The jeans to be distressed for you?

Not distressed, but "designed."

Nudies are great, I'm familiar with them. But they're boring and one pair looks like them all.

With 7s, each one is like a work of art. Very different than the previous one. They have names that describe the personality of the design.

Then give me an alternative besides those Japanese biker jeans people on here rant about, which I've never heard of and have never seen anyone wear before.

Sevens are awesome because of their constant new designs. Every 6 months or so they come out with completely new designs and themes, remaking all of their jeans over and over. It's like you get to collect all the different designs. Plus they fit better than any jean I've worn.

If you genuinely want help, there's plenty of it. It's hard to tell what you are looking for. Iron Hearts are not for Japanese bikers. It's kind of ironic you are trashing them while praising your Sevens, which, like I said, most denimheads scoff at. Ok some brands for you to check out:

Naked & Famous (great price points, aka cheap)
Sugar Cane
Studio D'Artisan
Pure Blue Japan
3Sixteen
Nudies (I like them but falling out of favor)
Iron Heart (aforementioned)
Flat Head
APC (check out the New Standards)
Kicking Mule Workshop (cuts similar to classic Levi's)

All those brands are boring visually. I looked up most of them and I could not tell one from another visually.

Women with great bodies look good in sweat pants; fat chicks look disgusting no matter how you dress them. If someone looks shitty in X clothes, it's because that person is ugly. It's not the pants.

I'm not a woman and 99% of women would disagree with you.

Sounds like you dress like a slob and are bitter.

Don't you have a WoW guild you have to run?
nope. too busy lookin hot in my k-mart pants to run a guild


I wonder what this chick paid for her pants. Does it really matter? If you notice pants before you notice things like a person's hair or face, then you might be pantsexual.

200 / 40 = $5?
Do you stab people and steal their pants or something? Even my underwear costs more than $5 and that's something people can only see when I accidentally tuck my shirt into my underwear and my pants start to slip down a little.

He said he had 4 pairs of jeans already, "Should I buy more $200 jeans"

200 x 4 = 800
800 / 40 = $20

Everything just for utility because you're so awesome and good looking. right....

I don't care if you're Brad Pitt dude, the way you present yourself speaks about your personality and your self esteem.

Sucks to be you.

Go ahead, post a short list of obscure internet-only brands that look like old man jeans.

There are shops in my town that will sell you a pair of UK jeans for £10, I don't know about websites that sell them, I don't buy clothes online.

For $200 I would expect the jeans to do something extra like make me walk faster. When functionally the jeans are the same I see no benefit.

I see, you're in England.

You can buy jeans made in first world countries for 10 pounds? Give me a brand.

In the US, everything under $50 is made in China or some other 3rd world nation with no working standards.

AFAIK, EU rules regarding claimed location of manufacture are very loose.

I don't think that's the case in the UK at all, my fiancees cousin works for Trading Standards and they are very strict with that stuff.

Maybe in mainland Europe.

Nothing wrong with premium designer jeans. You are just asking in the wrong forum. Ask in a fashion/fitness forum and most would probably praise you for giving them a heads up on the sale.
