I know you've said you tried UniQlo - but did you try their EZY jean. It's their comfiest ever pair. Unbelievevable, they seem to be £14.90 at the moment so I'm going to reorder spares.

OK, ignore yourself and read this smile

I've never bought a pair of jeans that were uncomfortable. I may have tried on some, but not bought. Even Japanese jeans that are cardboard soon soften in.

You get different types of jeans buyers. You get people like yourself who appear to want jogging bottoms, you get people who are denim nerds and will sit in the bath to soften them and what not.

And then you get the mainstream, who just want a pair of jeans that suits their particular figure, and is a design and shade that they like. Like the OP, they are wearing out an about, so looks comes above comfort, as will only be standing or sitting on a chair.

He's completely wrong.

Spend a few months wearing the Uniqlo EZY jean and going back to 100% cotton denim is really tough. My old, previously comfortable jeans feel like cardboard in comparison.

There is a reason the majority of the everyday makes (Diesel, Levis, Wrangler etc) are now offering a comfort/stretch/performance type denim.

Seriously, for anyone in doubt, try these at £14.90 and you'll never ever look back. (limited price, as they've changed the design and these are last of the old stock)

Jeans are supposed to be strong and robust because they were (are) work wear worn casually. The garment in that link is not a pair of jeans it is a pair of sweat pants (aka adult romper suit bottoms) made to look like a pair of jeans

I have several pairs of these M&S jeans in different colours and they are soft, comfortable, stretchy and sufficiently fashionable without looking like an Influencer if you're above 40.

At 45 I'm too old and immobile to be arsed with the hassle of rigid Hawksmill or similar 'high end' heavy/rigid £150+ jeans anymore.

Oh and dad jeans are now fashionable again wink

(but only if you're 20)

well

after 3,000 years ive bought some more. still i cant get the topman jeans ive been wearing as they are perfect fit and dirt cheap.

got some levi 511's - slim fit

was going to get some lighter ones but even though they were the same 511's they seem to show off your crotch more so got some darker ones!

most the jeans i tried - uniglo etc seemed to be soft cloth now not jeans. some were so strectchy they were almost joggers.

picked up some superdry ones that looked good but their changing rooms were shut ( ffs ) so put them back. zara ones seemed too short but again changing rooms were shut so who knows.

skinny gap ones had great fit ( werent that skinny ) but had big white crease marks so looked a bit ste.

i still might try some spoke ones but the levis will do for now to try.

keep refreshing asos site in the hope the topman ons i like come back into stock!

In the days of the wild west fair enough .

However you don't need strong robust work wear to sit on your ass behind a desk .

Ooh - that sounds good. The only thing better for work than a dinosaur onesie is an adult romper suit!

Who doesn't like to romp?

What do you do in your jeans that you need them so comfortable?

Anything!
I find wearing regular jeans quite uncomfortable now. I have a load of American Eagle jeans that are called "flex". They're extremely comfortable.

Try the Hollister Epic flex slim straight fit or tapered, lot's of different colours and sizes available. They usually have some kind of sale / deal on, the denim is light weight, stretchy and comfortable.

They've lasted 18 months so far with not much fade, they do stretch a bit, but usually shrink back after a wash. I prefer these over the Next and M&S offerings for quality, fit and comfort, they are very much like the Lee Daren jeans but maybe better quality, for less than half the cost in the sale etc.

Levi 511’s slim for me. They usually have some decent offers online every now and again.

Gap are ok as well and I’ve a few pairs of Tommy Hilfiger as well.

Exactly.

He's wrong too - they are mainly soft denim, with polyester woven in to make them comfortable. They are completely indistinguishable, and are incomparinly more comfortable for going out for walks, sitting at home, going to a pub, going to work - all the normal everyday things we wear jeans for.

That's a sale item they are getting rid of. Look at the non-sale range for similar.
