Kelly Slater has better jeans than Sydney Sweeney.
You have certainly, by now, stumbled across the Sydney Sweeney brouhaha completely absorbing the public square. In case you live under a rock, or have just come out of a darkness retreat, the story begins with off-brand Abercrombie & Fitch clothing company American Eagle releasing a campaign featuring the 27-year-old it girl talking about/posing in various Canadian tuxedos overlaid with the phrase “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.”
The play between “jeans” and “genes” obviously the point.
Well, certain segments of the population immediately pounced, declaring Sweeney being blonde and blue-eye’d and white and and “great jeans” an obvious and clear Nazi dogwhistle.
As you know, the German national-socialists praised “Aryan” traits, including blonde and blue and white and selectively bred whilst sterilizing or murdering undesirables.
Well, another certain segment of the population found the charge positively ludicrous and vociferously defended American Eagle and Sweeney while denouncing anyone who thought it wasn’t all innocent fun.
Enter Kelly Slater.
Surfing’s winningest ever is generally not far away from the spotlight’s bright shine and here he is, once again. The multi-hyphenate businessman owns his own clothing company, which just so happens to make denim.
It may shock you to know that I own two pairs and have worn them, regularly, over the past year. They are comfortable, stylish, neat and vastly superior to anything American Eagle makes.
In a word or eight, Kelly Slater has better jeans than Sydney Sweeney.
What do you make of them apples?
David Lee Scales and I discussed during our weekly non-surf chat and also dug into Katy Perry x Justin Trudeau.

Manufactured outraged by our shitty media. I have not seen one single person say anything about this other than ‘would bang’. BTW – would bang.
No way. Breasts too large and round.
That is an impossibilty! Watch Euphoria to see unleashed. Tigg ole biddies!
I’d bang those too.
ha, Kelly’s jeans $198…American Eagle $80…….so you could buy 3 pairs of the American bald eagle…….or I pair of the Bald GOAT’s??
Cmon man. You more than these saps know that paying people a fair wage and using sustainable materials raises the cost of the final product.
Also there’s no shortage of over 40 people who can afford to buy $200 jeans / trousers.
Anyone is free to buy the sustainable clothing or products, or to buy items made by corporations that are run by sociopaths and use horrible labour practises. If you can afford it then why not buy the sustainable items with the millions that their target market has stuffed away in their bank accounts?
point I was trying to make , is that comparing the Eagles and outer’s…..bit chalk and cheese……the AE’s have a pretty low transparency…while OK, very transparent and uses superior materials and manufacturing..
Sorta weird that American eagles are just cheaper lower quality Asian jeans!
Sorry boss. I missed your satire.
As they say; satire, when done well, doesn’t come across in print. You had me fooled thinking you were serious.
I can’t see myself ever paying $2,000 for a board but I recognise that there are hundreds or thousands of surfers who could buy ten $2,000 boards and not even recognise the cash missing from their account. So fair play to them and anybody who wants to buy premium products, as long as they’re doing it for the right reasons.
If Chas is right (yes, big IF) and they make him look stylish, then Kelly’s jeans are worth any amount of money.
Denim is a highly fire ressistant material when performing the act of dry rubbing, he knew what he was doing there

Chas, you must have rather short legs at 6’3” to be vouching for OK’s 32” maximum inseam length.
Tiny tackle…gains 3 – 4 inches of void
Sits like a man, but he smiles like a reptile
She loves him, she loves him, but just for a short while
She’ll scratch in the sand, won’t let go his hand
He says he’s a beautician and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor little Greenie
Tried to look up betting odds for Teahupoo and someone named their racehorse after said surf spot. He’s a hurdler and just won the Ladbrokes race in May. I smell a Grit story in this.
Okay I supported this pod for a long time, even enduring the mundane segments and even subscribed to ag1, but I really take umbrage to you only discussing the salacious bits now on the paid platform after me getting so invested, sooooo adios cunts!
Don’t keep work, tu n’es pas bonne voyage !
Gay!
Xox
My jeans are black.
Problem solved
You are so woke.
Its all the rage
Mine are acid washed
American eagle make the best boxer shorts.
had to give up boxer shorts a few years ago when my balls started bouncing off my kneecaps … boxer briefs the only answer for an aging kook!
These two are the only denim experts I’d listen to https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Hows Timbers Canadian Tux. Christ!
Tres ghay, Chas.
Is the duck bill stitched into the back pockets ?
the zipper pull is a tiny turtle
theses dummies should have use a bottle opener zipper, jeez, marketing fail!
Though it’s becoming doubtful that Ke11y has passed his own genes on to his Chinese girlfriend’s red haired son Tao-Lee.
It’s more likely that this ‘orange tressed Benjamin Button syndrome go-getter’ (pictured here wearing ear plugs to block out the whinging of his many women and children) got in while old baldy was busy losing a surf contest…
