Jeans

So boring thread I know and we can probably get done in 20 mins.
I have rugby legs and am of medium to large build. 36″ waist 31 inch leg.
Skinny jeans are out of the question.
Please recommend decent brands with good quality denim that look good on a nearly 40 year old.

Marks and Spencers. – seriously.
The ones that are anti-stain. Lighter material than proper denim, which I prefer. Pretty smart, havent worn out, relatively cheap.

I always buy Howies jeans.

Howies size up quite well.

Hiut Denim are my favorites. Obviously more expensive than George by Asda.

You would want the regular fit

Edwin.
think the Nashville ED55 is the most cyclist friendly cut, has a higher rise than hipster skinny jeans the dimensions are listed on the edwin site. has to be the raw selvage version.

howies. end of thread.

Another vote for Howies, they’re expensive (to me anyway) but they last a long time.

I’ve got big legs too, I can only get into thier loose fit jeans, Drover I think they’re called.

Budget? Jeans are a very emotive topic on this forum, a split between the ‘jeans are jeans’ budget buyer and the more discerning buyer.

You mention ‘decent’ so I’ll assume you will spend a bit, loads of fits to choose from. I’ve got a couple of pairs of Nudie’s which are nice and not too expensive. Otherwise as mentioned Edwin, Huit or one of the more mainstream bands like Levis, Lee etc will have something decent to suit.

Another for Howies,also 501’s and Diesel fit my unique body shape(well in my eyes they do)

denim that look good on a nearly 40 year old.

Nope. Not a chance.

4 THOU SHALT NEVER, EVER, WEAR PANTALOONS DE NIMES. When you have progressed beyond fondling girls in the back seats of cinemas, you can stop wearing jeans. Wear fabrics appropriate to your age, and, who knows, you might even get a quick fumble in your box at the opera./[/url]

Jeans are the dullest of the dull in the world of trousering. A sort of uniform for the unimaginative herd, best teamed with something from Superdry with a pointless faux-Japanese logo that actually reads “I blow goats!”.

Disclaimer – I am currently wearing Mountain Khaki cords, and am also a recent convert to Kuhl trews.

Then again, there are moments when one asks oneself, ‘Do trousers matter?’ Thankfully, the mood will pass.

the more discerning buyer.

😆

Edwin relaxed fit are good for those with large thighs. They are tapered so not too baggy at the bottom.

Fat face do some that fit my 36″ waist and 32″ leg and that I can get my arse and thighs in and that you don’t have to be showing your bloody underwear like da youff!
I bought mine online in their sale £25 a pair!

Clearly NOT a discerning buyer.

I like Hiut selvedge denim but found some by Universal Works last weekend, Portuguese selvedge denim, made in the UK. Great price and a great fit on me anyway.

Volcom.

I find skate jeans to be cut well, flexible and hard wearing over the high street bands. And decent stuff can be had for less than £40 from Route One, Rollersnakes et al. But then again, I used to skate more than ride so a slim fit feels great to me whilst a regular feels positively baggy 😀

Ande Whall, Tellerson, ROY, Momotaro, Studio D’artisan. Anything else is a bit plebeian.

Marco polo,linea or Boss for me – u gotta feel good an a pair of jeans right…

Nothing looks more tragic than a bloke in his 40s trying too hard with his denim – The worst offense being designer indigo with a dress shirt – The best advice my Dad ever gave me is stay away from denim after a certain age .. A cruel paradox I know but the better the jeans the more conspicuously trendy they’ll appear on oldies ..

Hilfiger jeans in house of fraser are half price and fit normal legs well.

Please see my previous post! (Unless you’re not being serious!)

I have to disagree on the denim on over 40’s good well cut selvage denim is way better than a pair of crappy beige chino’s from Gap. Agreed if you are still using hair gel, visit a tanning salon and wear pre-aged denim with superfluous pockets and stitching then that’s very tragic.

Re the comment up there about the back row of a cinema? That made me chuckle as I had a cuddle in an art house cinema watching a ‘european’ film on a second date last night 😉 I’m over 40 and was wearing a crisp pair of Albam straight cut.

That greyfoxblog says nowt. I’m over 60 and still wear 501s. I’m skinny though.

Can you still get Tesco Tearaways?

I’m over 40

By more than ten years surely?

Wear what you want.

Flashy’s hurricane of social insecurity is enough to demonstrate that, surely?

Exactly. The way some of you go on you should be right at home on the ‘comfortable shoes’ thread.

wtf is “selvedge”? Does it involve posh sinking ships?

By more than ten years surely?

No. 3

As already mentioned Edwin Ed55. If you have a look on brown bag clothing they sometimes have good deals on. I just got a pair of selvedge ones for £40.

CFH trying to look down wid da kidz.

Edit.
Thank **** for that nearly had an image posting problem that would have made me look as daft as them red troosers. 🙂

seriously… if you’re not buying your jeans from a charity shop, then you’re very much on the narcissistic metrosexual fashion victim end of the spectrum

I’d given up on jeans, and then I tried some Rohan jeans. Excellent fit and good quality.

34″ waist, 32 leg, so +1 for Fat Face, also Boden (and I’m not from the SE).
Do not EVER go to Zara, mrsH took ambushed me there, insisted on trying some on, couldn’t get any pair further than the knee, she couldn’t stop laughing all day

It’s all about Prana stretch denim jeans for the well endowed thigh. You can sometimes pick them up at Go Outdoors sometimes.

Loads of different jeans are made with a small percent of lycra so should stretch. Nudie and Uniqlo being two that offer examples.

Wow you can actually buy jeans from a brand called studio d’artisan? 😆

I got Levi’s from TK Maxx recently. Never had any before but I like them. Not sure which model.

Have a look at Gustin, they specify the sizes of the jeans quite extensively and have some great choices in denim, you just need to wait occasionally for what you want/need.
