Decent pants?

So, I looked at my floods today and decided i need some new jeans, went to the mall and decided, I dont need them that bad. Anyone know where I can get some good European jeans? I got a good pair of K-Swiss, but of course nobody sells them in Bakersfield. American made are out, Levis are all Mexico, and everything else i see is guatemala, phillipines, malaysia, china, etc. Turns out a 5 year old kid cant make jeans that fit my very well. Not to mention you see some of these styles, all torn or frayed or faded or wrinkled etc,etc, etc. Any suggestions?

I like Lucky jeans quite a bit, but they are a bit pricey. I think they are around $100, but you can often find them on sale. They're made in America, if that's what you're looking for. They're high quality and because they're expensive treat the customers well. A pair of mine got a rip when they were 1.5 years old and they exchanged them no questions asked for a brand new pair.

Yeah with the dress pants, i have no problem, that stuffs custom from a guy in Thailand, or I buy something and take it to a tailor I know.
Thanks for the Lucky brand jeans, I'm checking it out right now.

I second that advice. Lucky Jeans are by FAR my favorites... Worth every penny. They fit me perfectly, and are quite comfortable.

Usually $100-140 in stores, but you can find them on eBay for less... Yes, you might end up with a pair that doesn't fit right... in which case you just turn right around and re-sell them on eBay. I've done it a number of times. They are popular jeans, so selling them for what I paid for them has never been a problem.

Diesel also make some nice jeans, if you get past all of the weird styles that they have and find the "normal" ones. They can be VERY pricey, however... Lucky Jeans are usually a better deal.

I buy most of my jeans at Banana Republic. They go for around 80-90 bucks which isn't that bad. It's better than the 150 dollar **** jeans my girlfriend used to buy.

Here is a pair of Banana Republic jeans being modeled by me

My friend (girl) was telling me to get against the wall and show my ass for the pic. It does look weird without my face being there since I cut it out.

"...not that there's anything wrong with that...."

I say this thread is 3 degrees more gay than the "cat" thread.

Still waiting for the "Which side do you wear your .... on? " thread.
WHen I see that one I close up shop.

I like chepo pants...

I shop at savers, and can get a pair of used, but good condition jeans for like $5... If they're used, and not tattered, i say they're pretty good... I snag any up that say made in USA.


$100 on a pair of PANTS??????? They include a blowjob with that price, right? Chripes, that's 2/3 of my weekly paycheck... Damn... lotso cash for some jeans

Once you have worn your first pair of $100+ jeans, you'll understand.

It has nothing to do with being "brand-conscious"....

The fit and comfort of a well-tailored pair of jeans makes a HUGE difference.

I buy $5 thrift-store/eBay t-shirts all the time... I don't spend much on shoes either. I'm wearing a $35 pair of Converse sneakers right now...

But I'll spend $150 on a very nice pair of jeans without any remorse. Totally worth it.

Mike
