Have a look on ebay! There are some bargains out there! I've recently sold 2 pairs of Calvin Klein Jeans, Versace jeans and Tommy Hilfiger jeans. Only very slight wear on the bottom of the jeans which is natural.
So spend a little bit of time and have a browse you will find something!

Really... I wash mine probably once every 3 months or so. I hate the feeling of washed jeans. They need to break in over time. I have a pair of Ironheart that I'm yet to wash... almost a year old now. 
They're not worn that often though.

I love newly washed jeans, they are not so tight after a few hours wear

These are 21oz denim. About the thickest you can get. The quality is superb but they're maybe not a fashion jean like the original poster is after. They will wear with time though and look amazing. last for years.

So many of you have talked about brands but not mentioned the fit.
I like the look of Levi's but don't wear them as the fit is bad (they seem to be made for flat bums and large waists).
I have had some great fitting cheap jeans, but also some not so great ones too.
I bought a pair or Guess jeans 11 years ago, I still have them, as they are really comfy, but they are really faded now and demoted to wearing when washing the car.
Jeans need to fit nicely on the bum

If people want to look at some newer styles then try Nudie.

check out TK Max - they do reasonable brands and at very good prices.
Paul Smith, Levi, Ted Baker, Hugo Boss and Diesel are all great brands, some of which are available in TK Max...
My Sister swears by the place.

I think it doesn't matter what the brand is providing the fit is spot on. Shopping for jeans in something I hate, so once i find I pair I like i keep them until they turn into "vintage".
When buying jeans always check out what your **** looks like, as that is the first place where any one looks.
If you want your big **** to look smaller get pocket flaps on the back pockets - don't go for patterned back pockets. Don't go for a trendy colour/wash got for a levi orginial colour classic denim.

Howies do a few decent cuts for denims. I like the fit personally.

Mail order is spot on 2-3 days free delivery and free returns if you don't like.
Their wool/denim mix is spot on for the winter
