Where's a good place (best value) to buy them these days?
I'm usually a Levis person, but open to other suggestions.
Howies are good and seem to be shaped for cyclists thighs and bums.
Gap outlet sale
Howies.
T K Maxx
Search for Edwin ED47 and Lee 101z. Buy wherever is cheapest.
Howies are out as they have a button fly.
Fat Face sale.
Good value? My Patagonia jeans outlast all others (including Howies) and are really nice fabric and cut (and uber organic etc) - last two pairs were £50 in sales.
Howies are also very over priced for what they are.
TK Maxx, I like a Levi 511 and they often have then in on the cheap.
Uniqlo - but the pocket materials is thin, thin thin.
Howies.
Hiut.
If you are near Manchester? I went to the Flannels outlet in the Lowry centre last week and bought a pair of Replay jeans for £38. Easily equal to two pairs of Gap jeans.
Loads of losts of sizes there too. The other clothes are abit fashionqueen though.
Opposite end of the country to Manchester I'm afraid.
interesting about Fat Face: we have one in town.
Next. Nice fit for blokes with fat thighs 🙂
TKMaxx depends upon the stock - sometimes they have some really good jeans such as Scotch & Soda.
Howies are well made and reasonably priced.
Nudie are amazing jeans but for that you pay a premium.
Thought this might be about the vote in the commons today.
Have you had a look in the back of the Mail on Sunday colour supplement? They have some very good offers on this type of thing. Elasticated waist I assume? Paired with some nice brogues?

Sigh. This place is going to the dogs.
We're more than ten posts in and no-one has popped up to loftily assert that they only buy their jeans from Tesco, they're 10 quid, last for years, and if you pay any more then you're a fashion victim and a fool!
*wanders off muttering*

I have about 8 pairs of these! They are quite easy to find in teh sale, but to be honest since getting a pair of Lee 101, it's apparent that the difference in quality (denim and manufacture) is a lot more than the price would suggest. The Lee's are miles better (pleas enote the 101 bit, it's important).
I like Levis 505, on 'Get the label' they are £40. If you're ever in NYC then Dave's on Avenue of the Americas is the absolute doggies for denim and Carhartt stuff, and with a website.
I always stock up/buy good quality jeans when they are cheap- in December bought two new pairs of Diesel, Levis, these Replay. Basically to replace the ones I've had ten years+ that shred in the crotch from riding the bike to work etc too much in them.
Have a look at this website for great quality Jeans & Shirts & Jackets at great prices plus they use the finest japanese Selvedge & Cottons as well...

Tesco jeans spotted this morning:

bought some matalan taperd fit jeans for about £15, fit nice and snug with what I consider just enough room for movement and so are dead comfy.
My 15 year old daughter however is struggling dealing with her dad in skinnies.
they're not supposed to be skinnies....:-/
Suprised no one has suggested Aldi yet!

This is quite interesting actually. Thanks!
Binners we all know you fall into the sale bin at the local skateboard/surf shop for your clothing choices 😆

That's all I wear, the value ones and they were £3 a pair, when they are nice and new, wear them when not at work, once they start getting bit worn and frayed, perfect workwear, spend the day in a set of coveralls. Money saved helps keep my lbs going and my bike addiction fed. If people want to spend more let them, we all have different prioritites, mine isn't my appearance.
Next loose fit are good for cyclist legs without looking like Madness Baggy Trousers 🙂

Neither have they said that you should only buy obscure Japanese denim & never wash it but kill bacteria by storing the jeans in a freezer
Poor show STW!
M&M direct skinnies for me £19.99 a pair 🙂 I'm old & I don't care
+1 for next
Paul Smith (Outlet shop obviously)
Being quite tall they do a 35in inside leg, most places never go above 34in.

They are £5 but they don't last for years
+1 for Gustin. Lovely jeans. I'm sitting here in my 16.25oz Cone Mills Heavy Americans (in front of the wood burner). I also have some great Cone blueXblack jeans too and waiting for some Japanese blackXblacks to come up.
Edit: They're long too for the lanky ones.
I tend to prefer Mantaray jeans from Debenhams, especially the loose fit ones. They've got 20% off jeans at the moment if that helps.
I like Replay jeans, I wait for the sales though
I have never paid more than £40 for a pair of jeans.
I tend to buy two to three pairs of the same jeans if they are on sales at rock bottom price.
😀
I've got a fair few pairs from Topman, but their stuff tends to lend itself to those who want the 'skinny' look. Relatively cheap and quality isn't bad vs price. Couple of pairs of 511's which are nice too.
Have had a pair of Nudie's for a few months now, interesed in the Hiut's as a premium pair but never got near a retailer to try before buy.
Used to buy Diesel but I think you pay a brand premium and not totally into their cuts.
TK Maxx always seem to be loose fit styles which isn't my thing.
+1 for gap outlet.

WTF 😮 how much £££££££
I was seriously pissed at paying £110 for a pair of diesels, only ****ers that fit (they are stretchy), i'm not exactly muscle thighs either..
Matalan are cheap.
I can't say I've noticed if they have blue denim jeans by Wrangler, but they do usually have black canvas jeans by Wrangler for £28.
They also do other brands - Lee Cooper I think, Lee, and Easy (their own brand?). Not sure if they do Levis as , from 1982 up until very recently, I've been avoiding blue denim... and still would if Mrs_D would let me get away with it 🙄
Rivet & Hide
They have some niiiice stuff on there.
Nice jeans....but for a site selling top end jeans it is a spectacularly bad website. Unlike the [url= http://hiutdenim.co.uk/ ]huit[/url] website itself which is much more fitting for the product.

Maybe that's the thing? The better the product, the worse the website?
Other trousers are available guys!!
What is it with blokes and jeans? it's like a uniform.

Yep - shorts.
🙂
I wear supermarket jeans for work - they have to be washed every time their worn, last about six months.
Call it £1.00 per month.
Non work Levis/whatever's cheap at Boundary Mill usually last a couple of years or so, about £2.00 a month.
The decent ones are much nicer to wear.
Other trousers are available guys!!
Crazy talk!
I normally just get mine in the straight or slim cut from Asos, they fit pretty well, last long enough and hardly cost anything.
Uniformity of awesomezness
Next for jeans, lots of styles and colours. Good prices and very hard wearing. But more importantly they have a fit to suit you. Loose or straight should fit a cyclists leg.
So those Gustin look good and a crazy number of choices, when they come up. What are they like? Worth the hassle?
I just buy from any where that has some I can fit my mahoosive thighs in!!
And aren't silly expensive. Neadless to say I struggle a bit to find many in a fashionable cut. 🙁
emsz - MemberWhat is it with [s]blokes[/s] birds and jeans? it's like a uniform.
It's far, far more likely to find extensive articles in the fashion pages of newspapers and magazines on which denims are best for women to wear.
I like Uniqlo denims, especially their selvedge indigo denim, which is excellent. The sizes have to be watched closely, though; length seems ok, I take a 33-34" inseam, and a 32" waist, but when I bought mine, after (fortunately) trying a pair on in one of the London stores, I found I needed 34 x 34"! 😯

I've had loads of slim/skinny fit from TK Maxx
My favourite jeans are usually G-Star (not from TK Maxx). Generally around £110/pair so only one pair a year or two
I've just ordered some Gustin jeans on the back of the recommendations here 🙂
Only 4 months until the arrive 🙁

Great.
Yes
@peterfile - what did you go for?

The KD Lang Collection?
Emsz, spot on!

Haven't owned any normal jeans for years. The tyranny of dullness that is blue denim must be stopped!
Currently sporting a pair of Mountain Khaki cords.
Duplicate post.
Wow!! 2 pages, just on jeans. Good work, people 
FYI: I found some in a GAP store I was in the other day so I'm gonna give those a go.
Cheers for the input.
@peterfile - what did you go for?
Went for the Heavy American, which seems to be a good starting point.
I've got a mountain of cords, chinos, trousers etc. The only thing I don't have much of is decent jeans.
ballpark, how much do they work out at? Not sure I want to create an account just to find out pricing.
Or is it 'if you have to ask, you can't afford it'
mine were about £70 including shipping to the UK.
Ooh - not bad then compared to the usual suspects of Howies, nudie, edwin, etc.
Lee 101
Very good shout.
Aeroleathers in Hawick sell Levis and Lee Vintage as well as some others. Silvetto is also worth a look as they are a wee bit cheaper than Aero at the moment.
Costco have Levis 501's @ 39.59 (inc VAT) and stock some other main brand/designer names. I think they import them direct from the US.
Stick with Levis. wear better then any other make.
Keep away from the fashion brands like FC UK, destroyed a pair after only a few weeks

- will you have to pay import duties?
Prana jeans for me. Bit of stretch in them, cut is good, easy to climb in them and general dossing and fit my bit cycle thighs nicely.
Haven't a clue, they just appear in the drawer when my last pair are about to bite the dust. Might be something to do with socks and pants fairy.
Wrangler & Lee jeans at Matalan for £32. Own brand from £16
I've got nudies, there marketing is nice and they look great. But I never get the wear out of them they advertise, the crotch always goes well before I get the nice worn lines etc. Might return to levis, if they offer nice cuts etc

Crikey, Prana still going? I've got a tee and a tank of theirs I bought back in the 90's that are still going, not seen their stuff around for yonks!
I'll check out their jeans, thanks for the tip. 😀
Iron Heart 21oz raw sanforized denim. My pair haven't been near a washing machine since I bought them...that must be what 8 months now. It's all about the fades man.
