Perhaps that's what people assumed because that's what you said in your title...

$30-40 is what my undiscounted levi's cost, so in that regards I'd be open minded in trying another brand for the sake of great fit.

$200 for jeans? I'll dont mind spending big bucks on a product if it's worth it. I've spent $75 on jeans before because they fit well. But honestly, they also fit as well as my $40 jeans from Gap.

I'd rather spend $200 on a box of nice cigars and a 6-pack of my favorite beer

If you don't follow fashion trends why are you asking about the current "in" styles?

My favorite jeans are black seven for all mankind jeans I bought two years ago. They were $70, marked down from $200, and I thought I'd most likely return them once I got home and really tried them on, but they have turned out to be the most comfortable, good looking jeans I have. Match with everything too.

$40 is my limit, i get comfy levis and get 2 or 3 years out of them, though.

40 seems like a sweet spot for jeans, spend much more and there really is no difference, less and you get shit Chinese made jeans

read thru this read but replace all brandnames and "jeans" with "Hookers". Makes things interesting.

My two favorite pairs of jeans I own are a pair of Vans and a pair of Diesels. One was $15 an the other $99, go figure.

Same, got a pair for $35.

That's what about to post. I bought a pair for like $40 at Winners and they were originally over $100. I would had never paid that much for a pair of jeans but they are easily the most comfortable pair of jeans I've ever had!!!

Love my Blue Notes and they're the cheapest. My Point Zeros are an odd form of baggy. My Gaps crush my nuts. I'd love to find some bell bottoms-ish pants.

Is this a serious question? It's because I want to look good, but I don't know what "good" is this season because I don't follow the trends and the fashion industry is constantly moving the goalposts.

What's the point of discussing it? I think it's marketing doing a briallant job thinking 200 dollars will buy you a nice looking butt and slender legs.

While I hate to agree on the /thread... my most worn pair are diesels and going on three years are still without holes or damage anywhere, and I've worn these all over the place in every environment.
