Re: Things that make you feel old
You can get Levi's cheaper, it just depends on the cut.

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.

$200-$250 for a pair of jeans. You've been hoodwinked or convinced of some dubious fact that Victoria Beckham doesn't have her jeans manufactured in the same 3rd world sweat shop as the rest of the jean manufacturers.

Re: Things that make you feel old
You are most welcome
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..

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.

Ha ha. Good one. It’s just that I find the cost benefit of more expensive jeans to not be worth it.

Awww thanks Glad you managed to get some at a reasonable price, worth the shipping costs alone! 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!

Re: Things that make you feel old
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?

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