I don't care for old Navy clothes, with the exception of some of their Tees. Even when my wife worked there for 6 years and got an employee discount, I rarely got clothes from there.

Never had a problem with Old Navy sizes. The commercials are annoying, but the clothes are inexpensive and of pretty good quality.

A pair of $15 old navy jeans lasts far longer than a pair of $50 AE or Levi jeans.

LOL! That's rich. Old Navy makes crappy ass quality clothes. For jeans I like Lucky, Express, or Gucci. Much better quality from those 3.

dude, you're comparing $20 to $50+ of course you are going to get better quality and fit from those 3. That's like saying a BMW has much better quality than a Saturn....I thinks it's pretty obvious. Old Navy for everday or work around the house/yard jeans, nicer jeans for wearing out at night.

Old navy jeans last about a year on me.

Levi's last about 4 or 5 years.

but you can buy 4 or 5 pairs of Old Navy jeans for the price of a pair of Levi's jeans ;)

but Staley has a point. I'd never wear Old Navy if I were going some place that I had to be dressed nice for. I mostly wear them for work and when just hanging out around the house (of course, since all I do is work and sleep, those two activities account for 90% of my time).

I think spending $25 on a pair of jeans, and getting a year of "looks good" out of them, followed by a couple years of "feels good" is perfectly acceptable. I just bought a pair of Levi Signature jeans (made in Honduras baby YEAH!) for that from target. I went to Express before that, and all the jeans there seemed too trendy to me, and cost more.

Now, if someone wants to tell me that I can buy a pair of 32x35 jeans at Express, or that jeans bought at Express can be put in the dryer without shrinking at all, I might be more inclined to shop there.

Express jeans fit perfectly. And they last too.

express has the best shirts


You talking about their stretch dress shirt? I agree that Express makes awesome jeans, but I've really liked Lucky a lot lately as well. Dolce & Gabanna's shirts are quite nice as well.
