going by the prevalence of people shopping at Next i presumed a supermarket really was the next sartorial step.
😆 that's more like it
Republic White Label have been a bit of a find for me. cheap, hardwearing and approved by fashion-conscious Mrs Clubber.

Paying more than £50 for a pair of jeans is simply not worth it IMO other than paying for the brand.
Denim is one of those things worth spending a bit more. Avoid the made in China rubbish and the non-specialist labels (Next, Diesel, Gap etc). Nudie jeans strike a good balance between quality (made in Italy I think) and price. Hiut look interesting but I'll be trying Roy next (thanks for the tip MrSmith).

Nope, still not worth paying more. I have seen fake ones that easily outlast any of your non-specialist labels in the far east.
In fact when I was a teen fake jeans from far east was so tough I couldn't get the faded looks so had to cut it to get the look. I can remember the Texan brand that was so tough and the colour never fade that it pissed me off because I prefered the Levi faded look. The faded look was the in thing then ...
Now I just want jeans that last ... and with external pocket(rectangular patch pocket). Scroll down the link page for details ...

Second the Uniqlo Japan Denim jeans, although the sizing is a bit iffy; I had to get 34" waist instead of 32" like I usually do. Lovely dark denim, though.
Wrangler Texas jeans seem pretty good.
I found Uniqlo come up a bit small as well. I just wear Next or Burtons jeans, they're cheap and last me long enough.
Carhartt. Bought some new ones 2 years ago though my old ones are still going strong.
I've got 4 pairs of jeans. 3 Edwin's and 1 nudie. They were all over 100 quid, but they last. My oldest pair is 8 years old, the youngest is about 5 and they show no signs of giving up on me yet. Buy real selvedge, take the money hit once, wash them sparingly and you'll have that pair of jeans for years and years.

well the best selvedge denim comes from the 'far east' Okinawa in japan to be precise.
it's not about if it's a 'fashion' label it's about the denim fabric used (and to a certain extent the use of decent thread and chain stitching).
your link sells edwin and acme, manufacturers of high quality denim.
if you don't desire to pay for quality then uniqlo for VFM, their selvedge is a bit on the thin side though.
Over the years I have bought a lot of diesel jeans as I like the fit of them. However they do not last too long (and I don't use or abuse them) so I'd go for something more industrial if I was you
Edwin here too - wait for the sales at 50% off the £120+ price tag for selvedge denim. Don't forget your turn-up too to show the selvedge bit off 8) Uniqlo I've also heard are cracking for the cash and look at Albam...
