What kind of jeans do you wear?

I'm getting older and I can't wear the jeans of my youth anymore. I have always been a Levis kind of guy (505) but just recently bought a pair of Wrangler 13 MWZ. These seem to fit me a bit better.

I'll spend money on nice things but I can't justify spending the high price of some of the fashion jeans out there. Under $50 for me works fine.

What do you wear?

AE 360 Flex

Affordable yet modern, but not too trendy. Extremely comfortable due to the stretch material, buy one size smaller in waist.

AG for me. But more like khaki style jeans.

Haven’t worn denim in forever.

And sure fashion jeans cost more. But they also wear better and are far more comfortable imho.

Wranglers after decades of Levi's. The wranglers fit better and wear longer.

Honestly Levi’s quality has diminished over the years. I have Levi’s from 10yrs ago yet to have a single blemish whereas the ones I purchased a few months ago are already torn at the seams.

Nowadays I go mainly for Japanese denim. PRPS commands a high price and some of their styling is on the more ostentatious side, but when you find some of their neutral batches they’re worth every penny.

I didn't even know what AG jeans were, I had to google. Banana Republic on sale, CK from Costco when they had them and Levi's 505 from Kohl's with 30% off coupon.

I unfortunately like the fit and look of expensive jeans.
They wear totally different and am blessed to still be able to pull off slim fit.
Robert Graham for me for dressier wear.
True Religion for casual.

Tried a few different things, levis 501 and 501ct, both as heavy denim as possible. these last forever, have the classic look (I hate skinny jeans) I want and aren't crazyily overpriced.

For everyday wear Ralph Lauren Polo. For work jeans Cabela’s brand. They are cheap and wear like iron.

Levis 560 comfort fit for guys with stocky legs. Unfortunately they are not made anymore, but I have several pair and some pair are at least 10 years old. They are worn, but not worn out. These were well made, apparently Levis now have gone to a much cheaper thinner gauge denim that is not of the same quality.
Going to try a pair of Diamond Gusset jeans. They are made in USA (Tennessee) from USA produced denim. Only sold online. I need to try a pair!

I don't understand how people can dislike skinny jeans. I'm not saying it needs to be as tight as possible but a decent fit always looks better than baggy and sloppy jeans/pants.

Most of the normal jeans do not accentuate the body very well.

With skinny jeans I mean the skin tight ones.

I wear raw denim but I guess I'm a snob when it comes to jeans. Naked and Famous and Iron Heart are in the current rotation.

I think “skinny jeans” require a “man bun” to wear them.

Diamond Gusset’s are great jeans ......................... for the garage, yard, or out of the public eye !

I have a couple of pairs for shop work, and they are extremely durable, but the waist is so high, the waistband gets stained with underarm deodorant.
