I had a pair once. Also a pair of Lee Coopers. Both poor imitations of 'the genuine article' in my opinion. :lol: You can get Levi's cheaper, it just depends on the cut. https://www.walmart.ca/en/clothing-s...N-2067+1000340 https://www.walmart.ca/en/clothing-s...N-2067+1275523 :) |

There are quite few brands that suit older men and while you don't need to break the bank, pair around $200-$250 won't make you look like a bloke who has given up on life. :lol::lol:
Nothing wrong with the classics. I tend to buy my jeans at the Kirkland boutique although I think the bricks and mortar version are $14.99 not $12.99. The jeans tend to last me 3 or 4 years each and then they head to the bin. https://m.costco.com/Kirkland-Signat...100325939.html |

I wandered into a second hand/pawn shop with my 10 year old recently. They had a bright red trim 'phone for sale - very cool back in the day. First my daughter asked "what is it?" When I told her she said "but where's the screen?"

It sounds like you would have been my type, lol, loons and long hair! So, Levi's in Canada tend to be around the $80 mark, although you can get them cheaper in sales. Bootcut (527's) are a little cheaper in the US though.. https://www.jcpenney.com/p/levis-527...plType=regular https://www.levi.com/CA/en_CA/Cleara...ns/p/055270546 If you love wearing them, don't stop! :) I just ordered three pairs of bootcut levis from JCP for a total of CHF19 more than I would pay for just one pair here! There will obviously be additional costs... JCP wouldn't let me ship internationally, so I had to resort to using my US reship delivery address, and they'll take it from there, shipping costs as yet unknown. Unless they split the delivery or disguise it well, I'll also get banged for Swiss import duty, but I'm betting that the two extra costs combined won't even reach the cost of a second pair of jeans, so the third pair could potentially be viewed as free! Feedback will be provided as and when. :fingerscrossed: |

In the UK did you buy your trousers and shoes from those pencil drawings in the Daily Express?

I did have a look at reshipping earlier (GMTA!), it looked to be around $40 for 2 pairs, so hopefully 3 won't be much more. Well done you! :D |

Footwear, jeans, trousers, shirts...you name it. Nothing that was ever double the cost I'd normally pay lasted twice as long. I will admit that cheap polo shirts from Primark lost their shape after a few washes but if you were slim enough to tuck them in, it wasn't noticeable. And at £4 a time when even C&A or M&S were £12, who cared? :lol: |

Laying in a hospital bed waiting for a surgeon to unblock your arteries was an eye opener for sure
