RANT: AE jeans are horrible

I have a pair of AE jeans that were made with small holes above the back pockets. Stupid, I think, but I've had them for almost a year and have had no problems. Plus, they are unbelievably comfortable so I don't care.

And jeebus, 26 waist? I'm damn scrawny and I wear 32x34.

Yeah, but does your brother have great nunchuck skills like me?
 
so you carry your wallet in that back pocket? perhaps you should stop walking around with a what's his name from seinfeld wallet?

that's my only thought. i love my AE jeans, they fit so great. if i can find them for 20 bucks again, i'll buy it in an instant... meaning i'll go back in about may when they start clearing out their spring lines.

ha, it's funny cause you're like 50 pounds more than me 🙂 Or something like that... how much do you weigh again?
 
I think all AE stuff is pretty cheap. All their shirts are paper thin. I guess that is the style but wash them a few times and they will fall apart.

Get some Diesels, great jeans. I haven't touched AE since 9th grade.
Diesels are like $120. Same with Lucky Jeans. I have a friend that works at Lucky, he gets a 60% discount, which equals $40 for their cheapest pair.

Meanwhile, I have some Calvin Klein jeans I bought from Costco for $22.50.

try lucky jeans.. .. got pairs that I have had for several years. No holes from anything except me stabbing myself with sharp objects and a barb wire fence fiasco.. ..

My favorite pair of Lucky Jeans just died due to ripping. 🙁

They're ~$70-80 here. Great jeans.

I'm pretty much a straight legged Katherine Hammett, Diesel, J-Crew kinda guy. I don't like em tapered either. I'd rather wear bell bottoms or die than wear tapered!

Word.

Levi's are where its at. I've had Lee's rip apart on me in like 2 weeks, I've had AE's rip, a buncha other brands rip, but I've never had a pair of Levi's rip. Even the "distressed" styles that have a high potential of ripping have never ripped.

Levi's own all.


I believe Lee's are owned by Levi.
