The last 12 or so months I have tried out many brands of jeans, from Primark, to Next, H&M, GAP etc etc. Everything!

Levis, are by far, the best for my. They fit perfectly.

I have decided to buy a few more pairs. Now, sadly, they are not cheap! Does anyone know where I can pick them up cheaper than the highstreet?

Thanks

EDIT: Have to be genuine, not cheap knock offs. I wear them to work. So durability is a big thing and the 2 pairs I have now are perfect.

I'm the same only buy 501's, they just fit better and last longer than any other brand I've had.

I do tend to buy them from the high st though. Pretty much the only thing I do buy irl these days. £70/£80 per pair is standard.

Yea, tis fairly expensive. I am often lugging computers around, scrambling about on the floor of a dusty comms room, or under desks. Just general light wear and tear stuff and they have held up perfectly! Not one loose seem!

Best part is, I can wear them to work, get stuck in with them on and go to the pub after work and still look fairly respectable with a shirt on!

I too get the 501's. Original cut always wins :)

I only buy mine from outlet stores, usually 2 for £80-90. There's one down in Portsmouth, or you could try the one in Bicester Village.

Edit - 501s all the way.
 
Huh, little sale going on on the Levis site... Nothing to write home about.

I normally get mine from House of Fraser in the Oracle, Reading. But they never have a sale on :(
 
I cant fit in levis :( I cant fit my chunky thighs in most straight leg jeans. I have to buy the ole comfort fit jobbies from other brands. Shame as i like 501s bit heavy though. Got quite fond of hilfiger denim lately and bench for cheaper stuff (only one of the cheaper brands that fit).

Oddly, this was a slight concern for me as well! But I am still able to pinch the thigh cut's and get around half 3/4 of an inch between my fingers when I sit down. So it's not overly tight.

But other than that, they are the most comfy jeans I have ever worn haha. Specially after a few days wear when they get all soft :D
 
I only ever buy 501's generally less than £55 in most places, last few pairs I got were from New York though and quality is actually not as good. The ones from New York were made in Mexico and the ones from here are made somewhere else in Europe. Also New York ones have only one line of ginger stitching on the leg, where as ones here are double stitched.

Levi's Jeans, at least in their Levi's store in Manhattan, is not that different in price compare to here. You looking at $90 + tax a pair which depending on exchange rate, it is at least £70 for one of their less trendy range.

I did pick up a pair of Levi's 511in Georgia for about £30 but that was in some independent store on the outskirt of Atlanta.

The week before I went to the states I picked up a pair of 501 in TK Maxx for £30 also. There are cheap Levi's in England, you just got to know where to look, with a bit of luck of course as well.
 
I had a few pairs of Levi's but found they just didnt fit right after a few washes and they were genuine as i bought them from the levi's shop in Lakeside iirc.

But about 2 yrs ago i gave them all away to a charity shop and replaced them with G Star RAW jeans, which are a much nicer fit. I like my jeans a bit tapered at the bottom towards the lower leg and ankle. Im also rather fond of the ARC style of jeans from G Star...i have about 5 pairs now, need to get some more as ive seen some tasty colours in the local g star raw shop near where i live.
 
I went to the levi shop to buy my non-tight jeans. As most shops don't sell a 38/32 as they say that people want the tight jeans these days.

I spent £70 on a pair of black 501. Definitely great jeans, comfortable and high quality and best of all, not tight like girls jeans. :D

Am I alone in thinking Levi's seem such an old outdated brand of jeans?

Brand means jack to me. If Pimark gave me the same results, I would wear those.

Levis really do fit me very well and not going to lie, my skinny arse looks much nicer in them haha.

I always run into the problem of leg too short as well... But Levis, nope :)
 
Always thought they had some of the worse cuts in any "jean" ive tried on, terrible space especially in the thigh area and waist measurements all over the show.
Made for smaller legs like most fashion shops they seem made for smaller people.

Brand means jack all to me as well, I have some white label Republic jeans that cost me £35, and they are most comfortable pair of jeans I have owned in a long time, much more comfortable than my Diesel jeans.

Luckily jeans from Next seem to fit me very well.
