I love tight jeans on girls, especially in that area. (Yes I am a pervert) However when I see guys walk into my work with them, I die a little inside, I don't need to see your 1.5" package.

I have never spent a ton of money on jeans. In fact, I went from wearing Levi's as a kid, and then to Tommy Hilfiger's. I find it so hard to shop for myself, so I usually just stick to what I know. I would like to get a nice pair of jeans, but I don't even know where to begin. I've found stuff I like to wear at Winners, so maybe I'll make a trip there.

Oh my god nickerjones, I thought for sure you were a woman! No offence, but you and your wife need some therapy for overshopping, unless you are extremely wealthy! If you have 20,000 to spend on jeans you better have no mortgage and take lots of holidays, IMO! I love nice clothes too, but there is a limit. I can afford nice jeans, but I just like plain old Gap jeans and Men's Levis 501, they are the best 'a$$' jeans in the world for women! I'm only saying you need therapy because you admit yourself it's an addiction!!!!! and a very expensive one at that! NOW..if you are rich, and it doesn't affect you in any way to buy 90 pairs of very expensive jeans, then I do apologize and take my comment back. And Congratulations on your weight loss!! That is a big accomplishment and I'm sure it doesn't help your shopping addiction, because now not only are they beautiful jeans, but they look good too!

It doesn't matter what store I'm in, if I know what size I wear in a particular brand, I will grab a couple on my way to the register, I just can't resist. My favorites get worn, the rest hang in my closet rarely seeing the light of day. I have a couple in my Macys online cart right now, the minute they go on sale, I'm checking out. I can't be helped. I have tried on 350.00 magic jeans and they're amazing, but I would never spend that on jeans.

Why not buy 2 pairs of 350. jeans if they are amazing, and quit buying 2 or 3 crappy jeans every time you go to a store, that end up hanging in your closet? where is the logic?

Buffalo FTW. Get them at the Bay for cheap (like 50 bucks max).

I use to be in the "I don't need nice jeans" camp as many people here are until I got divorced a year a half ago. Now that I am single I do spend quite a bit of money on jeans (just bought some William Rast jeans for 300) and it's totally worth it. Not only do I feel better about myself wearing them, but also it helps when hot girls are always commenting on your nice jeans .

Well when i had the 90 pairs they werent all 200-300 dollar pairs, i think i said i bought some at abercrombie ,american eagle etc..... I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination and yes i have mortgage payments.... as a matter of fact i have 2 ...one for a house im trying to get rid of and one for a condo.... but thats neither here nor there... i pay my bills and then buy jeans ... so no it doesnt affect me and its something i like. It just like people who spend 12000 a year on Flames season tickets.. ( i would do the same) ...... thanks for the congrats on my weight loss 20 more and ill be at my goal....... and i would say the addicition is a destructive one , because if i dont have money i dont buy them on credit cards or anything.... i just buy them when i have the expendible cash to do so

When I buy the cheaper jeans, I think I'll wear them, like to the hockey rink that's filthy or to work. You have to have jeans that you won't care if they get ruined. I always have 3 or 4 cheap jeans in my closet. I don't think my 7's or Taverniti are crappy and I wear those the most often. I got a pair of Old Navy jeans once for cheap and they were totally cute and I wore them all the time. You just never know. I'm not denying I impulse buy, but if you're walking through Nordstroms and there is a pair of beautiful jeans that are sparkly, and they happen to be in your size, you don't leave them in the store.

I used to own about 10-15 pairs of jeans but now that i wear a suit to work everyday I basically have 3/4 pairs.

2 pairs of sevens, and 2 pairs of American Eagle. AE for going to hockey or bumming around and the sevens for going out. To be honest, I'm either in a suit or in sweats so I stopped seeing the value in spending 250 bucks on jeans when I could buy a decent suit for 500-600 that I would wear once or twice a week.

Nudies were my first pair of raws. They were fadding really nicely until the crotch totally disintegrated.

I am also currently rocking APCs. The crotch is getting a little thin though. What do you suggest to enforce them?

Wouldnt mind patching up my old nudies either, maybe i can get them professionally done?

I think there is an online place called denim doctor that some people I know use.... You send them your jeans the fix them and mail them back ... I'll try to get more info and pm you

I've got a black pair and a blue pair. Got them on sale at Marks Work Warehouse. I wear dress pants to work so I just need a couple of pairs for mostly the weekends. I usually have a third pair kicking around that are strictly for working in but they were getting a little risque so they went into the bin. My wife forces me to buy clothes because otherwise I would just wear them till they aren't wearable.

Spending money on clothes is another one like the ring thread that I just don't get. Golf clubs, Flames tickets, games, computers etc. ---these I understand and get but clothes---sheesh!!!!!!!!!

[Tron_fdc]

I get mine fitted at Holt or sometimes Saks if I'm in the States. Right now i have about 8 pairs in circulation, mainly True Religion or Diesels. I find they fit me better than a lot of other brands.

There are 2 things I don't skimp on....jeans and dress shirts. Because as much as you guys would like to think that girls don't notice guys in jeans that don't fit, they do.

[nickerjones]

i think people who havent tried on a pair of premium denim should go to underground and just try a pair on .... there is usually a difference on the way they fit compared to lets say american eagle jeans.... you might like the way they fit and give them a try .... although i will say i havent spent retail on a pair of jeans in a long time.... if you like a pair pm me maybe i can help ya find a pair cheaper through the online contacts i use.....

4x4 buys Premium designer pre-ripped Jeans.

Not the pre-washed ones though, he doesnt believe in washing.

perfect for 4x4 .... ripped , dirty, and 250,000 bucks and no i didnt make a typo on the price......

[North East Goon]

Greatest new trend for jeans, they are now adding 2% - 5% spandex in them for a little give - I love it! It's nice being able to reach into my front pockets with little difficulty.

Well...I know 4x4 makes rash and wildly irresponsible financial decisions but that might be a stretch....even for him.

I think if you have problems putting your hands in your pockets it's a little too tight.

I cringe everytime I see guys wear super tight jeans which makes them look like girl jeans. I don't want to see every freaking bulge and curve. Please, leave that to the ladies, I don't want to see your junk.
