Levi, Lee, Wrangler, Other?

[Andrew Longman]

For whatever reason I have worn Levi's my entire life. Just was my definition of jeans I guess, or just a habit.

Well, the last four pair of Levis I bought all wore too quickly and had belt loops fall off and the like.

So I decide to make the switch and I buy ONE pair of Lees, just to try them out. Surprise to me, by my wife is in disgust. She calls them the "Chevy of Jeans". She also said something about how she prefers my butt in Levis but I won't repeat that.

What say you? What is a proper pair of jeans?

[KLang]

I've been wearing Lee for many years because they fit my skinny ass the best. :p

I do think though that Levi = jeans in our culture.

[rosawendel]

remember this jingle?

le-huh-he-hu-he-vi's haw haw
le-huh-he-hu-he-vi's haw haw
le-he-huh-he-he-HE-he-he-huh-he
le-he-huh-he-HE-li's

I just bought a couple of pair of Arizona Jeans. JcPenny store brand? Anyway, as a lifelong Levi wearer, these looked to be the same as 560's but they're not. The loose fit are too long. The relaxed fit will do but they are not the same.

I have one pair of Lee's. My wife says my a$$ looks a mile wide. I think it has something to do with the rear pocket placement.

[ferrarigod]

i would say wrangler are the nascar of jeans. lee is the irl.

levi is just the standard classic, but anyone my age doesn't own 1 pair. Wear whatever you like. My brother has worn Gap jeans for 15 years and he loves them.

I just wear shorts. When I wear jeans though, I think I only have structure ones. Which says how often I wear them, cause structure changed to express for men about 3 years ago and I probably haven't bought a new pair since.

[rabbit]

I used to wear Levis all the time, until my wife bought me a pair of Eddie Bauer jeans. Now they're all I buy.

Now I do. And it may be the reason I've worn Levis since I was about that kid's age.:gomer:

[KaBoom21]

Old Navy jeans have been treating me right for about 5 years now.

It blows my mind to hear what the hipsters are out there paying for denim.

[Ankf00]

Paper Denim, Mavi, AG, Diesel, Lucky. If you're feeling spendy Rock & Republic or 575.

This helps you in no way whatsoever :p

[Ankf00]

I think it has something to do with the rear pocket placement. I think it has to do with your gluteus maximus:gomer:

[KLang]

It blows my mind to hear what the hipsters are out there paying for denim.

Would those be the ones with the crotch down at their knees? One fashion trend I will never understand. :shakehead The cops must like it though. ;)

[Wheel-Nut]

I think it has to do with your gluteus maximus:gomer:

You could be right!

[KaBoom21]

Would those be the ones with the crotch down at their knees?

Nah, think hipster, not hip-hop. Black-rimmed glasses, asymmetrical haircut and $230 jeans. :eek:

[rosawendel]

i've been wearing levis since junior high school. only difference now is that i have to order them online. i'm too tall and not girthy enough to buy "off the rack" anymore.

[Ankf00]

Nordstrom's the shiz, yo. :)

Discounted jeans from Nordstrom Rack also rock. :thumbup:

[dando]

Levi's. :thumbup:

Next question: boxers or briefs? :gomer:

-Kevin

[Gangrel]

Well, you know...Levi Strauss did after all INVENT jeans...


(I've been wearing Lee and off-brand jeans for years without incident ;) )

[Insomniac]

Do they still make Guess? jeans? Those were what the cool kids wore when I was in junior high. I personally have always worn Levis, but haven't bought a pair in a long time (over 5 years).

[extramundane]

Sassoons, dude. :thumbup:

[Dr. Corkski]

Levi's. :thumbup:

Next question: boxers or briefs? :gomer:

-KevinCommando FTW.

[coolhand]

I am sure other jeans are just as good but with Levi's i know I am getting the right fit each time. They keep their styles or Numbers for years.

[Ankf00]

Neiman's Last Call is also great for picking up nice jeans. You strike me as a Mavi kind of guy, Mr. Longman.

And definitely commando, when the jeans are comfortable enough, no need for anything extraneous.

[cameraman]

LL Bean. Good fitting, well made and not that expensive.
Plus you don't have to go to a mall.

Land's End if you don't mind being un-:cool:

[rabbit]

Plus you don't have to go to a mall.
:thumbup: That is a huge selling point for me. Few regular stores carry my size. And Big&Tall stores sell crap clothes. I haven't bought a pair of jeans off the rack in five or six years.

[Don Quixote]

Costco. No, really. :gomer:

[nrc]

Levis mostly. Had some Arizona that weren't bad. Found some nice ones at the Eddie Bauer outlet store also.

[Sean O'Gorman]

Umm, whatever isn't popular. So Wrangler and whatever.

[Wheel-Nut]

You're not from Texas. :gomer:

[chop456]

560's for the last 20 years or so. :tony:

[Rob]

Relaxed fit Levi's 550. Same thing for about 15 years now.

[Ankf00]

You're not from Texas. :gomer:

:laugh: so much for his "I'm not like the rest of the hillbillies from Parma" :rofl:


Sean, seriously, hit up urban outfitters and grab you some Paper Denim if you're too po' for some Rock & Republics from Nordstroms. :gomer:

[WickerBill]

Levis and a few Old Navy painter. Use the tool pocket for my phone. Miss it when I'm wearing Levis.

I'm a simple man.

[Warlock!]

Whatever Meijer has on sale for less than $20 the weekend after I blitz a hole in the crotch of an existing pair.

Just checked out of curiosity... Levi's

[Audi_A4]

I have been wearing Replay Blue Jeans for years, always like them http://www.replaybluejeans.com/en/ I recently bought a pair at Banana Republic they fit great as well.

Why?????

I can't tell the difference between brands, and I have $15 or $20 pairs of jeans that can go years without needing to be replaced. Once they are faded I just use them whenever I'm autocrossing or working on the MR2 or whatever.

[Hard Driver]

Usually Levis

Maybe I should get a stripped pair like these from the 70's:
