Jeans shopping - Round 2...

Today I got off work around 1 pm. About 1 hour later as I wanted to. Went direct to Vienna's 7th district. Got there within 30 minutes, although I had to get across half of Vienna to get there from my workplace. You gotta have to love subways. Makes getting around so much quicker. Found the Levi's shop right away. Luckily Mariahilferstrasse wasn't super crowded. And the shop was almost empty. Told the employee what I was looking for and she handed me a pair of 501's. I tried them and still wasn't sure if they were the right size. So I asked to try a pair in size 34. And again it was the same experience as at home. I just couldn't breathe in them. So I knew that 36 is the right size for me. Went out of the dressing room t choose some colors. Went with the classic blue and 2 more faded colors, since I really like those colors as well. But it is still my considered opinion, that the classic 501's Levi's have a slightly different cut than the 501's in faded colors. But they do fit me very well. Yes paying around 80 bucks for a pair of jeans isn't exactly cheep. But one has to take paying for the brand and paying the custom duties into consideration. And besides that, they are a perfect fit. For those of you guys who think that's expensive...thinks again. When I calculate price of the merchandise through the average time I can reasonably wear them...then that ends up to about 23 cents a day. And that's a decent deal as far as I'm concerned. So, if anyone ever said that accountants aren't fun to be around with...has to be entirely of his mind.
