if you want some rugged jeans get some L.L. bean Jeans, almost bought some myself but they had too small of an ankle

Don't you know, the camel toe look is in now! :confused:

I just get whatever fits and is on sale. :) You can try like the outlet mall guy to get cheap name-brand stuff too. We bought a whole bunch of Eddie Bauer and Van Heusen stuff that way.

I have some J. Crew that I've had for almost 10 years that are great. Otherwise Levi's since there aren't any J. Crews around here.

Oh wait.

Express has taken over and gayified structure.

Damn.

I WANT STRUCTURE BACK.

GO TO SEARS, they bought the name. Except the clothes are very similar in style to Express Men's clothes, just half the price.

OK, now I'm picturing chicks in high school in the 80's - the ones who had to jump up and down and use a jack hammer to get into their jeans.

Getting confirmation from the Mrs...... yup Wranglers were big then. :)

Those were either Jordache or Vidall Sasoon jeans IIRC...and they used pliers to pull up the zipper...at least that's what they wore/did in my middle school in the early 80's...

They bought the NAME. I liked Structure beacuse of the clothes they sold, not the name brand.

Why? Its a gay man's store...and gay men like to see each other's crotches.

Jealous? Their clothes suck ass now. I wear plenty of nice clothes, hence I used to shop at Structure all the time. Now their clothes are horrible.

By recommendation of Maxim, I bought Mavis... haven't owned any other brand since. You can find them on sale occassionally at around 35-45bucks, but not easy to find. I tried Diesels... not worth the extra $$ at all over Mavis. Didn't like Polos that much. didn't fit me right.

I'm a fan of Lee Dungaree's. I pick them up at an outlet mall for anywhere from $7-$20 a piece.

They last forever and are very comfortable. Every pair of Levi's I've bought got holes at the top corners of the back pockets within a year or two of use.

Sorry they ruined your nerd look. At least you still have your old stone washed jeans, tshirts with the stripe at the chest, and sneakers.

Here's how it works. If your jeans taper as they go down, you look like an engineering major, and it's not doing you any service. The whole "men have to dress ugly" thing came and went with the 90s. Get with the times.

Structure sucks and always sucked, unless you were into looking like aStifler.

I personally prefer Lucky/Mavi/Diesel in no particular order. I found one pair of Express jeans that I actually liked.

Nautica make excellent jeans, very durable and look good, I try and pick them up on sale for $30 or so.

Calvin Klein jeans are crap IMHO, I've had a few pairs over the years and they wear out and fall apart in no time. I refuse to buy them anymore.
