Nordstrom Rack has Seven's and Joe's discounted pretty heavily, if you can find your size then you can get good deals. They are very comfortable and can be worn to the office without looking like "work jeans".
Do you buy "premium" jeans?

Buy the same jeans I have for 40 years.
Levi's
40 x more expensive since the '60's-70's.

I do, everything from Seven's to Diesels to True Religions. Before you call me a complete moron, let me express why...
First of all I grew up wearing A&F, loved the jeans; I still own some from 1997 and they still fit great with no holes or wear down. In the mid 2000's they started manufacturing them with holes and tears, etc. Not my style. I then bought every Fing pair of jeans known to man to have the same relaxed fit ( I have rather large upper legs from working out), and not one pair worked. I finally settled on Banana Republic until I noticed they started to wear and tear in less then a year.
I have now switched over to Sevens and the higher end jeans, I find they have a more relaxed fit and last a little longer. In my opinion I rather pay extra money for something that I am going to wear that is going to fit and look the way I want it to as a consumer.

Exactly! For Diesels and most of the other jeans when you buy them you have to get the legs hemmed to fit which is also nice cause it's usually free depending on where you buy and it makes them last even longer cause you don't have to worry about the jeans being too long and then stepping on them and tearing them up.
Diesels I can probably wear for two years if nothing crazy happens to them to ruin them. So spending 150-200 dollars on a pair of jeans isn't all that bad considering it's sort of a long term investment. I have tons of other similar jeans like RVCAs that cost maybe $40 that I've had not even half as long and just from washing them a few times the denim is wearing thin. If I wore them as much as the other jeans and washed them as much they would have holes in them already.

No more than 50 per for me. And they last at least 7 years.
Rock Revival, Big Star, BKE or Union. $85-$230, the fit and feel of these jeans make it worth it to me.

any guy who owns stuff from american eagle, areopastel (idc how its spelled), Hollister are generally morons in my experience. I own levis and wranglers. when I go shopping I try to avoid stores with male models in it. I also second what adam said, I thought that victoria's secret was expensive (60 for a bra). Why is it that girls pay more and more for less material????
I wish applebees worked like that

I will only buy the best for me, so if I find comfortable jeans that look good, I don't worry about the price tag.

I guess also you are older and at a more sucessful stage in your life. At my age I cannot justify buying jeans over like 25 dollars lol
yea me too... i paid 80 bucks once for some a&f...never again now if they are on sale i get me like 3-4 pair of jeans
i do that with express clothes too, wait for the fall 60% to 80% sale lol who cares if its not in season colors.
:shrug:
I wear BKE from Buckle.There normaly around $70-80bucks
nautica jeans fit me the best....
nope. I buy whats on sale, normally quicksilver or Tommy's and I beat the crap out of my jeans. I never saw the point of buying "premium" jeans. Could spend that towards the truck
I wait till they are on sale or if i have a date ill pay retail 200 bucks ,
funny, i was going to post that exact price point.
