AG, 7’s or Joe’s are all good. Buy from Off 5th or Nordstrom Rack and prices are much more reasonable but fit, quality and appearance are better than your average mass merchant Levi’s or Gap/Old Navy. And if the inseam is too long, get em tailored. Nothing worse than ill fitting bad denim jeans.

I've had good luck with bonobos. Sized like they say and comfortable. I wear jeans everyday to an office setting. Now have a few pairs of blue, some grey and tan. Not too pricey and have broken in well.

the only thing i would tell the buyers of fashion brands like 7 and AG is, you're not paying for better quality over GAP and Uniqlo. that's fine if you are buying for other reasons like fit or style, but i'm just saying. the only fashion brand that makes great quality jeans that i've seen is Dior Homme, but they're like $400-600.

of the Japanese selvedge brands, my faves are Flat Head and Sugarcane.
I beg to differ. My AG jeans are significantly softer and the fabric mix (ie with more lycra) makes them much more comfortable to wear. That's not taking into account the fit, which is noticeably better than any fast retail jean. FWIW, I don't think I paid over $150 for my AG Graduates.

I wouldn't say my body is ideal at this point but it will be soon. Just got a gym membership and stoked about getting tone and shedding some fat this winter. Once this is underway, new tattoos are coming next.

These are the jeans that I currently have my eyes on. They will be discontinued soon and I will begin to scour the internet for them cheap.

I like how their website is set up. I may end up with a pair of these. Shopping them now.

New clothes, a gym membership, some new tats. I smell a mid-life crisis coming on. When do you leave us for the Corvette forum?

BTW, I turn 44 this month, bought a new pair of jeans last week, got some more work done on my tattoo sleeve yesterday, and am counting down the days till I can get back in the gym next week once the tat heals over. Right there with ya, man!

Man, I've been paying an exuberant amount of child support for the past 10 years and that ended about 2 weeks ago. I've spent most of my life trying to take care of and please everyone else, I'm glad to say it's finally my turn. Not married, kids are grown, house is paid for and now my future is finally mine.

I've been wanting to get some new ink for years but couldn't justify it financially...until now. Going with black and grey sleeves on both arms. I was a tattoo artist years ago so I'm already fairly heavily tatt'd but that was years ago and most of them need some love or to be covered up.

I don't see it as a midlife crisis as much as I see it as rising from my ashes.

e cineribus resurrexit is actually a phrase I'll have tatt'd on me somewhere and will probably be the first. I also want to incorporate a pawn chess piece with a crown on it.

I've already informed the girlfriend that if I start shopping for corvettes to call for an intervention and take me directly to a BMW dealership.

If it wasn't for my love handles and moobies, I would be skinny.

I was pretty skinny most of my life but the past few years battling PTSD and other depression issues, I've packed on some weight.

Fu*k Yeah! That's not a mid-life crisis by any means, that's a mid-life party. Good for you!!!!

When I got divorced from my first wife my buddies threw me a bachelor party. I think it's important to celebrate moving on to the next phase of one's life. Sounds like you are doing exactly that. Good on ya.

Post up a some pics of the fresh ink once you get it done. I don't think I've seen a tattoo thread on here, at least not in the last few years. Maybe I'll start one in a week once mine has healed up.

I think a tattoo thread is most definitely in order.

When I wore a suit and tie to work every day, I had a great relationship with my local dry cleaner, however; at no point did taking my jeans to them ever cross my mind. On a rare occasion I will see someone with creases in their jeans and I think to myself how do people even deal with them.

AFAIK hand-wash is the generally recommended way of washing jeans. Yet as my manufacturer approves machine wash I would give it a try if I had one.

$300 jeans are the same as $30 jeans? That's some great logic right there! Just like a $30 leather belt is the same as a $700 Hermes belt.

I like these jeans.



Best jeans to rave and shuffle in

I wondered when jnco's would make it into this thread. I won't lie, I had several pair of these back in the 90'sb not quite the size of these. I think the biggest I owned were some 32" fatboys. I would also like to mention the quality of jnco's was actually kinda impressive.

Not to sound like a douche but I love the way True Religion fits and how comfortable they are but haven’t been wearing them since I got the M because the back pocket buttons scratch the seat when you get in and out.

Amiri is the most comfortable pair of jeans that I own. Great for stacking if you are into that look

If I was to purchase a pair of jeans, I would purchase a pair of Japanese denim.

https://www.highsnobiety.com/2012/11...ds-best-denim/

Article is a bit old but quality is quality.

YSL is supposed to have high quality jeans as well. I just don't really care to wear jeans all that much anymore. I'd rather pay $15 for some slim fit pants on clearance at Old Navy and use the extra $300 to buy something cool like an Ed Hardy or Affliction shirt.
