Levi

Have a look on their website the number of colours and styles is extensive.

I find the quality very good on them and seem to wash well.
I would say buy direct from Levi though and not for example TKMaxx as I've bought Levi jeans from TK Maxx before and the quality of the material seems lower.

This again????

Primark. But since that's not permitted right now, Sainsburys or Tesco.

Bought a couple of pairs from Sainsburys last week. Great for £16 each.

Levi's. End thread and all that nonsense.
Seriously, I've worn Levi's for 50 years and although I've tried others, I've always returned to good old Levi's.
Beware of ankle widths. Some are ridiculously narrow.

I wear wrangler, they fit me properly and available online.


Jeans are a bit like shoes, they need to fit.

Can everyone stop asking this question please. Jim Royle has already answered your question on more than one occasion.

To be fair. Sainsburys slim fit jeans are the best fitting and most comfortable jeans I've bought. The first pair was bought in emergency due to coffee spill. And I've had a few more since.

As this is PH most will either suggest Levi, or will now be googling to find the most expensive pair. Which they will then suggest as yhe only ones they wear.

I recommend Secret Circus.....they’re the only ones I ever wear.

Marks and Spencer. I know it's not considered right on and all that but their range is, I have found, remarkably good.

i did do a quick search but you know pistonheads search is ste

I swear by GAP jeans.

Great range of fit and styles and not expensive either. Decent quality denim and some of the fits have a stretch/flex denim which is great.

[moktabe]

Orvis.

Best I've found over the years.

Levi's. But, from America. I don't know what it is but the Levi's I've purchased in America are superior to what we get over here. Also half the price.

When it comes to Jean's, they can't be beaten. They also wash well.

[Evolved]

I wear Jack and Jones now, the fit is bang on for me. Tried loads of brands but as I’m blessed with a shorter leg, only Jack and Jones seem to feel right.

Another vote for the M&S jeans. Comfortable and good value.

I used to buy Levi's until I moved to the UK. £85 for a pair of 501s... You can pick the exact same jeans up in the US for $45..

[Shnozz]

Same as most clothes, the fit is the important part. Seeing as everyone has different body shapes then you need to find what fits you well.

In my case, it’s Jack and Jones jeans.

I'm sure I've seen 501s in Costco for around £50 ??

TBF, I've not been to a Costco

They did a Zoom at work the other day to get people to join... I didn't get to see it as I had actual work to do.

I was going off their web site pricing.

I’d agree with this. Find a cut that you like then look at styles and brands afterwards. I find a tapered fit suits me well. My go to brands are g star (staying away from the try too hard styles) and 7 for all mankind. It all depends upon what you’re looking for and what you’re looking to spend. G star have good sales every so often on their own website along with a discount/clearance site too.

That’s before you start looking at more specialist denims and Japanese selvedge. It gets more complicated the more you look!

I've got 2 pairs of Costco ones at the moment, water resistant and have a lining for the winter. Think they were about £15.
