Jeans economics

[Boz33]

Diesel jeans, decent fit, nice feel to the denim, I remember my nephew paying £240? For a pair of true religion.

Aye diesels are good too, last ages as well

Levis for over 40 years. Not changing now.

This is the correct answer. Even those of us the other side of mature can wear and look as good as is possible. Can't beat quality!
Depends if you can afford it of course, but quality's always better.

Levis 502s. Someone will be along in a minute to say £80 is too much to spend on jeans.

I have previously had Nudie (absolutely shite) and Edwin (took them back, shite).

Aye but quality doesn't always relate to price or a brand name.

Stopped being into brands when I was 13...

Yes,and I get that,but sometimes you can pay £30 three times as the quality runs out,when £70 once would have been good enough. These days,when nothing is made to last and everything is throwaway,people don't realise the plain economics of it.

Ones I get are usually 90-100 quid, tend to get them when 2 for 100 or 120 mind

Both those are far too expensive

Least Levis you get good quality for the money

Levis are quality though mate.....expensive compared to the cheaper alternatives I know,but,I wouldn't go for the cheaper option. Mind you,I'm acutely aware not everybody can afford to choose.

Whatever happened to geordie jeans?

I'm not sure why you're trying to convince me.

The pool was too narrow and they dyed out.

Not wore jeans in years. The crotch constantly wore out, even with Levis.

I have a similar crotch problem. What trousers do you opt for in autumn/winter?

Love when the warmer weather comes and I can stop wearing jeans.

The world would be odd if jeans were never invented

Morrisons Nutmeg jeans for me. I think they were £14.

Are they (or you) bow legged?

 

[LondonBlackCat]

Neither, unless you're talking about Levi's Vintage selvedge or Levi's Made and Crafted selvedge and even then you'd be better paying a bit more for some decent jeans elsewhere.

Most Levi's are tat these day.

George at Asda school trousers 'Fat Child' range m8.

Nah, I basically have to wear chinos or similar. But i avoid cream or colours like that so as not to look like a middle aged American.

 

[dafunk2]

Either Zara or ASOS own brand jeans for me. Decent quality and fit, and not ridiculously priced.

Probably not enough if you want long lasting hard wearning jeans.
