Don't shoot the messenger
a heavy wollen kilt and no underwear - nothing effeminate about that

That, and with jeans you can wear a shirt out and not tuck it in.

Yeah, yeah, but is it also Hawaiian shirt day? Will there be birthday cake? Last time I didn't get any birthday cake....

At my office we are not allowed to wear sneakers, even on jeans day! Make no sense to me. Every now and then we get an email reminding us of this stupid rule.

you guys need to shop for more comfortable jeans

i've had jeans that were uncomfortable before, and i can assure you not all jeans are created equal. cheaper jeans are usually the worst offenders to comfort (in addition to style)

Can your jeans have holes in them (ventilation)?
