I recently discovered that Unlimited Blue on 17th has a great section for guys in the back.

Depends what type you're looking for and how much you wanna spend. Broklyn, Holt, and Henry have some great styles. But you're looking at $200+

Just bought some at Henry Singer. I prefer them to my GAP jeans.

Henry has a great boxing day sale, if you are willing to line up and push a little.... If I were you I would just find out a size that fits you and order them online for half the price

Mark's Work Wearhouse.

Just normal nice jeans, nothing fancy, nothing too "gay". Mastodon Approved.

Don't laugh, but check out the Bay. Seriously. They always have these sales going on and I've gotten some perfectly decent pairs of Buffalo jeans there for like $40, you CAN'T beat that.

Also check out Winners, they often get shipments of designer labels like diesel, etc for a fraction of the price

I can't bring myself to pay more than 50-60 dollars for a pair of jeans, and even that is a stretch.. I prefer dress pants/khaki's/dickies anyways.. If I ever pay $200 for a pair of jeans is the day I kick my own a**.

I usually just wait until a store has some on sale or something like that.... All jeans look the same to me for the most part....

I can easily justify it. Riding my motorcycle destroys my $50 GAP jeans in no time, while I got a pair of ~$80 Nautica jeans that show no signs of wear from the same use. Considering replacement costs, GAP or similar quality, inexpensive jeans are a rip-off.

I can't find expensive jeans that I like... they don't seem to fit properly. So I usually get some cheaper ones that are easy to find and easy to fit.

Thats a tough question, cause everyone has a different definition of "good" jeans.

To me, I buy Tommy Hilfiger (on sale they're about $60, regular price $85)... I think those are good jeans because they look nice, are of good quality and fit me the way I'd like. I can't say the same about other brands, but I haven't really tried them all... just Gap, CK and Buffalo before deciding on Hilfiger as my ideal jean. Others might say they are garbage and like a totally different brand.

I think what you have to do is set aside a day (probably after christmas/boxing day) and just try a whole bunch of different brands and fits.

I'm with you. Hilfiger are the ones that I buy as well. They are very comfortable and look very good too for an affordable price.

Well clearly that is a different situation. Also those jeans are only $20 more than what I said i would pay so not really a big difference. I am talking about $200 jeans.

If you're looking for durability, you can't beat Wranglers (the ones from Lammles not Wal-Mart). They last forever and come in under $60...usually under $50.

Add another vote for Tommy Hilfiger. Virtually half of my clothes are from them.
