finding the right jeans?!
 
this is my extremly metrosexual question. i can never find the right jeans. im a dude about 6'1 and i want tight fitting jeans that are dark and low rise, but not expensive, no more then about $50. anybody know of good jeans? i like this look, but they are kinda expensive: http://www.universalgear.com/product.asp?prodid=11146

Personally, i think Express for men makes the best jeans. However, for a budget, american eagle is good too.

50 for express

30 for AE

I would also recommend Structure (express for men). They make really great jeans for a reasonable amount, and I know they carry a 'tall' size, so that should fit you well.

beats me.. I have a 32 length and a 29 waist... just FINDING jeans that fit me is tough enough.. then to find brand names? HAH!... thats funny. :D

Hehe, even that link didn't have my size. :) You'd say, "just go 32x30, just stretch it a little".. and my response.. I already am.. I'm a skinny little fucker... except now I'm tall too.. hehe

Have you considered Land's End custom work? Only $54, and you pick from 10 colors, 2 fits, 3 rises, 2 pockets, 2 leg tapers, waist in 1/2 inch intervals, inseam in 1/4 inch intervals. My wife is considering this, anyone have experience with the quality?

Express and Gap i prefer.

Yeahh, but they can be crap. I've had a few pairs from ON that have worn out within a year.

Stare At The Sun 02-26-2004 12:52 PM

^^Indeed Old Navy is crap quality. Remember...you get what you pay for.

Cynthetiq 02-26-2004 12:56 PM

i buy levis when they are on sale.

The answer is, "don't wear jeans"

I hate jeans. I always get myself the cargo pants made out of the really different feeling material. It feels kinda water proof (but isn't) and they're really sturdy.

Besides, I always use the pockets.

I really like AE and Aeropostale jeans. They are both of good quality and reasonably priced.

AfterBurn 02-28-2004 07:31 PM

Tommy hilfiger or ralph lauren is good, theyre a little pricey though

gak, just wear shorts :P

If they have them where you are - shop at urban outfitters. Pants are usually $54 and fit great. They sell great vintage-esque clothing and they also have a great housewares section. Shop online at urbanoutfitters.com

However you'll probably have to spend a bit more if you want great pants. DKNY are by far the best pants with great cuts and lengths - just a bit more expensive.

There's also Diesel, Armani Exchange, and Aeropostale. All have great clothes but the latter is the cheapest.

I've always had the same problem as the original poster... I'm a thin and tall type of guy, and I much prefer more "fitted" jeans than looser/baggier. American Eagle is pretty good, but I think I'll check into Express next... Hopefully someday I will find the World's Greatest Fitting Pair of Jeans!

Jesus Pimp 02-29-2004 10:30 AM

I used to have trouble finding jeans in my size but then I grew some more out of nowhere and now I don't have any problems. Now shirts, is a different story. It's hard to find good shirts!

Phaenx 02-29-2004 01:20 PM

I got a nice pair of jeans from Target recently for about 20 bucks, physical science I think the brand is. They feel nice, fit well.

runawayfetus 02-29-2004 03:04 PM

just let your mom pick them out for you...

Jeff 02-29-2004 07:32 PM

I'll give another vote to Structure jeans, Ralph Laurens are nice too.

Bleed Me Dry 02-29-2004 08:09 PM

I'm a girl and I have really long legs. The only jeans that I can ever find to fit me are good old Levi's...pick your waist, pick your length. They're also relatively tight and not expensive.

FeeJss 02-29-2004 10:08 PM

Express or American Eagle. The express ones kinda cost a lot so wait for a sale.

BoomTruck 03-01-2004 06:53 AM

Carhartt seem to work for me.

Some styles of Levis fit rather well, but I quit buying them when Levi Strauss & Co decided to quit selling their jeans in truckstops because they wanted more 'upscale' clientele.

VitaminH 03-01-2004 08:45 AM

I'm going to have to vote American Eagle as well. It's about the only place I get jeans anymore, they last long, look good and are nice and comfy. I've got a friend who buys AE jeans to sleep in...but he's a little crazy.

Scabs the Clown 03-01-2004 10:32 AM

I guess it doesn't help you out Deadmemory because I don't think we're looking for the same pants but I get my jeans at Sam's for $12-$13. All I'm looking for is basic and they last me 2-3 years so it works for me. I can't imagine spending $50 on a pair of blue jeans. They are just not that important to me.
