When I was a teenager and used to listen to nu metal we used to be able to use my jeans as a sleeping bag - me in one leg and my girlfriend in the other leg.
I miss Levis

Tractor supply has some of the best rated durable jeans, and they’re some of the cheapest

Yeah but then you’re supporting insurrectionists and pedophiles.
N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yes, but they have great sales. Boys pants half off!

Costco has a more limited selection but still cheap and durable. I’ve got a couple pairs that are older than my kids.
errer@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Curious if that’s still true since you presumably bought those jeans many years ago. I only recently got Kirkland jeans and I’m skeptical they’ll last.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Wrangler still makes cheap, basic jeans out of thicker denim.
Anyone else think $50 is a lot for a pair of 501s?
I have Levi’s that are about 25 years old that I still wear. (Of course, I went through a few years when I was too fat to wear them, so they just hung in the closet till I lost the weight. But, they are that old, and I do wear them now.)

Used to be decent, anyways. Now the price has more than doubled in the last year, and it broke after a couple months for me. I then ordered a second pair and the same thing happened. Maybe there’s a specific variant, or they sell different qualities to different markets?

I vaguely remember reading about a 501 collectors market and how vintage Levis went for a pretty penny. Im guess it wasn’t 1995 vintage, though.

Those jeans are not from 100 years ago
HikingVet@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Ugh, so hard to find a decent pair of boot cut jeans that aren’t as thin as high tech hiking pants and are comfortable.

I get my clothes from the thrift store. Sadly, even that’s getting more expensive. Used to be could get jeans for $5 and now it’s more like $20

When I was younger if you had holes in your jeans you weren’t cool, you were poor.

weird shapes
There’s a particular style of pants I’ve seen in more recent years that always gives the impression that the person wearing them has a loaded diaper underneath due to how the crotch seam hangs way below the actual crotch.

Wait but Levis still exist! I’m wearing them. Shit is this a dream? Chat, am I real?
Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Just not the same quality that they used to be
kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Levis makes a huge range of quality. The stuff at shopping mall department stores is crap. But the made-on-Mexico shrink-to-fit 501s you can find at hardware stores are phenomenal. And they are still only like US$50.
papalonian@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You may be smoking crack my friend, Levis are considered the gold standard of jeans and they’re rock solid… and their standard line isn’t even expensive.
los0220@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s getting harder to get a nice pair of non-streach jeans. And the streach ones are shit IMO

When I was in 7th or 8th grade, I put a pair of Levi’s silver tab jeans in the shopping cart with my mom, didn’t know the price. Got up front to checkout and they were around $45. My eyes almost popped out of my head, I don’t remember spending that kind of money on clothes. Looked at my mom, she said to get them reluctantly. I felt so bad, I made those pants last for almost 10 years, all through highschool before they turned in my housework/car repair pants.
You can still get decent levis for $50 or so, but quality has definitely gone down a bit.
thesohoriots@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m not saying to do the thing where you only put them in the freezer like a lunatic, but washing them much and wrong doesn’t help.

Anyone got any recommendations for jeans with a button fly?
ODGreen@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Naked and Famous denim. Lots of different cuts available.
Mandarbmax@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Basically anything on Franklin & Poe’s website. Or call them and they will geek out about denim to you over the phone

I swear by Carhartt.

It isn’t the shape of the jeans you’re identifying a weird.
mossberg590@lemmy.world 10 months ago
True denim doesn’t stretch so tight was very uncomfortable. Fashion wanted tight jeans so they added spandex to the denim weave. Durability was sacrificed for butt-hugging.
SpicyTaint@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I would sacrifice anything for some butt-hugging. 😭

Does that mean you’ll go to the gym; stop eating so much junk food; take showers every day; keep your abode clean; go out of the house and talk to people in real life?
