I've been wearing Levi's and Old Navy. I really don't like either one. I really hate the straight leg / boot cut trend. Now either the jeans are too short, or I'm stepping on my pants with my heel every 3 steps. :|

that wouuld be under walmart.



Ahh yes - if you don't spend over $40 on your jeans then people you don't know or care about won't think you're cool.


Most <$40 jeans suck.
Crappy cuts, poor washes, cheap construction.
Also, no personality. Lack of details in stitching, backpocket design.

There's a lot of things that go into a pair of jeans that differentiate run-of-the-mill <$40 pairs vs. >$150 pairs.




qft.

>$150 for a pair of jeans - someone is desperate for others approval

My own approval, yes. If I like the fit and look, I get it.

98% of the public can't differentiate good denim from regular denim, so I don't exactly understand your argument of me seeking approval from others.

I like Wrangler's, Levi's, and Lee jeans myself, but then I'm not one of those metrosexual fashionistas who wastes their money on $100 jeans.

You know what's funny? Some metrosexual fashionistas spend way more than $100 on reproductions of old LEVI's and Lee's. Vintage originals go for even more, sometimes in the thousands.

I own an equal number of Lee, Levi's & Wrangler. They all work fine for me.

same. also the brand that Farm and Fleet carries is great. they are cheap and take a beating.

i usually get Lee's or Wranglers. Boot cut.

they also have some good work boots.


I have no need fo the expensive $80+ jeans. i only wear them for work (used to have a farm but still have a few acres) and around the house. Also i they are conferable and i do not need to "impress" anyone with expensive pants heh.

Co-sign on that. Only a couple people I know have heard of APC or whatever jeans. Diesel, True Religion, Seven, etc. are more noticeable because of the back pocket stitching, but for girls jeans they look better, IMO. I don't know much about men's "premium denim," but most of it doesn't look that extraordinary to me, so I might have to conceed this point.

American Eagle?

My favorite would have to be jeans from Express Men. I love Express clothing. Only buy it when it's on sale, though.

LOL metrosexual episode of south park right?

Tried jeans on today at AE, I thought they sucked ass. All the stains look funny, and I prefer buying my jeans without rips, tears, and pre-staining on the thigh region. Put my Levi's 550 jeans back on and left. AE still makes nice polos and shirts though 😛
 
Eh, jeans are purely utilitarian for me. At the end of the day I throw them on the floor, only to pick them up the next day and wear them again. I could really care less about the stitching, pockets, color etc.
 
Lucky and long or xtra long but u have niether option

its not really baggy since im tall so XL jeans fit just right
 
I wear baggy jeans, any brand, but probably not the kind of baggy you're thinking of. The "rock" kind that cover my boots. 🙂
 
I love my Armani Exchange. My girlfriend loves her Just Cavalli, you forgot to add that in the poll.

(I know...the whole sock option is there, but I'm not big on socks)


36, god damn are you 6'3''?

I wear 36's and I'm 5'10.

Length not width. 😉
