She was so pleased that they had been reduced to $109 (were originally $178).

Often unworn, probably seconds or unpopular colours donated by comapnies
at the end of seasons. So I balance out my extravagance...also I've bought some Sevens jeans on e-bay for less than half retail price and they are perfect - probably fell off a lorry!!

Lucky Brand are fab, quite expensive average $100 a pair depending on the style you like although I just bought a pair in Costco for $37.99
Also like AG but again they're quite expensive, don't mind paying alot for decent jeans, I wear them all the time and if I get a couple of years out of them then $100 isn't alot to pay..Loved Diesel back in the UK, used to pay about 90 quid but unfortunately anything European is horrendously expensive..Hate Levis, make my arse look huge..

Agreed! Also it's an incentive not to put on weight!

I usually buy Gap jeans but I've put weight on over the winter so bought some Old Navy jeans until I can get back in my Gap ones. The Old Navy ones are crap, the dye comes out of them and I end up with blue legs. I hardly ever buy the same sized jeans. I have size 6, 8 and 10 Gap jeans but they are all exactly the same size, I always take 3 different sizes of clothing into the fitting room with me because I find every store sizes their clothes differently
My husband always wears 501s and won't have any other make.
Every time my brother comes to visit we take a trip into NY City so he can stock up on Diesel or Earl jeans. Last time he came though he said he could get Diesel jeans cheaper in London but the Earl ones are still a lot cheaper here.

Overstock are worth watching, but they wouldn't take my UK Mastercard so I had to go elsewhere. I've now managed to get a US card via HSBC after much hassle so I shall be trying again.

I shop for them at the local Goody's store, usually on a discount day where I get them for about $24. ![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I used to live in Levi's and still have several pairs ... but since being here I have been buying the low cut style by Refuge ... nice fit, albeit that they don't last very long!

I bought some of the ripped jeans in Abercrombie & Fitch, and I love them! They fit me perfectly and I live in them now. I bought an old vintage pair of orange tab Levi 684s (very flared and very cool) from Ebay and I adore those. I bought tons of cheaper no-name jeans that I like because they have cool styles (low-rise, unusual fade etc) and wear those on stage because they're a bit thinner and don't make me sweat. I have way too many jeans but I can never resist a well fitting pair.

We must be the same shape! LOL! That's what I wear too. I used to buy Levi's custom fit and they were AWESOME!!! Jeans that fit like a glove for the first time in my life. They still make them in some places, but not with the tall rise anymore
