For real does anyone have any jeans advice?

Been using Levis for decades and honestly it's mainly out of desperation, they aren't "Cheap" (sub 50) but they are cheaply made. I don't give a shit about spending more for jeans if they last longer but the last batch maybe last a year or two before they poofed and the one before that wasn't much different.

None of this billion pocket bullshit or pre-ripped faggotry please.

Last time I mentioned these I got mocked because they're pricey but IDGAF because I wait until they're on sale and buy them for about $100.

They're stretchy and honestly the most comfortable jeans I've ever had, they look good on me, and they're durable. Also, Nordstrom has the best return policy I've ever seen. They will just take shit back without question if you ever have a problem. They're a stretch material which is super comfortable and a little more form fitting but not tight.

The Tellis is the skinny, the Everett is in the middle and the Graduate is the more relaxed fit. I usually wear the Everett because I'm 45.

The pants are great too, I usually buy 1-2 pairs every year during sales, I have a pair of Navy, Khaki, Grey and Denim and I just mix and match them with everything and I know exactly how they will fit and look and I wear them all the time.

Do not buy them at full price, get them at the $100 mark.

Edit: Nordstrom also does on site tailoring so I get mine hemmed for free.

These are fantastic. They have 5% spandex in them so they are jean tough, but have some stretch. I and several coworkers converted our entire pants collections over to these or variations. Lee’s brand had the best value for price and quality imo, but there are several companies that do these now. All the various styles and cuts are available depending on what style of Jean you wear.

These would be the "dad" jean, but I like some of the darker washes too.

Is spandex blend stronger?

One of the driving reasons I am switching from Levi 100% cotton is because they seem to wear out pretty damn fast.

I may just hit them up since they are on sale for as much as the lee's.

The spandex gives it stretch so it feels like you’re wearing sweatpants. So as your waistline moves up or down, or you’re bloated for a day, there’s no pinching, it just stretches out.

I only buy Levi's shrink to fit 501s, buy them bigger and longer then put them on and sit in the tub with warm water for an hour.

You'll accomplish two things. Staining your tub indigo and having the best fitting jeans.

You need the ones with the red tab.

I'm serious, girls dig button flys it makes a very distinct sound when you pull the fly open and the buttons pop. They fucking love to do it.

Google Button fly jeans sex. And you'll find tons of articles from women talking about it.

They stretch bro. Hateyou Hateyou is right, they feel like sweat pants and they’re soft as shit.

I am a convert and won’t go back to traditional denim unless you’re actually using them for horseback riding or protection from stickers or something.

These aren’t rugged jeans, they’re city jeans.

I prefer the Wranglers, I've just recently bought 2 pairs of the Greensboro ones in different colours. They fit nice, are comfy and although I cant speak to longevity yet they don't feel flimsy. The last pairs of Lee's I had lasted about 5 minutes, they wore out on the arse just from loafing about.

I also went from Levi's to Lee about two years ago. The Levi's seemed to be getting cheaper and cheaper quality, and I do like the slightly stretchy feel of the Lee.

Pro-tip: if your jeans are tight enough they need to be stretchy, OR if your jeans are made partly of spandex, those are ladies jeans. In case a picture helps, this is what Mens jeans look like

Just chiming in to say that the recent trend of slim stretchy jeans is great. They fit awesomely but still remain really comfortable. I'm poor so I just get the cheap Walmart ones, but I've tried on more expensive ones and yeah. Go a size down from your normal and get the stretchy ones, you won't regret it.

The stretch jeans are not tight unless you want them to be, they make them in every single cut. I have some baggy ass boot cuts in stretch material, and some smaller straight cuts. They aren’t stretching around your ass, they just have stretch overall, so when you’re moving, sitting, waist bloated they have room to move, unlike traditional jeans.

They look identical to what you posted. Your statement is indicative that you’ve never tried them and have no idea what you’re talking about.
