Old Navy or American Eagle for every day BS jeans.

They start out as every day jeans then progress to outside yard work jeans. After that they become garage only jeans.

Agreed. It's especially tough to find decent jeans since I have a 36" inseam, so the "Austyn Long Inseam" style is all I wear now.

My oldest pair is ~18 years old and other than the material getting a bit thin in the seat, they've weathered the years just fine and the dyes have faded to a nice patina. As mentioned, you can find them for well under $100 at Amazon, Nordstrom Rack, etc.

As long as the design isn't too trendy and won't come and go with the season, I see no problem with spending $$$ on jeans though because a good pair will last almost forever.

I usually get Uniqlo jeans lately. They have high quality selvage Japanese denim and they're usually not expensive - about $50 a pair. Plus, they will tailor the length to whatever you like for free in store. Great for in-between lengths like 31", 33.5" length etc. You get a custom tailored jean for the price of off the shelf!

Arizona Carpenter that are no longer made for me. I always watch ebay for my size or close & buy when I can. I have some I still need to have a tailor take in. None of the other decent priced jeans feel right & I am not the guy to pay $75+ for a pair of jeans...

Tried different ones from Lucky to Levi’s to 7 and went with Paige exclusively for the last few years. You can snatch a pair anywhere from $50-99 at Nordstrom/Rack. I bought 2 pairs during the anniversary sale this past summer for $99 each (they’re normally $200 a pair).

Love Paige.

Nordstrom has the best jeans FOR ME. They always have the latest styles and brands. I hate the flash too because I frequently wear them with a sport coat. The best ones so far are Graduate Slim Straight Leg Jeans. Simple clean lines. Snug thru the thighs and calves like I like them. They're a bit on the high side as far as jeans go - $200.00 pr. But the look real good and feel good too.

Here's a link: https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ag-grad...&color=bundled

Now, all that said, I still wear slim fits Levi's for working around the house, working on cars, etc. I love my Levi's. Been wearing since I was 5!

Break dancing...man, I haven't heard that name in years. I remember when that was hot topic. I used to watch kids on the street. They'd throw down a piece of vinyl flooring and crank their booms...always a crowd.

All I buy and wear: JOE'S and 7 For All Mankind

Thank me later.

Definitely checking this out. This is exactly why I started this thread.

You had me at selvage Japanese denim.

I was waiting for you to chime in sir.

When I was a wee lad, Turbo and Ozone were my hero's. I actually had that VHS tape of Vin Diesel teaching you how to break dance.

I would recommend 7 for all mankind, but I'll say they're not what they were 5 years ago. I've been strictly wearing these since 2003 and when they started introducing the newer cuts (slimmer) is when it started going down hill. Back then they had only 2 fits, bootcut & relaxed. Now they're all pretty much slim which I hate. I just bought 6 new pairs just for work and they are not at all the same as the older stuff. The sizing is way off and the cut is horrible. The back pockets are a lot larger now to accommodate brick phones again. I bought them just for work, so I don't really care. I have separate clothes for work and personal. I was lucky to buy a bunch of the older fits a few years back. I've got like 25 pairs, so they should last me a long ass time.

The comment about quality of Old Navy, etc vs designer jeans. There's a big difference between the 2.

T-shirt, jeans and a 458! I'd say that is a great look!

That is just too funny! Street cool was big thing, though. You should save that clip and show your future grandchildren. See what gramps did when he was a kid...

Guess I'm the outlier. Selvedge and raw. Levi's are fine, but I prefer Rogue Territory and Railcar, unless I'm going for Japanese, and then it's Oni or Samurai.

[SakhirM4]

Rustler jeans by Wrangler from Wal-Mart for me. $15 per pair

Hey N_J...

This might be a good look for you...

Yes, this seems like a good advice on a BMW forum.

[RickFLM4]

Levi's 550 or 560. Also have some Lucky Brand that fit well and my wife prefers me to wear when we go out. She hates the Levi's.

I would suggest that those who can spend $300 on jeans may have a better understanding of money and how to acquire it than you. Lol. I like AG.

I can't agree more. My biggest issue is my build (I'm 5' 10" @ 180#) I am not going to be wearing skinny jeans anytime soon and it seems that all jeans are geared towards this now. Very frustrating. It's getting harder and harder to find a pair of comfortable nice looking jeans that don't have the "look at me" shit on the back pockets without being skinny jeans.

As for the quality comment, you are exactly right! I've had some Old Navy jeans that met the looks category but the fit was not where it needs to be nor the quality. The difference between Old Navy jeans and some Japanese selvage is night and day. The guy in Nashville that makes custom jeans swears that his jeans will last you the rest of your life.

I prefer to keep the skin on my knees. I only make this comment because I remember these shits when I was a kid. I couldn't bend my legs in them.
