which mens jeans

[LordGrover]

Levi's 511 'selvege' stretch are a great option for those who like a little more comfort for daily wear.



Levi's Made & Crafted

I wear them for work (office based) and keep my proper Hiut SlimR for going out. Hiut's took a while to wear in, but it's worth it (if you happen to fit).

I ordered a pair of the UniQlo jeans linked above.
Nice waist fit, great length however I'm fked if I'm going to spend 1 second of my time walking about looking like Max Wall. Gave to my daughter who refused them.
Oh well the charity shop can have them.
I think I'll stick to my canvas jeans from Hebtroco.

Im 39 and love Uniqlo jeans. Loads of different cuts, selvedge ones are excellent, and at £35 quid a pair you cant complain.

Spoke is my go-to as I'm too tall for 'off the rack' jeans and to small for the "Big and Tall" sizes. I've been very impressed with Spoke - i've had about 6 pairs of various trousers, jeans and cords from them. They are well made, nicely cut, hold there shape and almost made to measure.

There do have 1st time user offers and other promos on a regular basis. They were having 'Dad's jeans amnesty' the other month - you send in a pair of your old M&S type jeans to a discount off a new pair from Spoke.

Interesting. I'm very short in the leg so might take a look. I've found semi-skinny jeans are my saviour!

The Jil Sander "+J" ones they did over 10 years ago were very good, mine are still going strong.

I've owned two pairs of those EZY jeans for a year or so now they're great for bumming around the house working from home whilst being presentable enough to pop to a corner shop. But they definitely lean heavily towards the jogger end of the jeans spectrum and I'd not wear them to the pub or office. Banana republic rapid movement jeans are much better if comfort jeans is what someone is after and they do pass the pub test (but they're also 3 times the price).

Well if you remember Max Wall then youre not really the target demographic for UniQlo surely

Do Japanese people know Max Wall?

I didn’t even know who he was until I went to Google

I have always struggled to find jeans and trousers that fit me well. tried a pair of Spoke a couple of years ago after reading a recommendation on here.

I measured carefully as per the instructions, but the biggest Spoke fit at the time, for supposedly athletic men, were still too small around the thigh.

I need generous fit and go up a waist size. I have suit trousers altered.

With other legwear I now wear an elasticated belt -which has been a revelation!

I love the jeans snobs on here .

Fair play if your a proper signed up member of the selvedge hard core , wearing your jeans in and hardly washing them but most on here buy purely on just the label .

I’m never convinced even about that on this place anymore. All this “powerfully build director” crap has lead to a few people on this website sitting in their pants living with their mum in a council house saying they own, buy, drink really expensive exclusive stuff when it’s all bullst. When there were lots of PH events most people were just normal lads. I always thought it would be funny if people had to wear their PH names clearly on display that would have really flushed out a few of the fantasists.

My view? Buy what you like and what you comfortable in. Just like anything else you buy you’re buying it for yourself not anyone else

Exactly , fit is king .

You could be slim and look good in primarks finest , you could be some fat fker and your still going to look like a fat fker no matter what brand you've squeezed yourself into or how much you paid.

I remember back in the 90s, when Evisu jeans were cool, they were a loose fit. I saw a fat middle-aged woman wearing a pair skin tight. I think she thought she looked great, in reality she had only managed to squeeze her enormous arse into them because they were designed large.

What's snobby about saying at my age I can't walk about in jeans that look like they have been sprayed on.
Yes I do own a couple of pairs of expensive jeans and yes they do fit me to my liking and here's the big one, I can afford them.
I don't know what selvedge means (a lie because I looked it up) and wash them every few weeks.

[Castrol for a knave]

£35 GAP jeans - only take them off to wash them. Covered in clicks on the front where the cat runs up my leg to sit on my shoulder.

Super comfy and look alright. I'm a 30 in 30 leg, with typical Hoy like sprinter's thighs and arse, so getting jeans to fit is a nightmare.

Much as I like the Hebtroco stuff (I own a Ragley so get the connection) and other artisan stuff, I couldn't pay £200 for pants made out of the platted nose hairs of Patagonian free trade virgins.

These uniqlo jeans that are causing all the drama , clearly you haven't actually looked what they actually are.. certainly not skinny fit .

My whole point is what you can afford doesn't always equal the best fit .

Slim fit.
I have a pair of Next slim fit jeans that I wear a lot as they don't make me look like Wayne Sleep, with a bit of a pot belly, on the opening night of Swan fking Lake.

[Unexpected Item In The Bagging Area]

I just thought I’d bump this thread to recommend Crew Clothing Company jeans. I’ve had a pair for a couple of years now which are wearing well and have recently bought two more. They’re great quality and although the range is limited in terms of fit and colours I reckon they have something to suit the average 30+ year-old bloke, ie. your typical PHer!

Great value too at £70ish at full price, or around £50 at the moment.

[roger.mellie]

How far outside the bell curve do you have to get to be unable to find a pair of jeans that fit in almost any high street store?

If you don’t care what they look like just go to primark, if you do then you’re probably better off buying from a company that specialises in denim than one who attempts to be an everything to everyman brand as you’ll have a lot more choices in cuts and weights but that can very quickly start getting expensive. For the same reason I’d rather buy shoes from Northampton than some designer brand, but if I want a pair of cheap knockabouts I won’t care what logo is on them as long as they look ok. Although admittedly when it comes to trainers I prefer three stripes to a swoosh and I can be fussy about the tartan lining used in my Harrington’s so I’m slightly full of st.

Slightly off target here but these look great

I have always struggled. I'm of average height and a lean ~80/81Kg. I've just measured myself at 32" waist (genuine, not under a belly), 25" thigh, 17" calf (relaxed). Even "Spoke" jeans in athletic/generous fit(?) were too tight around the legs for me.

The fashion for skinny and very skinny jeans didn't help.

Any leg length above 34" will do it, coupled with the thighs of a track cyclist and you are stuffed. The most often repeated line in jeans shops being "we do make them in that length but they sell out really quickly......"
