I hate shopping for blue jeans

But Wenders, you can find inexpensive shoes that look good. Cheap men's shoes look bad.

Surprised there's not more love for Arizona Jean Company. An old girlfriend got me a couple pairs when I was like 18 and I loved them. They're a little pricier, so after me and said girlfriend broke up, I would usually get them from my Mom for Christmas. This year, I specifically asked my sister to get me a pair (she did).

I haven't worn them a lot lately, b/c I porked the fuck out from about 2005-2007 and would end up buying cheap Target jeans on the road when I was in desperate need of pants. Do that for a few years and suddenly you have a whole new wardrobe. I'll be back to Arizona Jean Co. when I'm back down to a 34 waist.

 

Might have to do some poking around Lexington for some Luckys. I'm sure they have to have an outlet or something around here somewhere.

 

Old Navy's almost always a good option. Cheap, pretty good quality, nothing too fancy on them and they're durable.

 

I go the Wal-Mart route. For $15, I have a 50-50 shot of getting a pair of jeans that is the actual size shown on the label, or getting a pair whose button won't pop off.

 

Maybe I'm off here, but this has worked for me since Bugle Boy stopped making the most comfortable jeans ever, and selling them for $15 a pair at their outlet stores (yes, those were Bugle Boy jeans I was wearing):

Kohl's sells a brand called Urban Pipeline. They're around $20-$25 a pair, but they consistenly go on sale for $12-$13. They have a variety of fits -- I like the relaxed. Good brand, very good price when on sale, and they fit good, IMO.

 

If you go to Nordstrom or Saks or one of those higher end stores that's the lower end price, even for men's jeans.

 

Some Macy's stores sell Lucky brand jeans, I believe. Also Costco, believe it or not.

 

I've always been a Levi guy. In today's world throw on a cashmere v sweater and jacket and you can go anywhere in your Levis. For a change up I go with Levi carpenters.

Moddy - what is big difference between Lucky and Levi besides price?

Best price for Levis in Northeast - Bobs. Catch a sale and you hit $25.

Anyone looking for dress pants go to Banks but only buy on sale. Every couple of months they run 2 for 1 sale on their top end wool dress slacks. You can grab 2 pairs with tailoring for around $125.
