Jeans economics

[Gillythedilf]

I'm guessing (from the posts) that Wranglers are not what the 'cool' lads and lasses wear?

I’d say Wranglers and Levi’s should and could be mentioned in the same breath .Both decent quality jeans but only worn by old gadgies who wear Adidas samba (worst trainer ever)and think Fred Perry polo shirts are current and cool .

Edwin ed-80 selvedge for me. Never pay full price as somewhere will have a sale on

Charity shops. Last 6 months I've had 501's for £8, Diesel for a fiver & Marlboro for another fiver! Happy days...

Edwin ED55's or Nudie Fearless Freddie's for me. Mind, the Edwins pockets are shite, they disintegrate after a few washes, I've found.

He has a fair point mind. A big name brand very often means good quality but not always.

If you see no value in buying a pair of Levi’s for three times the price of another pair, then that money goes better elsewhere.

Perhaps you disagree mate but I usually buy cheap jeans (though not the bright blue supermarket ones) from New Look, River Island or H&M.

Best pair of jeans I ever had were from H&M.

Of the three Jeans vendors stated they may have been the best one.

Do Pull&Bear not do jeans like?

I’ve had Pull and Bear jeans before, and they were good, but I’ve never seen one of their shops outside of London.

Boss used to do really nice orange tag jeans,the green tag weren't so good.

I’ve got some black orange tag ones, had them about 5 years and they still look good.

I’ve also got two pairs of dsquared that I’ve had about 8 years that I still wear all the time.

Just buy what you want or can afford, I like neither Levi's or George.....

The last few I have purchased have been from GAP or Carhartt, only get the Carhartt's from Northern Threads as they are a good fit for me, gone are the days of paying over the odds for a pair of strides....

Exactly. Too many snobs about judging.

What does this mean then?

I always preferred wrangler's to Levi's back in the day, better cut ( for me anyway).

Meaning it’s a rare occasion I shop there

It would require locating, travelling to and browsing inside a Tkmax store.

I'd pay more than £40 to not have to do that.

Ok give me £40 I’ll get myself some jeans.

I actually have no concept of this “good fit” malarkey. If they cover your legs and you can get them fastened, and they don’t rip when you squat, that’s good enough. It must be for people with weedy skinny legs , not big muscular ones.

Not too tight around the nads.

New Look is a girls shop marra.

My thighs are much too fat for lasses jeans.

New Look have a men’s section like. Not a great one either, but sometimes alright stuff.
