Jeans
 
What kind of jeans do you wear? post pics

Im wanting to buy some new jeans, but i hate most jeans in the store, i wont wear anything with pre fades, and i hate the ones that go small at the bottom.

Trasher02 02.11.2007 05:16 AM

I buy them in the supermarket. Plain jeans without the stupid pre ripped stuff etc.

king_buzzo 02.11.2007 05:22 AM

exactly, pre ripped is shit.

ALIEN ANAL 02.11.2007 05:25 AM

yeh i cant stand the fake stuff. I dont like wearing straight leg jeans because they get smaller at the bottom. I like my jeans to not be baggy, but not emo tight.

in australia try Big W maybe. They have more regular, non-prefaded or ripped jeans. Maybe Jeans West, they have average joe jeans as well.

ALIEN ANAL 02.11.2007 05:38 AM

dont have a Big W where i live, i just want the most regular pair of straight jeans, i want a pair of jeans that look liek 70s jeans, but loose. Does this exist?

king_buzzo 02.11.2007 05:42 AM

ALIEN ANAL 02.11.2007 06:03 AM

I think you want a boot-cut jean.

ALIEN ANAL 02.11.2007 06:28 AM

mm i think i do, but i can not find a single pair of boot cut jeans, that arnt pre faded or ripped, and not regular denim looking and the regular blue.

heavium 02.11.2007 06:47 AM

mostly Meltin' Pot (Meg/Nicole) or Fornarina (Flirt), i like Lee too, bootcut models but also the more narrow fifties like models, don't like the super wide jeans

i need some new jeans, but i hate shopping, especially for clothing..i'd rather spend my money on guitargear :-P

ploesj 02.11.2007 07:28 AM

i wear whatever flatters me, nothing too special (so i'll keep liking it).. i never find jeans that really fit me right though, they're always too long or wide, and a size smaller is too tight.

 


this used to be my favourite pair until it got ripped at the back and i couldn't wear it to school anymore.. decorated it with flowers then.

Prisstina 02.11.2007 09:43 AM

As gross as it is, I LOVE American Eagle jeans.


 



I also love Unionbay stretch jeans, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. I'm not incredibly picky, but I can't stand GLO jeans (hate the butt-pocket design), jeans that are baggy in the crotch, and whatever brands don't come in a short. Jeans are too long for me unless they're a short or petite.

atari 2600 02.11.2007 10:20 AM

DKNY Jeans are probably the best. Their "City Jeans" line has the best cut on the men's jean retail market and are available in many designer fades and shades of hue. They are also the most comfortable with the softest denim. The DKNY fabric is thinner than Levi's though, so they're not as good as Levi's(when worn only by themselves) for that reason during the winter or perhaps as work clothes for some occupations.
They are made in Indonesia, but that is preferable to them being made in China or South Africa, as Indonesia has a somewhat more ethical apparel industry comparatively.

schizophrenicroom 02.11.2007 10:24 AM

i have this dark-rinsed pair from american eagle that fit me perfectly. i usually just go there because they have almost every size (i fit into three different sizes) in a long.

atari 2600 02.11.2007 10:31 AM

I had this pair of gray cargo pants that I enjoyed for years that were American Eagle Outfitters brand. I don't know what happened to those.
Are their clothes made in USA?

Aéropostale is another lower-cost brand making headway. It started as a proprietary line in Macy's stores.

Danny Himself 02.11.2007 10:34 AM

I don't know where I got my jeans but they're damn good.

lucyrulesok 02.11.2007 10:48 AM

Well, I like Levi's, and if you go into their shop you can usually get unfaded jeans if you ask. My current jeans are from gap and they are just plain ol' bootcut too... but it's a bitch to find plain jeans, i agree.

LittlePuppetBoy 02.11.2007 11:04 AM

whatever jeans there are (I don't care)

ALIEN ANAL 02.11.2007 11:29 AM

i want pictures of people in their jeans.
Heres me:
 

king_buzzo 02.11.2007 11:32 AM

whore! i want that shirt.

ALIEN ANAL 02.11.2007 11:40 AM

i would to if i didnt have one, for anyone else that has one, is the material really thin and stretchy?

noumenal 02.11.2007 11:58 AM

I've always liked Mavi jeans for some reason.

compulsive diarrhea, jico 02.11.2007 12:03 PM

Who, me? I like certain jeans because they fit nice and are comfy. Trust me. No one one ever mistake me for a metrosexual in real life. I am a fucking slob and a half.

i'm pretty sure so.

aéropostale had "sunday" playing when i walked in once. they have some cute things, but otherwise they're kind of boring. their jeans don't fit me very well.

jon boy 02.11.2007 12:13 PM

when buyimng jeans i dont like the bootcut ones and avouid at all costs ones with fashionand tears in them. i swear it was easier to get better jeans when i was a kid.

i always laughed on guys that wear this kind of pants:

 


i dont know how you call them

the ikara cult 02.11.2007 02:49 PM

I have a pair of.....
SUBBUTEO JEANS!!
They actually make these, they were 90% off, £4.20.

lungfish 02.11.2007 03:06 PM

uniqlo skinny fit jeans
h&m sliq fit jeans
lee jeans
all-son jeans
etc

val-holla-ing 02.11.2007 04:13 PM

i only have 1 pair of decent fitting jeans right now. they're a pair of skinny jeans from the gap.

atari 2600 02.11.2007 04:24 PM

The only things I ever have gotten from The Gap are colored pocket T-shirts.

So, My favorite jeans are Donna Karan City Jeans and Levi Strauss boot cut jeans.
And I'm real sorry to get Lethrneck4's hopes up too haha.

Those Arizona Jeans from JC Penney are rugged like American Eagles or Levi's. They look like hell when you first buy them, but I have a pair of black ones (medium grey now) that have lasted forever. I should dye those black again sometime.

When I was a kid, my parents dressed me in only Levi's, Lee, or Wrangler. By the time high school came around in the '80s, the designer jeans thing was the big craze, so I had Jordache, Sergio Valente, Polo, Calvin Klein, etc. It was all straight-leg shit too, with the crotch and seat cut extremely tight, even on boy's jeans.

I forget when it was, but I thnk it was the late '80s-early '90s-ish that saw the thankfully short-lived (for most people) acid-washed and stonewashed fads.

Then, the jeans got bigger per West coast trends (skater/hip-hop) and brands like Hilfiger, Mecca and JNCO became (& still are) the cool thing. Nautilus has started making their jeans like these.

Now, the trend is for jeans that are severely broken-in and aged beforehand. And the latest trend is for the shiny knees hehe. The current DKNY line sort of embraces this, but doesn't go nutso with it. The stitching is patterned after Levi's (with a 5-pocket design), even more than most other brands. And damn, they are really comfortable. If you're like me, and haven't bought any new pairs of jeans in awhile, do yourself a favor and get some of these.

val-holla-ing 02.11.2007 04:49 PM

how much did those DKNY jeans go for?

atari 2600 02.11.2007 04:52 PM

They are around seventy bucks a pair I think; I got two pair at T.J. Maxx for $29 each about a month ago though. One has a part on it that looks like a razor blade cut into it and the other had some threads that were loose in a couple of spots. Minor imperfections, as these are, after all, jeans.

Oh, I just looked them up...they are actually called "City-Fit" Jeans. It's been awhile since I threw the tags away. I also found some on the net for fifty each. http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&langId=-1&storeId=301&productId=500753471&N=1107771+201080 4&searchUrl=%2Fendeca%2FEndecaStartServlet%3FN%3D1 107771%2B2010804&R=MJ-041
You can't tell much about the real texture of these from this picture, (even usuing the zoom) unfortunately.





 





 








 


And this site only offers a regular "indigo" color. These come in lots of color variations, which is why I was enticed to buy two pairs. One concern about buying clothing on the internet, is getting the right size. These days, it's as if each maunfacturer invents their own sizing, so use caution.

If you have a local T.J. Maxx outlet, I would just go there and see what they have left. I went after Christmas, when the prices were rock bottom. I mean, if you go looking for a new pair of jeans, you're going to pay a little more or a little less than twenty no matter where you go, so why not pay an extra ten for some nice ones?

Norma J 02.11.2007 05:46 PM

Straight leg jeans are the way to go. Tighter too, if possible.

king_buzzo 02.11.2007 05:52 PM

i buy longer jeans because lengh 36 is too short and 38 is too long, so i buy the 38.

Well, then, Donna has a pair for you as well called her "Brooklyn" line. Haha

The thing is, like many of you here I suspect, I have disdain for buying clothes and shopping, in general. I was dragged into a T.J. Maxx by my girlfriend and she said I needed new jeans. And so I bought some. The point is, I wouldn't be writing about this unless I was extremely satisfied with the purchase. Despite all that I've written, I can't tell you just how happy I am with the pants. I am (obviously) crazy about these jeans, but maybe just crazy haha you don't know me hehee.

In other consumer reports-related news, I just got some Heineken Light for the first time. Hmmm, why did I buy watered-down Heineken? I wanted to see if it tasted more like Becks (that other green bottle German lager), I think. Heineken itself tastes like a spicier version of Becks with more of a bite, but it also tastes like a flat Becks, if that makes any sense. Well, I suppose I won't be able to discern the difference after I have a couple more.

EMMAh 02.11.2007 06:05 PM

These are my pants, I sew their legs straight but not so they look all scene. I was wearing skinny jeans before all them anyway.
 

 

Sorry for the size.

Norma J 02.11.2007 06:22 PM

I don't care whether I look look scene or not anymore. I used to get the shits if I saw people wearing the same clothes as me, now too many do to care. I'm not going to stop wearing cardigans etc just because it's now cool to shop at op-shops (thrift I think they call it in the states?). If I like what I wear I'll wear it whether others do or not.

These motherfuckers will feel like a pair you've owned for five years the very first time you wash them and put them on.
