I bought them anyway since nordstrom has a really lax return policy. Turns out they are the most comfortable jeans I've ever owned. I used to be the same way not wanting to pay more than like $40 for a pair, but sometimes it's worth it.

'Seven' jeans are pretty pricey. They usually run about 200 or so.

I wear fashionable jeans, not more that $20. Its all about the look and not the label.

I hope you are not male because if you are, you have no man card. And if you do have one it is pink and counterfeit.

you're fucking ignorant and a loser if you don't own a few pairs of $200 jeans.

I've never owned a "fashionable" jean in my life, but I would like to be SLIGHTLY more fashionable than I am. But I REFUSE to pay even $100 for a pair of jeans, when my Levis fit just fine.

Also, I wear a 42 x 34, as I'm 6'9" and I have huge legs (almost all muscle, for the record, and I have the body fat % to prove it).

what? 6'9''? with only a 34" inseam? I'm almost a foot shorter than you with a 32" inseam. and my waist size is 30". Almost all fat it seems.

the thing is, the most fashionable thing is to buy your levis and not give it another thought. They are jeans. Heck I'd own more $3 pairs of goodwill jeans if I had the time to go look for my size more often

Fixed, you got a few things mixed up.

That being said, Levi's are great for under 40, they last pretty long too, I've owned more expensive jeans, but even 80 dollar + pairs don't last as long as Levi's.

But that is if you can stand walking around without the Buckle or Abercrombie logo on your pants.... I know it's hard...

I'm trying to lose about 50 pounds, but that's all I have to lose. I just recently took a body fat % test with calipers, and I have almost no fat on my legs. If I lost every ounce of fat on my body, I still wouldn't be able to wear any less than a 40"

AND WHAT DOES INSEAM HAVE TO DO WITH BEING FAT??!?!?!?

it doesn't make sense that you are so tall and have such a short inseam. Doesn't make sense. post a pic of yourself.

as for legs, fat doesn't deposit on the legs for men as much as the ass/gut/torso area.


If you lost 50lbs, or were below 10% fat, you would probably fit into a 36".

200%??? Obviously, you don't have to be a genius to sell overpriced jeans.

there are lots of fakes for sale (not as much as before) but the losers selling have to make a point of selling "AUTHENTIC" jeans. A lot of them are mexicans living in california and they are socially retarded.

actually he's from thailand, I wouldn't buy anything from him since he'll probably do a bait and switch on the jeans.

I think that Casio has been watching too many reruns of Queer Eye. His decent into the cruel world of metrosexuality is probably unrepairable at this point :)

Some have deposits of fat between their ears and it's the hardest to get rid of.


Anyone that spends more than $50 on jeans deserves it when people point and call him derogitory homosexual names.

Dude Casio, you and I have gone toe to toe on this jean issue before but this time I'll ask you some serious questions. What makes these $200 jeans better/noticeable over say $30 - 50 jeans? I've seen both sides of the jean world, my buddy wears $200 jeans and they look good on him but so do his normal Levi's. I can understand that some of the "higher end " denim is selvage which seems to be stronger and durable then cheaper jeans but other then that, fashion/style wise I don't see any advantages - maybe you can educate me.
