First time I've seen it. Just happened to see the email saying a one day only clearance sale. Got the jeans on final clearance, $31, then 60% off of that...so actually $12.40 a pair. Had pretty much all sizes. Mine are the athletic jeans. They also had tons of dress pants for about the same price too. Best advice I can give is sign up for emails. Oh and I got free shipping since I spent over $100.

That was 60% off, if I was a baller I would have bought the $590 pair that wasn't on sale. I have Ralph Lauren jeans that are well over 15 years old. Jeans to me are an investment, buy the right pair and they will last forever if they are taken care of.

Not forever. I have some $20 Arziona jeans that are 10 or so years old, but they all eventually develop holes.

Holes shmoles...I just bought a pair of jeans that were destroyed and repaired before they were even purchased. Patch that shit up and keep rocking them. The more dated/holes the cooler you are. [IMG]undefined[/IMG]

Not a fan of the overly pre-distressed look, but RRL's on sale are some of the best jean bargains out there. Ralph really goes all out with his jeans from that brand, and since they do so much volume, they end up putting so much stuff on clearance that none of the other "artisan" (kind of hate this word) brands do in that kind of volume.

How's the fit, though? That wide straight leg might give you a dad jeans look if it's too wide for your legs

Again - yes, $500 jeans are overpriced, but they are no different from buying a Rolex when a Seiko will do just fine. It all depends on what kind of shit you like wasting your money on.

They aren't here yet, will be delivered tomorrow. They will be going to the seamstress the day after. Most of my jeans get altered as soon as I get them. I'm 5' 10" 185# with a 28" inseam.

The rip & repair jeans that I just bought are Ralph Lauren too, but they aren't RRL, they are Denim & Supply. D&S is to RRL what Chaps is to Polo in my opinion, but since the D&S brand is no more, they are becoming difficult to find with tags still on them and people are snatching them up like crazy. The D&S pair that I just bought are slim, first pair of slim jeans that I've worn since I was a wee lad. I don't rock the skinny jeans, I don't have the build for it and not sure that I would if I did. The slim fit are ok, but I still prefer a little more room in the legs. From what I gather in the realm of RRL is that each style of jeans that he designs are one offs. They make X quantity of that style and no more. Once they get down to only a few pair of odd sizes left, they drop the bottom out of the price to liquidate inventory for new styles. I check the RRL site about once or twice a month and their styles only change about once a year, but once that style/wash is gone, it won't be back; part of the reason for the demand in a well made pair of jeans.

As for "Dad Jeans" I've come to realize it isn't so much what you wear as how you wear it. I'm 42 and still catch young girls checking me out. I also dress for me, not for everyone else. I wear what's comfortable and looks good, I could give a fuck about fashion. When women stop wearing jeans that look like shit my mother wore in the early 80's that come all the way up to their ribs, I'll be more concerned about what they think of what I have on. In all fairness, most women making "Dad jeans" comments can't afford the jeans I buy so their opinions mean nothing. BTW, "Dad Jeans" are a thing now. That's the thing with fashion, you pick the most awful looking trend and that's what sells.

I actually mean something specific when i say dad jeans - they're jeans with that shapeless look particularly around the ass, loose leg, usually with extra material pooled around the ankle. For extra dad cred, wear with a black dress belt

Saying it a different way, those jeans will only look great if they fit great. I guess you'll see when you get them.

RRL is made to a much higher standard than Polo. Think more of a casual Purple Label. At that price i might have gambled on a pair or two if they had a more normal, less distressed wash

A more casual Purple Label is spot on. I tend to not throw such verbiage around as most have no idea what I'm talking about. "Ralph Lauren only makes Polo" I'm not sure I've ever seen a non-distressed RRL anything other than some of their vintage "Dandy-esque" style stuff. Although the right person could very well pull that style off i.e. heavily distressed denim and a button up with a vest and tie.

As for the fit, I try to go with a tapered leg. and don't like all the extra material at the bottom however in some instances it's needed. much of it depends on the shoes being worn. Boot cut with all that material + trainers or dress shoes is a no no. I do have certain jeans that I only wear when I need to wear work boots.

Same as mom jeans it seems. Man, women should stop wearing those.

Alright, so after the dad jeans comment made earlier I have scoured the internet in discovery of the definition of dad jeans. My findings are that if you have jeans that aren't skinny jeans or raw denim, you are wearing dad jeans. Old school Lee's, Wranglers or anything made in the late 80's or early 90's I can agree with but some of images I saw of dad jeans are nothing that I would consider dad jeans. I saw websites stating not to wear dad jeans, then I saw other sites stating dad jeans are cool because they are the opposite of what people say not to wear.

This brings me to my epiphany of the day. Gentleman, and ladies, wear whatever you are comfortable in. Don't allow other people to give you a hard time based off what you wear. There are jeans that I would not be caught wearing unless the circumstance was dire but to hear people on fashion websites call people morons or low-class because they wear whiskered, loose/comfortable, relaxed, tapered or a certain wash is just ridiculous. Yes some jeans are in fashion, some are not, some are comfortable and some are not; regardless wear what you like and what you are comfortable in and screw what everyone else thinks about them.

Resurrecting this thread.

This past weekend one of my Paige jeans lost its threading at the seam where the butt crack is. Thinking about replacing them with another pair of Paige since all my jeans are made by them and I like them a lot. However, thinking maybe I should give another brand a try. I’ve heard good things about AG and Joe’s. Anyone have those?

[lsturbointeg]

i'm actually liking the American Eagle jeans

[Nivarox]

I used to have two Dolce & Gabbana jeans . Those were fantastic but in long run it proved to be not as durable as humble Levi's .
Ted Lapidus and Mustang are what I use .I like stripes under the front pockets .Not only do they make a contrast but also render a very striking design as well

[hooligan_G01]

Still sticking with GAP over here.

I like their cuts and their denim is actually quite nice for the price point. Levis is regaining some shine to their brand, as well. Haven't tried any of their new stuff, however.

[M5Rick]

Wrangler stretch are fine for me and comfortable, not impressed with overpriced Levi's.
