Lululemon and Uggs are for girls. All they need is Desmond to score a sponsorship with North Face and it'll be the 'basic b****' trifecta

This is going to sound hipster.

Uggs were originally worn by suffers to keep their feet warm for dawn patrol. I was first introduced to uggs when I was doing age group swimming. This was in the early mid 90's and almost everyone on my team had some kind of Ugg type boots to keep warm at swim meets. I had some knock off brand because my mom didn't want to shell out that much money for the Uggs. We wore them for a reason, but at some point it became fashion statement to wear them.

When I walk by the Lululemom, my wife tells me it just women's workout clothes. Did she lie to me? I had no idea they sold clothes for men too. Will have to check it out.

they sell men's stuff but they are known for their women's clothes. it's actually become a bit of a marketing/branding issue for them as they are trying to branch out into men's gear more but are seen as a feminine brand. some companies, like Rhone, take advantage of that and present themselves as a more masculine alternative to lulu.

I don't understand the obsession with Lululemon. That said, it seems Jimmy is wearing slimmer fit pants, which is clearly the right move. Baggy clothing is so terrible looking.

My daughter gave me a pair for Christmas last year......thought strange at first, but the material is great.

They now have a number of different styles..5-pocket jeans, khaki slacks, etc.  They are a great fit.  The dark blue is almost the same color as our uniforms.

You never have to iron these pants......they don't wrinkle and worth the price.

I will admit, the Lululemon stuff is very nice indeed - my wife actually got me to try them out and as others have said, they are very comfortable and well-fitting. 

That was an afternoon at Twelve Oaks well spent, in retrospect, even if the brand tends to make your credit card hot and your wallet sad. Worth the price really.

I went from teasing my wife about buying expensive pants to loving lululemon for myself. Now I own two of their shorts and four of their lounge pants. Their stuff is obviously expensive but very comfortable. I'm glad to see Coach on the bandwagon also.

Of all the many, many threads on MGoBlog, I think this is the weirdest. Someone mentions Lululemon and all of a sudden half the MGoReadership chimes in to talk about how much they love the pants, how comfortable the fabric is, etc.

NTTAWWT--I'm just surprised. If you had asked me to predict how MGoReaders would respond to a thread about Lululemon I would have said 1) a healthy dose of disdain, and 2) lots of negs.

The only one who doesn't care whatsoever how Jim Harbaugh's ass looks in coaching pants? I've experienced more than enough uniform choice threads here and there. Now, the anti-ball crushing aspect is useful information, just saw that, and I may buy a pair - because.

A buddy of mine has those pants and loves them.

I heartily recommend Bluffworks pants. I wore basically one pair of pants during our 8 day trip to Italy last year. They were FANTASTIC in the cool weather, rain (dry SUPER fast), and heat (wicks moisture and keeps you very cool). One day in Rome, it hit 80F and I was very comfortable in long pants walking around the Colosseum and Roman Forum. They also have hidden zippered security pockets, which I really like. 

I can easily go casual with these, golf in them, and pair with a blazer. Very versatile pants. And they're made in the USA.

My wife used to work at LuLu and her employee discount made it so we spent probably all of her salary on their clothes. No regrets.

I've always resected the "Khakis for simplicity" argument from Jimbo.  Still do.  Just wish there weren't so many guys on here shamelessly copping to their own Lulu love

I walked into a Lululemon store once not knowing what it was. They have a weird upside down omega brand but no name on the store front. Anyway I thought "oh like a Patagonia" then I saw the prices and I walked directly back out. If the fiancée ever finds this place I'm going to have to take a second mortgage. Everything was at least $100. Everything.
