As for a comfort difference between jeans and chinos, there's a definite comfort difference in the summer. 
And on that note, FantASTic, when we go camping between June and September, we wear chinos (or shorts) as well. Otherwise, everyone is in jeans.
Oh well, it's late and I need to go take my jeans off and get ready for bed. |
I wear jeans even at my advanced age in Georgia as well, but I wouldn't wear them to a social event typically.
I did think you were in Denver for some reason, but I was really just thinking about places and events for which jeans be actually be expected on adults, not just acceptable. Rodeos for sure, maybe chili contests or huge BBQ events, and chuck wagon cook offs? In the west, I think you can wear jeans anyplace almost, especially if you are an actual rancher.
What would you say they are expected at in North Carolina, in the sense that you'd seem like you were wound too tight if you showed up in something else?
Hunting, fishing, camping sure, but I can't think of much that would be primarily a social event.
It's been kind of interesting to think about.
