What's your favorite brand of jeans?

[quote name='PhreQuencYViii']WTF are stretch jeans? I've always wondered that.[/quote]

My Lip Service jeans are 1-2% spandex. They fit like a dream.

[quote name='spidey']Nudie jeans sounds interesting. Gonna have to give them a try.[/quote]

My friend is about 4 months into the "breaking in cycle" with his Nudie's and they're starting to get a little ripe...they look great, though.

I think he got them at Metro Park...check there, if there's one near you.
 
[quote name='zman73']You mention Structure... do you mean the old structure stores that became Express Men (yes I hate that too and never shop there anymore) or the fact that Sears bought the rights to the structure name, and release clothes under that brand today[/QUOTE]

I meant Structure in that they are now called Express Men. Never knew Sears bought the rights to the name, which is surprising to know.

Structure just sounds so much better. Kind of abstract, kind of mysterious, kind of mature/adult sounding. "Express Men" just sounds a little hokey. Hence I still think of the now-called-Express Men-store as Structure.
 
[quote name='dallow']You shop at Express Men Strell?
You're more dallow than me.[/QUOTE]

I really only shop there if a sale is going on, and even then, I don't get much - usually only nice clothing, such as button down shirts and slacks. I won't wear their t-shirts, for example, since they are usually waaaaaaay too trendy and expensive. So I usually only get jeans from there. You really can't beat 3 nice formal shirts for the prices they have when a sale is happening, and their color choice and style is always extremely modern/hip. I need to get some striped shirts one day from there, hopefully.

Their clothing has a much more modern fit that most other men's places in that regard. I.e., their button down shirts are made of lighter, thinner material, so it breathes easier and fits much more sharply. If I go to a place like J. Crew or Foley's or Dillard's (which I don't for these exact reasons), I find that all of their stuff is very much less contemporary - the sort of thing my dad would wear, with very thick fabrics and material.

It's the same with things like sport jackets. Express Men's stuff has a more modern feel, like maybe you'd expect today's equivalent to James Bond to wear. It fits closer to the body and doesn't puff out, with sharper shoulders and generally a fit that's cut better. Everywhere else is stuffy and boring and seems to be made for people who know their job is stuck behind some desk filling out TPS reports. It's just so thick. If I were taller, I probably wouldn't care as much, but all this stuff makes me look so much more squatty than Express Men does.

So I really only reserve them for stuff I consider high quality/formal/professional looks. If I could, I'd wear a t shirt and jeans every day for the rest of my life, substituting shorts here and there (and I'm WAY particular about those).

I'm sure most here would consider me a fashion queen in some respect. I just read it that I have a better grasp on how I look or ought to look or want to look versus all my friends, who tend to be completely clueless. These statements are not meant to sound inflammatory or anything like that - please don't take them as such. My friends just have no taste in clothes. :p
 
We think alike Strell. :)
It's ALL about the material and cut.

I don't mind Express Men, I'll pick up things from there when I have a coupon or there is a sale.
I rarely buy clothes now, but when I do, I'm very particular.

I always pictured Strell looking like his avatar.

Yes, I do look like my avatar. :)
 
[quote name='WeaponX2099']Rocawear, Ecko, Phat farm, Mecca and LRG[/quote]

Same... I like Rocawear the most, Sean John, Ecko, Phat Farm, SouthPole
 
Clearance American Eagle jeans/pants are my favorite. I haven't paid over $18 for a pair, which might still be high, but they have my size of 32 X 36. I am 6'3" and weigh around 150 pounds. It was a pain finding pairs of pants that fit, but now that I have like 3-4 pairs, I won't need anymore.
 
favorite jeans of all-time? The pair of fuct jeans I had in the mid 90's.

Favorite right now? My two pairs of Blind jeans and the Levi jeans. Also wear a lot of cargo/caprenter style jeans as I tend to carry a lot of shit around (mp3 player, cellphone, couple of pens and a fat tip marker).

I have a few pairs of cargo and one pair of carpenter jean/khakis. I know some in this thread were against carpenter jeans for some reason, but I don't mind them. They're still great and comfortable, plus I love them since I can carry a cellphone or Ipod in them (I had a clip, but it broke). They're my old Tommy Hilfigers, still wish I could find a place that sells them.

Also, anyone heard of Buffalo? My costco just got them in.
 
Some of us are against cargo jeans because only carpenters wear them right now... I have one pair from years back that I dont even touch

Bretts/... 6'3" 150 lbs... good grief... I dont feel so slim anymore... I can imagine it being tough to find 32 36 jeans... although 32 at your weight seems like alot

It is. I still can completely take them off even when they are zipped up and buttoned, but they don't look completely ridiculous when I wear a belt. If anyone knows a retailer that sells 32 X 36, let me know please.
