[Closed] New jeans time ..... Help.

Mine are made from organically sourced cotton, woven in a shed on Dartmoor, then cut to panel shapes with an artisan axe before being stitched together with wefted unicorn pubes by people with beards. Men and women. Obviously.

If you have a regular bikers shape, Gap 1969 straight or slim are the way forward

Has Sir considered chinos?

I live in my Swrve jeans.
Cordura, bit of stretch, nice & comfy.

for daily wear don't care if the knees wear out, Next slim fit with stretch.

Very similar cut to my Edwin ED55's but lighter weight denim and of course, with stretchiness for cake based misdemeanours

Filter Diesel jeans on MandM direct.

Edwin Ed55's are a good cut and normally on sale lots of places.

Cheers Flash but unless they have had a vegan friendly faux leather tag branded with an iron heated on a wood burning stove I feel they may be too mainstream.

@ Jamie ..... I'm not at that point yet.

@ Lee ...... Will have a look now

Thanks all, keep 'em coming

May I just say, with pride.

I bought some M&S jeans, with stretch, this Christmas. 😳

There. I. Am. Old. 😐

But they are so comfy.... 😳

Same. I have these: http://www.next.co.uk/g5030002s2#981200

I have some nice black DC slim ones as well, but currently too porky to put them on without my legs looking like too badly stuffed sausages.

Levi 501 CT, great cut and none of the baggyness of the origional 501.

I went to GAP today and got a pair that fitted nicely and looked good for £15 in the sale

One the years through trial and error i've just gravitated to Levi. You can't beat them for a price/performance point. I wear then regularly so surprised if you've worn through your crotch in only a year! I get a good few years out of a pair of Levi's before they get consigned to general 'jobs around the house' jeans.

Uniqlo do a whole range, waist size is usually one up from what you usually take, I usually take a 32/34, with Uniqlo I take a 34/34.
Prices are good, even their Japan selvedge denim is pretty cheap, about £38/pair.
Route One jeans are good too, they do two pairs for £49, in various fits and types of denim.

How old are you? over 25 stop wearing jeans. Wearing jeans when you are older than make you look like clerkson

I had this issue. Normal waist. (33 measured so a 34) Big legs (muscle honest) and i had to go up a waist size to fit. Spent days trying on jeans and just couldnt get one to fit that wasnt mega baggy or needed so tightened by a belt that it was uncomfy. Then i tried on 501s. Bought 3 pairs....

It really doesn't, Teej.

Jeans are fine when you get a bit older. It's really more to do with the footwear. At 35, you can't get away with trainers; you should be wearing them with some decent leather shoes.

Smart shoes. Check.

Imagine being that rich, and dressing that badly...

Primark?

Next are fine and Primark do some reasonable jeans at disposable prices, particularly in a more skinny fit. Look fine with shoes or trainers. Trainers look good on any age of man, it just requires the right trainer. Nike air max and baggy bleached jeans on a mature gentleman screams "formerly of wormwood scrubs".

That Cowell has tiny feet and a big head - weird combo; very unstable, I would imagine.

Tesco cargo trousers, pockets to carry bike spares and a tenner a pair.

At 35, you can't get away with trainers; you should be wearing them with some decent leather shoes.

Thankfully that only last 12 months and strangers won't know you're 35 anyway.

Stick to your advice on Ouija boards you're almost better at that.

leather shoes with trainers - you look like a dork

Just get your wife, girlfriend, partner, Mum to buy them like most blokes.

Mix of Fat Face jeans and 501's.

Costco sell 501's at a bargain price of less then £30 IIRC

Nudie have got a sale on at the moment, some good discounts. Grim Tim for me are a nice straight leg but not too skinny fit. Had some nice black and grey numbers last time i looked. Got a pair that were half price this week. I know, for £50 you could get 5 pairs of Tesco jeans.....

Another vote for uniqlo.

Carhartt make nice stuff and there's usually a sale on their website.

Looking for skinny but not "your sisters jeans" skinny and black/grey oh and in the sale would be goo

Levi 511. Fairly skinny, compared to 501, and available in a massive range of colours and washes.

I would go with Uniqlo. For the price you can't beat the Kaihara Japanese denim. It should last a long time as an everyday pair of jeans. The trick is working out which jeans on their site use this fabric.

+1 for 501, worth the extra ££

Oh I just adore a "what jeans" thread.

It's not the jeans that bother me, it's the folks that think there is some sort of regime and format for wearing them.

Wear what fits, looks nice on you and provided you give at least 2mins thought as to what you wear them with, you'll be fine.
Buy what someone else bought you and you just might as well live near TJ and polish your helmet with him.

Levi 511 is my go to. Work well for my tall, long legged frame.
The H&M slim cut are OK too, though the denim is not great quality. Cheap though and fine for an every day jean.

Yes Gok, of course they do.

Now someone's getting a little confused.

Edwin ED-55 Regular Tapered

As above Levi 511 work for me.

What a ridiculous statement to make, did you read that in a fashion magazine? Think for yourself man.

Uniqlo - free adjustments for if you can't find the correct leg length off the shelf.

I'm clearly doing this wrong as I am:

1) still wearing jeans

&

2) Mostly wearing jeans with trainers.

Gulp.

Off to talk to these two:

Thanks again of the suggestions.

Will check out the Edwins.

Edwin ED-55 Regular Tapered

Yes, this, but IDK if £50+ is 'everyday jeans' territory - you can get them cheaper if you don't care about the colour or if you're an odd size (basically skinny) - seems like getting a decent 34 or 36 waist pair will then set you back a bit more than the suck-you-in prices advertised on the web.

The Next slim fits are to my eye a very similar cut, with the advantage of being stretch and about 1/3 the price. So not devastating when you wear the crotch out or get a load of suspension oil down them.

Gotta ask - how do you wear out the crotch of jeans in a year? Genuinely curious.

I have a couple of pairs of ED-55's and a couple of Uniqlo's and they are on par quality wise (if you get Uniqlo's Kaihara denim). You would be doing well not to pay double the price for the Edwin's.

Uniqlo +1, i wanted some selvedge and tried uniqlos. Anyway, almost daily wearing for 2 months they are wearing in nicely. 40 quid, mine are 2 sizes bigger....i expect them to shrink a bit in the wash.

Nudie for me. Decent quality, not too spendy and available in loads of cuts and finishes. Let their website guide you.

I have a couple of pairs of Uniqlo selvedge jeans bought after recommendation on the last one of these threads. They're OK, my main complaint with them is that the skinny cut is not skinny at all, definitely more a slim cut (same complaint with Gap Skinny cut and Levis 511 too). They don't shrink in the wash either, the denim stretches back really quickly.

Otherwise Topman stretch skinny for everyday, cheapish throwaway skinny jeans for the average man (they do a spray on skinny for the rakes) which last well and are actually a decent skinny fit.

after a few years of cheap Matalan ones, my wife treated me with a trip to the Levi store sale last week. I was impressed with how helpful the assistant was in relation to what model for cyclist shape and within 10 minutes exited same shop with 2 pairs of 511's for under £90

Oh, and over 50 here too 🙂

Well, yeah, cos you'd be wearing odd shoes.

The wait is over ......

I've gone with some Levi's® Skate 511 jeans.

@Aphex_2K - no idea .... they always go there 😳

After years of badly fitting jeans, I have ended up with Patagonia Performance straight jeans. They actually fit me, are really comfortable, the perfect length and are almost impeccably eco-snobby (organic cotton, fairtrade stiching... 🙄 ). Bit expensive, but they were in a sale..
