(blows dust off typewriter) Can’t keep a good rat in hibernation forever. So there’s no amount of money you could pay me to go back to the dumb drama that came from recapping Paige’s vlogs, it wasn’t worth anyone’s time or energy when nothing happens in them and she does the exact same out of touch things that make you long for class warfare over and over again. I thought this would be a fun little way to flex those muscles because how long could one podcast episode take? Flash to hours later because this is like four vlogs in one but refusing to give up due to the sunk cost fallacy and I regret everything. Please know I watched the video version of this and it’s hard to focus because when will the inventor of veneers be brought to the Hague to be held accountable for their crimes. Also hard to focus when Paige’s hair is the same color as the ugly olive set curtains that I think are the same ones from my elementary school auditorium. “Paige, you don’t do many podcasts so I’m honored you’re sitting here with me”. Does Halle realize who she’s talking to? Ms. Two Balls one Mouth? Of Paige by Paige by Paige Lorenze, a Paige Lorenze Production fame? THEE Paige Lorenze? Can’t imagine why Halle would think she “doesn’t do many podcasts” and is unfamiliar with her game. Something that comes up right off the bat, like when they’re just trying to explain how they met, is how Girls Hate Paige And Are So Jealous Of Her. I watched this part multiple times and can’t even explain how it’s related to what they’re talking about, but Paige keeps circling back to this point. And as an adult who’s had social interactions with human beings before, nothing immediately tells me someone is the worst person you’ve ever met than when they’re a woman who has to tell you she’s a “girl’s girl” or talks about how girls are “jealous” and “mean” to each other (but not like her!!!). It’s like the girl equivalent of when a man has to tell you how great his sense of humor is. Like what women are you even hanging out with? Why? The last time I had to put any thought into Girl Politics or Girl Ethics and didn’t just try to be a decent human being regardless of gender, I was in middle school. If you genuinely as a full grown adult have ops or haters or whatever… skill issue. While Paige tries to sell this as a plus and a sign she’s sooooo highly evolved and non-confrontational, what she describes is deeply concerning pathological passive-aggression. She says she handles conflict the way her mom taught her, which is both by fawning (calling someone up and trying to figure out what she can do to “fix” it) and then pretending to get along with people she hates. Which, so cool, also so weird how people consistently respond to Paige by being hostile and catty. If only science could explain such a coinkydink, because I can’t possibly think of a reason why that might be a consistent theme in her life. Paige talks about opening a DB store in Nantucket next summer and how “the island doesn’t have something in our price point and quality” which is technically correct, I just googled and there is no Walmart or Temu on Nantucket, let alone a Walmart or Temu that prices itself like Ralph Lauren. She’s got us there. “I also feel like Nantucket is such a world.” - Paige Lorenze Please know at the time I’m watching this on Youtube there are dozens of comments and most of them are cooing over how articulate Paige is so always remember: the bar is in hell, you can’t possibly be the dumbest or worst person doing anything, live your dreams. “But also, like, females? And our emotional IQ? I think the way that we can just relate to people and sell to people is so… interesting.” - Paige Is the emotional IQ in the room with us. Paige goes on to list all the jobs she did before she was an influencer and as someone who worked a bunch before college to save up their money and avoid loans while deciding what I wanted to go to college for, Paige in the two or so years before she started influencing had more jobs than most people do in ten. Which means she did not work, she showed up somewhere for two weeks and then decided she was too good for something and either quit or got fired. Like girl we can do math and your dad’s money can’t buy you a different space-time continuum. And this comes in the context of them trying to sound so humble because they “worked retail” and then they start complaining about how being a hostess is “bitch work” and they got “no tips”. “Like one thing about me is I like to make money. I love to make money.” - Paige No way. NO WAY. Your marked up SheIn store especially combined with our dating history would never have clued me in!! Paige also full on admits she’s willing to deal with sexual harassment so long as she’s getting paid to do it. An absolutely bonkers take to admit to on main. “The cool thing about Nantucket? Everyone works. Even the trust fund babies. I was not a trust fund baby,” says Paige, because if there’s one thing about Paige, she will establish she’s not like the other girls or die trying. Like she and Halle never hung out as teenagers since “the Boston families sort of stick together” and she was “from Connecticut and Vermont”. Which, first of all, you’re not from Vermont, you went to boarding school in Vermont. Second of all, as a New Englander I can’t even begin to describe how white rich people this conversation is. For people who aren’t from New England or Massachusetts, if you summer by the beach there are three or four main places your family might have a home or part ownership of a cabin to indicate that y’all have money. If it’s up in Maine or on the North Shore, kinda middle class, white picket fence and a Golden Retriever. On the Cape is a little above that, though it depends on what part of the Cape, each town very much has an identity that sorts you into what subgenre of somewhere between middle class and upper middle class you are - some towns are more preppy, some more hippie crunchy, etc. Martha’s Vineyard, you’re upper middle class or upper class rich but not trust fund rich, like you’ve got family money because you come from a long line of accountants, or you came from nothing but now are a professor at Harvard married to another professor at Harvard. Nantucket is the Kennedys. You’re not getting a shack or a hotel room on that island unless you can send all your kids to private school and have legacy admission to an Ivy league school and you’ve got opinions on the estate tax being too high. But you see, the boarding school Paige went to isn’t in Boston, it’s in Vermont, and so that makes her salt of the earth. This continues through all the same talking points, blah blah she went to ski academy and was so responsible and aware of the sacrifices her parents made for her to do that, blah blah she was so focused, blah blah the things she love were so different because they were fishing and surfing and horseback riding. As a reminder of what an actually weird and different girl growing up in New England would look like, when I was growing up one of my niche interests was nature survivalism Girl Scout stuff, like I loved to imagine I was on the Oregon Trail and get out books from the library teaching me how to make acorn flour. Paige is once again up Hailey Bieber’s ass, saying that she like Halle has “the special sauce” and “aura” and that’s why she “gets a lot of hate”. Because she’s “so tea”. This is very, very transparently because a) Paige sees herself as Hailey Bieber and wants to be her and look like her and wear her as a skin suit and b) wants to be able to drop that she met her. Paige is also is so, so mean to Halle. This entire time she’s talking over her, subtly negging her, being very “oh sweetie I love that for you”. Like if you’ve ever had an experience with another woman where she presented super nice and supportive but made you feel like she was taking digs at you the entire time for reasons you couldn’t name because she presented as nice and you sounded insane when you tried to explain this to a man, this is like a highlight reel you can show any man who’s confused by the way women are socialized to be mean to each other in the passive-aggressive way Paige fully admits to being mean to people all the time. Anything Halle says, Paige has to first give her a very vague compliment but uses it in a way to establish herself as different and more virtuous by contrast. Which is incredibly effective with Halle, a party girl who. like most party girls, has a very, very fragile ego and a deep wound around her sense of self-worth. She acts crazy and is constantly making herself the butt of the joke because it gets her attention and because attention - good or bad - is the only thing that numbs the chasm of insecurity inside her, and Paige is incredibly good at playing off this. It’s wild. For example, this exchange when they talk about people saying stuff about them online: Paige: I feel like both of us, like everything has been said about us under the sun, like truly? Halle, sounding very sad, almost like she’s going to cry: Yeah but I feel like I’ve said it first. Paige, steamrolling over her: Yeah but you’re definitely… you… you are… I mean yeah, I love that for you, I think you’re so ahead of it. And I feel like you clock yourself before anyone can clock you, which is something I don’t really do. I feel like I don’t get online… i’m not super vulnerable online? I’m like.. Halle: You, like, you come from a different era of like influencer though- Paige: Yes! Halle: - I feel like you protect your peace a lot more. And I think that’s something I’m maybe going to learn eventually? That I should do? Like you can destroy my peace. Paige, talking over her: But! But in criticizing myself I think I’ll say, if you are not - if you are not putting out a narrative about yourself, about like certain things, certain topics, like someone will make it for you. I could break this down like a literature analysis. It’s the RICHEST text. Again funny to me that every Youtube commenters keep praising how articulate Paige is when she’s talking about how she thinks hate comes from “curiousness”, like she thinks there’s “love curiousness” and “hate curiousness”. THE WORD IS CURIOSITY. C U R I O S I T Y. This leads also into Paige’s whole spiel about how hate doesn’t bother her because she knows she’s SUCH a good person, and again the manipulating of Halle where the only compliments she gives her are ones she first gives herself and then goes “I think you do this too.” “I think when people call you out for something you’ve actually done it hurts a lot more.” - Paige I’d forgotten that the most uncomfortable part of having to hear Paige talk for me is remembering that I could without putting in an ounce of effort psychologically destroy her in under an hour. Anyway at this point Paige does a lot of lovebombing of Halle to make up for the uninterrupted fifteen or twenty minutes of negging she just did. Fun lore drop, Paige’s mom is from Weston and went to Noble and Greenough school which when Paige mentioned this I SCREECHED. If you’re not from the Boston area I’m really struggling to put into words how over the top old money snobby preppy this is. This is like… Gossip Girl but real life in Massachusetts. This is making the Gilmore Girls family look like paupers. And Paige tried to sell earlier that she wasn’t a trust fund kid. The fuck you aren’t. Her mom is a Whitney from Boston which she says is a big Boston family which sounds vaguely familiar enough that I’m sure if I cared to go walking around Mount Auburn Cemetery I’d find some of her family in it. Which is also where Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is buried, like we’re talking Mayflower and Daughters of the Revolution old money here. “That’s why the jawline… that’s why we’re snatched.” Halle I’ve seen both of your before surgery pictures and technically that is correct, you both had much softer jawlines until your family money gave you a new one so both genetically and financially yes, there’s a reason you have the same jaw. “I don’t have jawline injections! Clock it!” - Paige, lying “Sorry, she doesn’t claim it, but I do.” - Halle, I can’t believe this podcast is making me by contrast kind of love Halle HAHAHAHHA PAIGE SAYS SHE GOT A LITTLE FILLER ONCE BUT IT MADE HER LOOK LIKE HANDSOME SQUIDWARD SO SHE DISSOLVED IT she does read our snark!!! “Oh my god that was my whole thing on Reddit, that I was handsome Squidward.” - Halle, again kind of endearing me to her Paige blah blahs some more about how she had to move to the suburbs because all she was doing was “shopping or getting my hair done or creating content that didn’t really inspire me”. As opposed to now where her last few vlogs are that AND she cooks. “I’m really good at realizing when I’m going down a bad thing or down a bad path” - girl you’re literally not that’s how you became an influencer in the first place. This interview is also a great example of how therapy isn’t always the answer, particularly not for people who have no self-awareness who will often go to therapy to learn how to become better at weaponizing the language of it and be more manipulative. Paige says things like “even when I had no confidence I had confidence” and like you can tell she went to therapy or listened to some wellness podcast, cherrypicked the parts that made her sound coolest and most special, and then ignored any of the parts that would require actual work on yourself or recognition that you’re not the center of the universe or taking accountability for your actions. This is like the same as when people do spiritual woo woo stuff and instead of actually getting diagnosed with being neurodivergent they call themselves a starseed and say in their past life they were from Atlantis or something. But don’t worry, she’s still working on “myself and things”. She’s very humble. She also tries to pretend she’s so willing to take criticism because she “gets clocked” for old pictures before she “got her filler dissolved” but now she’s grown and changed and is such an evolved person. You just said less than ten minutes ago you’re NOT willing to take criticism if it’s too true! Make up your mind!!!!! Paige brags some more about what a great businesswoman she is and how haters will call it a “merch brand” but she’s running a massive business. And I don’t know if I forgot how bad she is about this or is getting worse over time, but it’s really, REALLY obvious when Paige talks about DB that she “built” it in the same way celebrities all “build” their brands - she uses a lot of business girlie word salad to say that she has what I’m sure there’s an actual name for but I call an IKEA company. She did the equivalent of going to IKEA, buying a bookshelf, paying a TaskRabbit to put it together, and is now going around calling herself a carpenter. “I saw even before large corporations saw the value in Instagram” - I literally majored in Digital Communications and you did not but go off. “Something I do want to like, you know, lend to and give light to in this conversation is that I didn’t have a full idea of what, like, Dairy Boy was going to be necessarily. We had no idea, Paige, it was incredibly subtle. Paige says if you’re listening to this and want to start a brand, start a brand, like she did when she listened to her gut at a very young age. So what is it, she didn’t have a vision or she intuitively in her gut had a vision? Also, congrats on having Dad’s money to start a brand, but you see, most people… don’t. Halle trying to glaze Paige by saying Paige listens to critiques and Paige is like “oh of course”, because I guess blocking people who comment on your shitty quality or customer service after sending them a passive aggressive DM counts as customer service now. Things Paige feels she invented along with marketing on Instagram are “making camo cool” and “masculine with a feminine touch”, and as someone who lived through the live laugh love Pinterest deer antlers and Buffalo Plaid as a motif for a boy’s nursery vibe of the early 2010’s I’m begging her to be so serious right now. Did you know before Paige NO BRANDS were into making sport and fashion like hot and chic, like making it look good to steal your dad’s Carhartt jacket? Never mind that Carhartt is a brand! Paige invented it! Except then she says that actually it’s because she “worked” at a ski shop where they were selling men’s gear to women and how she thought there was nothing hotter than that. To be fair when I was in middle school and very into the alt artsy girl Julia Stiles in 10 Things I Hate About You look I, too, thought I was the hottest shit imaginable for stealing my dad’s old L.L. Bean’s flannels and wearing them with low rise cargo pants and tank tops and Vans sneakers. But I also didn’t make this my whole personality as an adult. “Like there’s nothing hotter than a woman, a true woman, wearing something mensy.” I feel I could teach an entire gender studies college seminar on the amount of internalized misogyny in this interview and contained in this sentence specifically. “Again, I had the idea before I had the infrastructure. So I was printing on blanks, you know, someone made a video of it like peeling off and I’m like yeah no shit, I’m literally getting this, like I’m buying this blank and shipping it out of my garage.” Girl. Ma’am. The problem isn’t that you were doing that, the problem is that you’re charging, what $50 for that? And do you know how easy it is to make a better product? Screen printing is INCREDIBLY easy and cheap. You can get better quality printing materials at Micheal’s. I’ve seen and own stuff from local businesses and artists that are also printing on blanks and they charge less and make better products. The problem is the obvious disdain you have for your customer base, that you would do this, when people bring it up gaslight them and block them and get pissy with them in their TikTok comments, and then years later be like “hahahaha of course that’s how I started”. It’s the same grift she does with her fillers that she “got dissolved” and the editing her pictures she “no longer does”. Do a thing so obviously thinking your audience is the biggest load of idiots you can squeeze for money, when they aren’t idiots and call you out do everything in your power to stop them, and then years later admit to it and try to sell it as you being so cool and relatable and honest. But you see, Paige is so successful now because “I wasn’t scared of that, I wasn’t scared to learn”. But the point is a) you were, you literally torched multiple snark subs for this exact reason and b) even if you weren’t YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN. Shame exists for a REASON. “I bootstrapped the whole business.” I… girl you did not. Like even if you hadn’t had your dad’s money, you didn’t! You just didn’t! Here, let me have Barack Obama explain this to you better than I could because genuinely what the fuck. I'm sorry I'm apparently the first one to tell Paige this but no one is an island who does things on their own and we do live in a society. Anyway, Paige says she now has in-house designers and nothing is dropshipped so mark that for in about three years when she’s on some other podcast where she goes “hahaha of course everything was made in sweatshops and dropshipped, I never pretended it wasn’t!” Also Paige believes everyone who buys their products knows their quality and everyone who doesn’t is a bot. “I get tagged in so many videos like ‘Paige Lorenze blocked me’ and it’s like, you probably did something”. Yeah, how dare someone… (flips back through notes) follow Morgan Riddle? No, that can’t be right. “By the way I am never blocking people off of if they like a post about whatever”. Ahhhh we’ve reached the part where we’re just confidently and demonstrably lying, cool, cool cool cool. “I think there’s a misconception that I don’t take criticism well and I think in the beginning of my career… as an empath… it was really hard for me.” I SCREAMED OUT LOUD AND SCARED MY PETS. AN EMPATH AN EMPATH!?!?!?!?!? I, too, as an empath, love to use burner sockpuppet accounts to come into people’s DMs calling them slurs and telling them to off themselves for reporting on things I do on public platforms. What empath doesn’t, truly. “I can tell you that the hate I get has never impacted my business once”. I mean I’m sure it didn’t, there are people who make entire lifetime’s worth of money fundraising off of their right to say the N word to someone because it’s “freedom of speech”, hate is a totally viable marketing tool. It involves selling your soul to the devil and will always collapse in the end, but in the short term, yeah. But also that’s apples and oranges, Paige, which is why this only works in the short term. Your audience buys things because they’re in a club or group, the haters are outside in a different group. It doesn’t matter how many are in one group or another and those two groups don’t live in the same reality or interact. The problem is that this only works in one direction, you can add people to team hater from team fan when you, say, take weeks or months to ship their orders or overcharge them for dropshipped from China bullshit or because you and your audience age out of each other or any of the other obvious things you’re not thinking of and corners you’re cutting and mistakes you’re making. Those aren’t things you feel the consequences of immediately, those are things that you feel later down the line when you get married or turn thirty or Tommy dumps you or Instagram takes away all the followers you bought so brands stop wanting to work with you or whatever else it is that means your fifteen minutes of relevance are up, and that’s when you’ll be fucked because no matter how much you insist otherwise you didn’t do things “the right way”. Paige requires Halle tell her that she is also elevating being a WAG because she’s not just any WAG, she’s THEE WAG. Mind you, we went into this saying we wanted to talk about getting married to Tommy and all we say is that he’s “theeeee sweetest man” and that’s it, it’s then all about Paige viewing their relationship as a business opportunity and “elevating”. Relationships because you like someone and think of them as a whole and complete person that you want to spend your life and foster companionship and connection with is for suckers and poor people! Instead she has to - and I shit you not, this is truly the podcast where we say all the quiet parts out loud - talk about how this is a good business opportunity because living in Connecticut means she doesn’t dress up as much so now she can dress up for tennis matches and this “adds layers to her content”. If any man I dated when asked about me could only say that I was “sweet” and “supportive" and “added layers to his content” the way I would dump him so fast it would break the space-time continuum. Again Paige must mention she, too, is an athlete and a ski racer. “Honestly my tennis content kind of performs best of all my content. But to be honest, and I’ve said this before, being a WAG is the most - I mean the LEAST interesting thing about me and I don’t want to make it too much of my personality.” Well, it’s too late for (gestures vaguely) all of that. Sometimes around the forty minute mark this goes completely off the rails where Halle gives up and all the questions become “Paige, how are you so perfect and do it all so perfectly?” and Paige just talks about how great it is and how she’s invented a new type of feminism. Because before Paige, we didn’t see women doing and having it all. See before, especially coming from New England, women could only become a lawyer or work at a bank which was… not feminism, I guess. And then Paige gets upset and defends Trad Wives and how they actually work so hard and are bosses and like yeah no girl, we know, that’s the point. That’s why people don’t like them. Because they preach submission and being simple and conservative and back to basics while actually just being influencers doing influencer shit and running a business. Because it’s okay when THEY do it, but when you don’t do it or can’t do it because you have to put food on the table then it’s a failing on YOUR part. The problem is the hypocrisy. Wedding section where Paige says she wants her wedding to be - and you have to brace yourself for this vision because no one has ever done it like her before - a big party. And also objectifying and infantilizing “The Gays” as accessories and the only people they want to party with, that’s also cool love that. Because they have the aura and vibes and smell nice? I’ve heard they’re also, you know, human beings with thoughts and feelings, but unclear if Halle and Paige have heard that as well. Unclear if Paige gets that Tommy has those either though, to be fair, because she lists that she values Tommy’s opinion because he’s not a businessman and he’s simple and humble. So basically, she values that Tommy is dumb. They really love to talk about how simple Tommy is. Other things that are important to her about Tommy: he’s hardworking, he’s a man, he embodies her brand, he’s American but in a “fresh” way, he loves playing for his country, he’s all the things that Paige also embodies as a person and as a brand What is the opposite of relationship goals because I’ve never wanted to stay single for the rest of my life or join a nunnery more Paige says also the picture we circulate of what she looked like “before” we all made her bigger in it (sure) and also that she thought she looked like Megan Fox in it so good to know her delusion has been a lifelong condition. But also her excuse is that “no one looks like they did in high school” I’m ten years older than Paige and have reconnected and caught up with a few friends from high school in the last year who all went “oh my god you haven’t aged a DAY” and that’s that on letting yourself be the weight you’re going to be by eating three meals a day, leaving your face alone, wearing sunscreen, and hydrating. Anyway Paige is SO salty about “some people” (us) thinking she “had a face transplant”. One of the listener questions is how soon is too soon to ask a man what you are and Paige says very emphatically you should never have to ask a man “what you are” and I am going to go right ahead and say that’s terrible but very in character passive-aggressive advice. So Paige brought you close to say that and I’m going to bring you closer and say no. You need to communicate clearly in relationships. If you have questions, you need to ask them. People are not mind readers. Don’t leave things to vibes and implications, that’s how miscommunications and hurt feelings happen. If you expect that people are going to live by arbitrary rules and expectations you have in your head and then don’t explain what those are or let questions and resentments fester or run from anyone who inspires a single question or need for clarification inside of you, that’s a great way to never grow and learn as a person and have terrible relationships because you feel resentful and take it out in covertly the way Paige does forever. Oh thank god we’re done, this is nine pages long single spaced and I hate every choice in my life that led me to this point. God bless you if you for whatever godforsaken reason read this far and goodbye forever. submitted by /u/Formal_Pea9167 to r/nycinfluencersnarking [link] [comments]

Full Suit - Half Balloon Cabinet Maker Brown This is NOT your Carhartt Carpenter pant! Dating from 1880 - these are the original work pants - wide cut, button fly, with a balloon shape , sweeping down to an 8 inch ankle in canvas, drill, moleskin or corduroy… They are the quintessential french work pants. Loose fitting with varying widths and faintly comic names: The Straight, Half Hussar, Full Hussar (based on cavalry pants) and for work: The Balloon, Half Balloon and the voluminous Full Balloon.. With nicknames like “wideboy” or "big boy" and commonly known in France as ... The Largeot. Half Balloon, Balloon, Full Balloon LA FONT LE LARGEOT "I remember in particular the silhouette of a carpenter, tall and sturdy, who always wore a wide red flannel belt rolled several times around his waist and brown velvet* trousers with slightly baggy sides." – Robert Debré, The Honor of Living Testimony. Paris. *By velvet he refers to corduroy Unlike many workwear items with uncertain origins, or different parties claiming to be the creator, the Largeot has a well documented originator: Adolphe Lafont of Lyon, France. Curiously, it is claimed that he was the creator of the “carpenters overalls/dungaree” in 1844 (later perfected by Levi Strauss). The Largeot came a little later being sold by Lafont from around 1890. LaFonts Storefront Lyon WIDE-FITTERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE AND TAKE OVER Worn for ease of movement while working they were sold to and worn by most trades. Although the black moleskin or corduroy trousers were initially designed for carpenters they were quickly adopted by construction workers, roofers and more. Held up by a fabric belt or sash they soon became a symbol of the Workers Rights. The construction industry was the driving force behind this labor movement at the time and wide ranging strikes in Paris in 1909 led by earthmovers on the Paris metro construction sites, united many of the working class.. From Postal Workers to Railway Men. Happy Striker - In Half Balloon and Sash Paris 1909 Images of workers in their “Largeot” adorned posters in the socialist and trade unionist imagery of the time. Political illustrations and caricatures presented the Largeot as the worker's garment and contrasted it with the “capitalist bourgeois” stiff shirting and formal black suits. Parisian Socialist vs Stiff Bourgeois "On Sundays, he puts on a clean shirt, a less dirty felt hat, a less green overcoat, swaps his old, loamy trousers for a brand new pair of wide, black velvet (cord de roi) ones, his red flannel belt for a blue one, and, hand behind his back, still with the same slow step, goes off to wander the streets." – Auguste Brepson , A kid, Paris, Rieder, 1928, p. 227. COLORS, TRADES AND MODERNITY As with much traditional workwear, the color of the pants varies depending on the trade: black is dedicated to carpenters and roofers. Ecru or beige fabric is mainly used by sculptors or stonemasons. Brown for cabinetmakers and joiners. And blue is associated with shipwrights, metalworkers and later general workers and factories. LaFont - Black for The Roofer In France these professions have managed to preserve their codes and wide-legged trousers remain favored for their robustness and comfort. Throughout the 20th century, the Largeot was a modern and authentic pair of trousers. Today, they are traditional trousers, carrying ancestral values and a strong heritage. Much like the cachet of champagne from the Champagne region or British pork pies from Melton Mowbray, French trade associations , the “compagnons-du-devoir” recognise the Largeot as the “official heritage pants" for tradesmen. Le Laboureur - Note The High Waisted Version Left. HOOKS, LOOPS, POCKETS AND SUSPENDERS Only a handful of companies still produce The Largeot and while some models have added and adapted with, higher waists, tool loops and suspender buttons; thigh pockets for a folding rule, pencil and gauge; a cinch back and even, this century - ”quelle horreur!” - cell phone pockets! Still, The Largeot remain steeped in tradition, heritage and respect for the past. Classic Largeot in Ecru For Stonemasons. Note the sudden taper to the ankle. Produced in moleskin, corduroy and a cotton/linen mix the traditional model would be simple with a button fly and slash pockets, a ruler pocket and smaller pocket for the pocket watch. Version with Cinch Back and Suspender Buttons HAMMER TIME NOT “HAMMER TIME” Balloon pants in general have made a kind of streetwear comeback the last 5 or 6 years, but I wonder how many can claim a 200 year history? Indeed most of the modern balloon pants seem based on Japanese styles or Bugle Boy “parachute pants” of the 80s, being much wider both at the leg and ankle. Le Laboureur High Waist Version - Stone Mason Ecru Le Labourer and the original LaFont still produce genuine traditional models, paired with the same brand/material chore coat is the look for me! Classic Half Balloon By LeFont - around $110 to $140 Available in Black, Ecru, Brown, Blue and Corduroy Classic Half Balloon By Le Laboureur “Ploughman”- around $110 - $165 Available in Black, Ecru, Blue, Brown and Corduroy High Waisted Suspenders/ Cinch Back by LeLabourer around $150-170 Best in Brown Corduroy or Ecru WHERE? Well... France. But a google search will bring up US and Euro stockists (Le Gardehier?). Etsy and the usual suspect have some… in fact just saw a cord pair on Poshmark size 34 waist! https://preview.redd.it/uyobaawk53ff1.jpg?width=430&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=607d51f24b7bdf77600c036683c82b923ae664a6 .. and remember comrades ""Labor is entitled to all it creates."! TL;DR: The Largeot (a.k.a. “wideboy” pants) are classic French work trousers with balloon‑like legs tapering to a narrow ankle. Originating in the late 1800s from Adolphe Lafont of Lyon, they became iconic among tradesmen and a symbol of the French labor movement. Traditionally made in moleskin, corduroy, or canvas, they later featured practical details like cinch backs. Few makers remain (notably Lafont and Le Laboureur), these heritage pants also enjoy a streetwear revival. submitted by /u/garage_artists to r/HeritageWear [link] [comments]

PLEASE women who like high waisted but loose fitting jeans, what are we wearing for welding so we don’t catch on fire? (Starting school August 4th, my brother went to school years ago and jokingly warned me I WILL in fact catch myself on fire a couple times learning.😂) If it helps I’ve tried dickies flex carpenters pants for men, I really loved the look but they were too low rise. Carhartt looks very nice, just very expensive but if it’s worth it it’s worth it. Thanks in advance🙂 submitted by /u/Ordinary-Ad398 to r/BlueCollarWomen [link] [comments]

Sorry in advance for the long post.. . I have had gastric bypass in the past and lost some weight but I'm left with loose skin around the stomach and thigh areas. I work in manufacturing and regularly get grease, dirt and dust on the pants on the best of days worse days is acid/chemicals or sharp metal ripping through them. Along with the normal thigh rub struggles. I obviously tend towards mens pants for pockets and durability on the job along with wearing steel toed boots I need to cover. I have tried many of the walmart, target, kohl's, and even menards versions of multiple styles of dickies, carhartt, and wrangler cargo, carpenter or electrician style pants they maybe last 2 months but are very uncomfortable with no stretch and end up giving at the seams even with a gusset style crotch. For reference I wear a 38waist /34 inseam for the most part depending on brand. Waist is usually loose but lower stomach and thighs and finding my inseam are the problem. Is there any alternatives that are durable that might give me more thigh room and have a stretch in the stomach/waist? That are also durable can be worn over boots and with pockets? Seems like a unicorn atm and I can't be wearing leggings, Joggers or slacks at work 🙃 Picture is of current wrangler rigg technician pant that i just blew out the thigh of my last pair. submitted by /u/Jessiegyrl to r/BlueCollarWomen [link] [comments]

Paypal Invoice Only, DM me! ————————- SHOES: No boxes unless specified J0rdan 4 Metallic Green size 9.5: $55 https://imgur.com/a/ipx9Xtd Worn 5+ times. I8 batch, decent quality and upper. The sole has some heel drag and the stars on the toe are almost gone, as well as the midsole paint cracking slightly. Cages are slightly yellowed as well. Overall really soft leather and great quality midsole, no glue stains or sole separation/crumbling. J0rdan 1 Obsidian size 9: $45 https://imgur.com/a/2IWQZSk Medium quality batch from Passersby from almost 2 years ago. Worn maybe 5-6 times I just never wore these with the colors in my wardrobe. Comfortable and leather is good quality, I will try to find the other color laces but not sure if I still have them. N1ke SB D4nk Low Paisley size 9: $45 https://imgur.com/a/DzGHYKs Deadstock. Fits TTS 8.5, the padding of the SB makes it fit small. One of the back tabs has embroidery that is slightly pink, otherwise these look fantastic. Unfortunately they just fit too small for me. N1ke D4nk Low Kasina size 9.5: $45 https://imgur.com/a/7MXU9Vn Worn 3-4 times, ok quality. Leather creases sorta weird and the front of the toe box tends to shrink in if I don’t jam my toes at the top. Some pen marks and the most annoying thing is that the tongue is a sort of foam material that doesn’t allow me to slide on my shoes like I like to. N1ke Saca1 Blazer White/Grey size 9: $40 https://imgur.com/a/LYQnpWf Deadstock. Fits TTS 9. Super budget batch, main 2 flaws are the 2nd back tab is supposed to be cream and and the side tabs are supposed to go over the bottom swoosh. Laces have a few snags on them as well. Not noticeable on feet though because the retails have terrible QC and the swoosh flaw is literally parallel to the ground.
