I should have realized it earlier in the thread. You are joking, right?
Please tell me you are. Please?
I still wear jeans from the juniors department because they're a better fit, comfortable and more cost effective 
And it's not like I can't afford nice jeans either... I just don't see the point of spending more than I have to on a pair of jeans unless I plan on making the pair of jeans a family heirloom and handing it down to my future children.

I personally purchase Express jeans... they seem to fit me the best, and are most comfortable... me being skinny and tall, it's always tough finding good fitting clothes... I have one pair of jeans from Armani Jeans, and while they look much nicer and the denim feels nicer than my Express jeans, they are quite a bit more uncomfortable, and I will only wear when it's necessary.
based on throwing around Japanese, Selvage loom and Nudie, I think you fawn over hott jeans just like me. Cheers bro.
express jeans suck. They have nothing on their pockets and the denim is very stretchy, being 100% cotton... There is something wrong with that...

tossers go to those kinds of shops. its pretty vulgar to spend that much on clothes
made in china...well its not like they had master craftsmen cranking out jeans from europe or wherever, ttheir wages just cost more, doesn't really translate to better workmanship for something simple as jeans. its all made in china now, levi's moved to china. its just how much markup you can get a sucker to pay for basically the same set of pants.

I got one pair of jeans from them. Not bad, but I find better at other places. To be honest, I don't like the designs of Armani Exchange for things like sweaters and all. I like D&G and all that. I've never bought a Diesel pair.
Back on topic...
I think AX sucks, but it's not really due to any fault of their own. It's the customers who think they look cool all decked out in everything AX that makes it suck. These posers think because it says "Armani" on it, that it's somehow exclusive and upscale, yet the entire reason AX exists is because Giorgio Armani wanted to make a more "budget" line than his normal stuff. These idiots feel the need to have garish logos splashed on every shirt they buy from AX, but when you actually look at the high end Armani lines, there is no text or large logos, at most you will see the embroidered eagle on the shirt, or nothing at all, which is similar to most higher end "luxury" brands.
Armani Exchange =/= Emporio Armani
I wish these people would get it through their heads.

This cat fight thread is hilarious.
I wear Old Navy and Gap jeans and they're fine with me. I like that they stretch over time. Jeans were meant to be loose and comfortable.
But if you like $300 jeans, and that's what makes you feel comfortable and relaxed, so be it. Just don't be a snob and tell other people what they're preferences are.

Actually, I wear cheaper jeans (BR). I guess I spend too much time around fashionistas and picked up on some stuff.
honestly i added a pair of Starbury Jeans (from Steve and Barry's) for $15.00 I added it into the repertoire, they're a solid investment.
My repertoire is usually consisted of Marithe+Francois Girbaud, Gap (Only time I shop at gap is for jeans...), and DKNY... those three fit me best. And I have a stipulation that 60 is the limit for jeans.
That said... I'm very happy with the Starbury's

This is a hilarious thread. I'm almost sad to see that men have resorted to arguing about how their jeans look. The metrosexual movement has performed a disservice for men everywhere, imo. No longer can we simply be comfortable; no, we have to have $200 jeans with the proper knit, style, and esoteric off-shore brand sewed by the deft hands of Asian or European craftsman.
Anyway, I think those Nudie jeans look ridiculous. Half of the pictures on that MyNudies site show people wearing jeans that are probably a solid 2" longer than they should be. What's with the cuff. That might pass for emo 20 year olds, but what about professional people that need a nice clean pair of jeans that they can wear with a jacket and not look like they stepped out of some silly catalog?
For what it's worth, I spend ~$100 for my jeans. I buy from Banana Republic. I do so because they feel good, look clean enough to wear with a nice jacket and shoes, and they fit me well.

I don't think this is true. If you have real style no one who isn't a douche-bag is gonna look down on you. If you think you're the ****** because you don't spend money on your clothes even though you look extremely generic and boring. Or if you think wearing overpriced ripped jeans with pockets that were shat on will get you noticed ("OMG, he's wearing Seven's"). Or if you just read about Japanese denim in GQ so it's now cool, even though it doesn't match the rest of your wardrobe (torn A/X logo shirts and hoodies over blazers), you might get looked down on.
Some people don't care much about fashion, or what jeans they're wearing, and that's fine. However, If you think you're better than people that do, then you need to STFU.
Some people like pre-distressed clothes, and it's just a matter of taste. If you think having recognizable pockets makes you cool, then you are a douche-bag. Sorry, it's true.
Some people like APC (they're $140 BTW), Nudies (They're more expensive, but Nudies are extremely overpriced. For the money you might as well get real Japanese denim), and even higher up are the Japanese jeans (which aren't much more expensive than any other premium denim, prices are between usually $200 and $300).
Also, raw denim is much cheaper in the long term if you wear it like it's intended, every day. One pair of $300 jeans is just as expensive as 6 pairs of $50 jeans.
Also, CasioTech, without Levi's there would be no jeans, period. Their current jeans aren't the most exciting, but they do some nice repros of older jeans (check out their LVC line) and the washes they have in Japan are actually pretty nice. Nicer than a lot of "Premium" companies, in my opinion. Point is, if you have any interest in Japanese denim or selvage, then you have to respect Levi's.
I bet you "pop" your collar as well... :roll:
For 2-3 pairs of your jeans, I could replace my entire wardrobe.
