Dario33 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Diesel are my staple denim brand...never pay more than $100 for a pair though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Just bought a pair from a Japanese store called Uniqlo, i think they are in the Uk and USA as well Total $40! Great jeans for the price, so called uniqlo premium jeans. Boy do i love shopping in Japan! Uniqlo is awesome but the only one in the U.S. is in SoHo, NYC. Not too far from Canal Street actually.

rek001 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 3 pages about jeans and caryall bags, can you tell it's CNY? Too funny. Anyway, my criteria for jeans: must be button fly, nice dark denim and cost no more than $36. Neil, brilliant suggestion for a bag - the photographer's bag. Classic, elegant, functional, well designed. I need a new bag for work commute and that's what I'm going to get. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Wow, I've been waiting for someone Stateside to Mention Express, but it must be a Secret....I think, for their price, they're one of the best made (fit/material/worksmanship/design) jeans sold in the US.....I've got about a dozen of them......and counting....... I own other brands, but Express gives me a better fit! http://www.expressfashion.com/products.jsp...d=47&ppp=18 To go with your jeans and your PAMs on a Fri. business meeting, check this out: http://www.coach.com/content/product.aspx?...category_id=537 Check the Camel color if you have one of those unique color strap on your PAM!

Xyphis Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 My expensive designer jeans/shirts/jackets all come from specialty shops called "Salvation Army" and "Goodwill". It's amazing what you can find: New, Left at expensive dry cleaners, etc. BUT, you need a rather big urban environment to get the new "Zegna" shirt or the in box "Bruno Magli" shoes. But I'm a bit weird. Others I'm sure prefer to do it the easy way with a few hundred dollars in their pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llsteve80 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Wow, I woke up today with a message that my phone has been found! It was stuck in some chicks couch since Friday night. Of course I already bought a new one, but this is good. I will get it tomorrow. Thank goodness I don't have to try to figure out all of my contact info again, get a sim card, and get the new phone unlocked. (I bought an 8310 with gps instead of 8320 with wi-fi calling) The money pit of these jeans has become a bit shallower, now I think they only cost me.... 116+200(bb pearl)+20(pen)+8(smokes)=344 not including lighters and change. They still suck though. I'll be stopping back at Nordstroms this weekend to find something better. Oh ya, when I bought them, I thought they were dark blue, but got home and noticed they were faded black--DUH. That should have been a sign right there.

Guest asad Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) WOW, LOL I guess i joined the party in perfect time! YES you will get Raped in AZ wearing those. Just to say; I wear Banana Republic since they are the only ones who can custom Taylor jeans to fit me perfect for $90. Does any one know, what other manufacturers make a 31W x 27L Jeans?

That's why I don't wear them. I always wondered why they were extra reinforced in the seat region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Definately about fit and finish, denim quality before brand name. My current favorite pair is a pair of relaxed fit Seven For All Mankind. I've got a few pairs of Diesel, but find they are a bit too heavy. I prefer a thinner lightweight denim. The japanese denim that Paper& Denim use is nice and I have a few pairs. I also have a nice pair of Energie that is lightwieght with a nice finish. I also have a few pairs of Ernest Sewn as well and a couple pairs of vintage reconstructed Levi's. My wife calls them the rock star jeans, but I think they look more like Dwight Yoakam.

If you prefer lightweight denim, check out Carhartt. I bought a pair last year and when I'm off duty, those things are the comfortable jeans I've ever worn.

I would not mind sending it to you, we have a Carhartt warehouse here. Edited February 12, 2008 by asad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I've got my eye on the Louis Vuitton messenger bag, but I need to save my pennies first I was thinking about that as well actually TeeJay.

Victoria Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Rrrrr. It's not the price of the jeans, it's the motion of the ocean. Or something. Okay, I have been hunting around for cheap designer jeans. I have 3 pair only, so I don't need them. But you may! http://www.abcloseouts.com/UsedBlueJeans.html This is actually in Miami...they sell old Levi's for $5.00 each. Yipes. And: http://www.freagair.com/jeans/ This is a buy and sell online site for really cheap designer jeans. Just ignore the people campaigning for Ron Paul. Guess there's a conspiracy theory even for jeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I remember my grandma telling me how crazy kids were buying jeans with holes in them back in the 80's--I was pretty shocked since I was a good job putting holes in them myself for free.
