Yep shopping with skill is definitely a fine art and I'm with you on the quality footwear 110%, also quite often price is not a good indicator of quality, especially when it comes to some of the newer fancy names, you also have to be careful with stuff that has been quality in the past as it often goes down with popularity.

 

sick going through 25 quid tissue thin regular jeans

went through net these were recommended

they don't LOOK that much more hard wearing though

 

Already a pensioner.

 

I've been through Armani, Versace, Moschino and Ralph Lauren ones but hands down prefer the fit of Levis. Must have just shy of 20 pairs. All bar two are twisteds. I generally scout for them second hand as that style has long since gone out of vogue but they are quality jeans. The cordouroy versions don't wear quite as well but the fit is perfect for me.

 

What's with the ageism? I'm almost 50 and never wear trousers, always in jeans, ok I don't look 50 but I spent most of my working life wearing trousers, shirts and ironing them every day, can't remember the last time I picked up an iron, even though I don't mind ironing, I still don't want to have to pick one up for as long as possible, mostly because it involves being in polite society, which is probably my greatest dislike, can't think of anything I dislike greater than being around people with whom I have to be polite and mind my P's and Q's.

*** that.

 

We'll be the judge of that. Now post your picture up and we will decide how old you really look.

 

I would but I already get far too much attention on here from stalkers, so I don't want to encourage the existing ones or collect any new ones.

 

Just bought a lovely pair of Adidas Jeans.

Otherwise Levi 501,504,505 for me just fit me nicely so no need to spend over a ton

 

I wear Next shoes for work utter crap in this weather, one walk through the car park and your toes are drenched

I have a pair of Wrangle bootcut and a pair of Superdry straight fit jeans both worn in rotation. I don't go out often enough or care what people think in order to buy more. I have a pair of nice brown shoes for dates and a pair of Vans for every other social occasion, otherwise my Nike trainers that are probably 5 years old get worn.

 

Don't worry about them. They stalk you because they think you boast empty with your stories. If you back your stories up with your hard core evidence, they'll see their bum and leave you alone.

 

I like the colour of these shoes.

 

Agree, 501's all the way, not sure about the trainers tough.

Have had some expensive jeans, best fitting pair was some YSL, cost a lot but first couple of washes and you couldn't wear them.

 

Just bought 2 pairs of 501 and a pair of 504, nothing changes

 

Love my originals, just bought these

Adidas Milano.
I have 3 pairs of roma68 Pumas, all different colours.

 

Bought some Carhartt EB136

forget jeans , for any serious work


they look good as well

 

I used to be a Lee man, now mine are all Levi 501, either black or dark blue, I pay around £40 on ebay.

 

Ditto love originals

Liking the Milano's there

Seen a couple of pairs of Hamburg Tech that are catching my eye

 

Good taste my man, also love the hamburgs, used to own a pair of green ones with yellow slashes. Defo something addictive with classics, not keen on the new age classics though, classic wannabes lol
