T J Hughes still sell those Wrangler jeans.
Yes, they have plenty of Wrangler jeans at £40 or less.
They also have Lee jeans and is much thicker in materials. I would buy Lee instead but they don't have my side..
If “Japanese Selvedge” actually means made in Japan it could be true for just the fabric production
I believe that’s the case - when denim jeans became really popular in the 70’s, the looms that produced selvedge denim couldn’t keep up, so new looms that produced double-width cloth were introduced and the old looms sold to Japan where it became a niche product. The denim is woven on the old looms, then shipped out to where production is a lot cheaper than it would be in Japan, they just don’t do mass-produced clothing.
Tj will be your advisor if you need to match with a leather jacket.
I just warn out a pair of Edwin Ed-80 and they’ve been discontinued, so have bought three pairs of unworn ones of eBay, averaging about £80each. They’re called slim fit, but they just seem like normal jeans to me.
Levi 502 for me. Stretchy but lasted 2 years so far no real sign of wear. Shape is OK and most important they are comfortable. Had a few more expensive brands over the years but the priority is comfort and these fit the bill.
