This is what I do. I have tried other brands, but aside from some Evisu in the 90s nothing has worked as well as Levis.

Added to which, when the shops are open, they will do alterations for you free of charge. Even if you've had them for a while.

The shop staff are generally very knowledgeable as well.
had a look at the 511's they look good although £100 seems steep for levis. they actually have too many colours its hard to know which one to get!

thanks for all the suggestions

Another vote here for 7 for all mankind. I`m hardly skinny but their Slimmys are great.
They are comfortable and soft and are all wearing really well.
should hope so at that price!

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!

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.

Slim straight version: https://www.hollisterco.com/shop/uk/p/hollister-ep...
They look really good but hardly have any stock
Like a lot of places frown
