I too am in 501s and Crocs. I shall not be 55 again.

Yes, Wranglers are dirt cheap here, as low as $17.99

You can get Levi's cheaper, it just depends on the cut.

501s and Docs here.

Crocs??!!!! O Canada! shame on thee.

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.

Nothing wrong with the classics.

$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.

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.

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

Amazing Comfort!! One-touch Velcro straps!! Adjustable waistband for all-day comfort!!

OMG

I did have Docs on to go to work.

You should have said 3-D Projection onto the coffee table.

Siouxie, you are now officially my star!

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!

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
