeff,
I have enormous respect for you. The cultural history of those jeans notwithstanding, you cannot wear any pair of jeans that look like they have braided pockets: you have testicles.
End of story…
‘Course, I’m 45, and all old-fashioned and stuff…
You live in Colorado, but it’s Iowa where they wear their “fancy” jeans for “Sunday-go-to-meetin’”…
Comment by geoffb on 11/21 @ 10:39 am #
This is good also.
Comment by Slartibartfast on 11/21 @ 10:45 am #
I think Jeff needs to be shopping more at Gempler’s. To be an outlaw, you’ve got to take to the hills for months on end, kind of like that guy in West Virginia who was on the run from the law for, like, years. It’s a hard life, but the street cred is awesome.
Comment by HeatherRadish on 11/21 @ 10:50 am #
Farm and Fleet is excellent for the Budget Outlaw.
Plus, they sell women’s jeans in fat sizes and long lengths. At malls I can get fat jeans or long jeans, but never long fat jeans. Which is ridiculous in Wisconsin, with all its Viking women.
Comment by Joan of Argghh! on 11/21 @ 10:52 am #
Gah! I’m with geoffb; tramp stamps.
Besides, it’s how they look in the front that matters.

I look good in those Newmans.
Also a fan of Big Star and Buffalo jeans.

OUTLAW shopping at Macy’s for jeans? Dude, come on. Hit a second hand store or buy some Levi’s.
That’s about as OUTLAW as Harry Potter.

Comment by Joan of Argghh! on 11/21 @ 11:24 am #
Well, Jeff. We’re waiting for pics of you in your jeans. It’s the only way to settle this.
I say those are jeans for tat lovers who don’t have the courage to get a tattoo on their ass. Either way, prove me wrong!
:o)
Oh, and the big snit right now is whether so-called Christian bloggers should be posting pics of girls in bikinis.
Comment by Jeff G. on 11/21 @ 11:27 am #
I’m sick right now. But soon I’ll do an outlaw photo shoot.
As for the tats, well, I have the one I had done in Galway, but honestly, jeans are cheaper. But you’ll all be happy to hear I’ll be getting a new tat soon — an armadillo with a revolver.
Has to be done.
Comment by sylvie_oshima on 11/21 @ 11:27 am #
Oh, Oldwhiteguy jeans you meant.
lol.
Comment by Pablo Abu Jamal on 11/21 @ 11:28 am #
Um…no. Kinda poseurish. I’d stick with the beat up Levi’s. But if you steal them from Macy’s, that might be a different story.
Comment by Jeff G. on 11/21 @ 11:29 am #
Your taste is questionable, nishi. True Religion? You probably like Rock and Republic, too.
No thanks. I’m into OUTLAW classic.
Comment by sylvie_oshima on 11/21 @ 11:29 am #
I buy jeans at the feedstore.
Cruel Girls or BKE.
Comment by Jeff G. on 11/21 @ 11:35 am #
I don’t get you people. “Poseurish”? These things are made in Mexico. By skilled child labor. They’re very durable. Built to last. And as much as like my beat up Levi’s, they tear too easily in the knees and lose their shape (unless you go for the Premium labels, in which case, what’s the difference?)
I’m trying to turn you people on to new things. Open your minds.
Check out Big Star and Buffalo, too.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 11/21 @ 11:36 am #
Oh, Oldwhiteguy jeans you meant.
Hey, nishi: have you seen the run-down on O!’s team?
Granted, they’re not all white, and not all guys, but this isn’t exactly a crew of Young Urban Hipsters we’re talking about here.
Snicker.

The people Nishi admires are the same folks who learn to parrot back what professor’s say. That’s why they get high grades.
The SAT thing is not really true, I’d bet. But even then, I’m sure prep course were involved. It’s all about gaming the system. That’s what these people know, and it’s why they believe they are to be treated differently from the “ordinary” people they have risen above.
Lots of layers of guilt, rationalization, defensiveness, and believing the hype piled into those degrees, is my guess.

And yet you’ve shown yourself to be singularly ignorant of both, every time the subject has come up.
Back in the troll bin you go.
Comment by Jeff G. on 11/21 @ 11:53 am #
Mathematics on the SAT is formulaic.
So I don’t understand your mistake, given that it was you who brought up SAT scores.
The people in office? Not many mathematicians among them. Lots of Harvard and Yale law grads, though.

Yes, there’s no theorem proving (i.e., real mathematics) on the SAT, as I recall.
Comment by Joan of Argghh! on 11/21 @ 11:55 am #
Armadillo tat! Hell yeah. The Jolly Roger is after me to get a tat.
Now, just need to get the tat in some gravity-resistant area.

But back to outlaw accoutrement. Anyone have a Harley they want to let go really really cheaply?
Comment by sylvie_oshima on 11/21 @ 11:59 am #
Well, Jeff, der Volk fucked up.
Bush socialized the banking industry, spent 700 billion and 4000 heroic military lives to make Iraq an Islamic state, and created the econopalypse.
I think the electorate just decided to go with the despised, inauthentic, but radically brighter elites this time.
Comment by Sgt York on 11/21 @ 12:02 pm #
If you wear those jeans while riding a Harley, you’ll get beat up by a motorcycle gang…
Comment by Jeff G. on 11/21 @ 12:02 pm #
Yeah, nishi. Wasn’t like the Dems were all for the bailouts. And you’re wrong about Iraq and the collapse of the economy, as has been pointed out to you a million times.
In fact, it was the Clintonites who created the conditions for the collapse that began with the Carterites — the last set of self-styled brainiacs who fucked things up.
The electorate rejected McCain as Democrat-lite. Or more specifically, many on the conservative side did.
Comment by Jeff G. on 11/21 @ 12:04 pm #
Sgt York –
The last time a motorcycle gang started shit with me, we all wound up a half-hour later singing Eagles songs at some pub.
Comment by Sgt York on 11/21 @ 12:05 pm #
Make Iraq and Islamic state? Yeah, and you claim to know math?
Econopalypse?
Ever heard of Moral Hazard? Barney Frank? Fan and Fred?

How about an Indian Chief, either classic or revived?
Outlaw cred up the yang, plus the name adds an extra blast of political incorrectitude.

You could paint “This Machine Kills Liberal Fascists” on the tank.
Comment by Sgt York on 11/21 @ 12:16 pm #
Jeff,
True motorcycle gangs like the Outlaws don’t sing Eagles songs at pubs…It’s un-motorcyclegangly.
Just joshin’…
I’m and old fart, tattoos are for Marines, and embroidery belongs on girls jeans. Men are simple, and unadorned with “frilly things” as the Duke once said.
I do the “fancy” with the double breasted Italian or French cut suits, handmade. Sharp, elegant, yet understated colors and patterns and not ostentatious.
Fits my conservative, partially outlaw, demeanor
Comment by Sgt York on 11/21 @ 12:17 pm #
Indian would be a good selection, and I have a buddy with several…
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 11/21 @ 12:19 pm #
Have you heard anything about the revived models, Sgt. York? I’ve just seen the web site — no personal experience with them.

Well, I don’t deal much with Chicago gangs. But if I did, I’d have some help.

And one of the benefits of learning to kill people with your bare hands is that you can wear any damn thing you want.
Comment by Sgt York on 11/21 @ 12:22 pm #
You mean in recent years?
Kory’s got several, and two old ones.
He likes them quite a bit.
I can’t quite remember, but there was an old manufacturer that started up again in the mid-nineties in SW Iowa.
One of the bigger old names…who was it???
Comment by Sgt York on 11/21 @ 12:26 pm #
Isn’t that a comforting skill to learn, Jeff?
After my plebe year, I taught it in Military College when I was First Sergeant. Was always amazed at the confidence people developed after learning that skill.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 11/21 @ 12:27 pm #
I meant the company that just started up a couple of years ago. They’re using the Indian name, but I haven’t heard anything about their quality… second link in my message. It looks like they’re based in North Carolina.
The old British bikes are cool, too.
Comment by sylvie_oshima on 11/21 @ 12:27 pm #
Ahh, but it was Bush hispandering to deregulate latino mortgage qualls, and colluding with Greenspan to cut interest rates, that REALLY turned on the faucet for the torrent of sketchy mortgagebacked instruments.

And Iraq is an Islamic state. There is shari’a law in the constitution.

Check the link, and check your facts, Ma’am
Comment by Sgt York on 11/21 @ 12:34 pm #
Ummm, Sharia doesn’t allow voting for women, does it?
Yet, oddly enough, women voted in Iraq.
Wow!
Comment by Sgt York on 11/21 @ 12:41 pm #
I’m sorry SBP, I didn’t notice your links.
Actually, now that your reminded me, there’s big story behind that.
Kory was going to be one of the investors in that NC venture, but it turned out to be a charlie foxtrot, so he bailed.
He doesn’t have any of those.
Most of his {I think} are between 7 and 15 years old. Except for the two old ones.
So, to answer, don’t know much about the new ones…
Comment by sylvie_oshima on 11/21 @ 12:42 pm #
Shari’a does not forbid women to vote.
My link said, any laws must conform with established Islamic forms, ie shari’a.
Comment by mojo on 11/21 @ 12:43 pm #
Outlaw gangs need colors, mojo.
Yeah, that worked out so well for the Mongols. ;)
Well, maybe they’ll eventually get back the copyright on their colors and be able to wear them again. Ya never know.
My take: In a time of fascist oppression, it’s insane to self-identify as an OUTLAW!
Comment by sylvie_oshima on 11/21 @ 12:45 pm #
If there is al-Islam written into the constitution, how can it not be an Islamic state?
Comment by Sgt York on 11/21 @ 12:46 pm #
Well, the Sharia you speak of, and the Sharia I experienced during my travels must be two different kinds, then.
Because the places I’ve been to that use Sharia, there doesn’t seem to be too much voting going on.

My own personal OUTLAW! outfit starts with camo BDU pants, subdued Urban if I can find it. Sometimes cut off into shorts, to better weather the South Texas heat. Paired with the most F^&K YOU t-shirt I can find, dark sunglasses, and a bandanne as headgear.
Coat? If I have to, it’s a black leather motorcycle jacket, or a black oilskin duster, depends on if I need the .45 or the 12 guage…

All my OUTLAW research tells me I need a cowboy hat and a kerchief to pull up over my face.

I may need to do more research.

I do like shooting their horses out from under them, because if the horses are well trained they’ll go end-over-end like a racing boat that catches too much air.
Unfortunately, the animal-rights types found out where I live so now I have to only shoot the people on the horses.

Cargos from Khols because I’d rather get weldspatter on a 15.00 dollar pair of pants than a 50.00 pair of jeans. Dark colors so they dont show the dirt.Doc Martin chukkas, also suitably dirty. Long sleeve grey or black henley under a pocket T, or hawaiian shirt. No logos.

That’s not what the Iraqi constitution says. Soooo….somebody is wrong. And I note that you won’t quote the constitution itself, despite having been asked to do so. But I’ll bet you think the 2nd Amendment requires you to own a gun, based on your understanding of Iraq’s constitution.
