As a college kid, it’s nice to only have to watch like 2 mins of this video and know where to look for good clothing. Saves me money and time! Thanks Antonio!!!
I just bought five pairs of Levi’s 502 Premium Jeans (40% off Black Friday sale) based on your full Levi Jean Guide video and my wardrobe has never been so versatile. I got light, mid, dark, grey, & black washes. I feel like I unlocked some sort of wardrobe cheat code. You were totally right about the 502! Thank you for your help! You made my life so much easier.
I have 5 pairs of 512 Levis. 2230 rupees each from their official website in India. Close to 29 dollars if we convert. All of them 98pc cotton. Anything have a lesser composition of cotton would never last. Thats for sure. Simply because elasticity would tend to get loose leading to lesser durability as time goes by. Jeans should be tough. Simple as that.
As you often say, it's all about fit. Took me a long time to find a brand that fit like a glove, Mavi. Not cheap, but fit perfectly and are extremely well made.
Texan here, I buy wranglers because it goes with the boots and you can wear them everywhere. I also have owned Levi's and old navy over the years and they are good for extremely casual outings especially if you don't want to wear boots. Stitch fix also makes decent denim pants under their Hawker Rye label, I have a pair of dark black washes and I wear them with tennis or sneakers because of how slim the legs are.
What I love about this video is that you overview a whole bunch of brands and put them on the map for me. I think more of these kinds of videos would be cool.
You missed some of the best Japanese brands like Pure Blue Japan, Momotaro, Samurai, Iron Heart. Most are in the $200-$300 range. Super high quality amazing denim.
@@Nicholas-V this is going to be the year I buy 19oz; either Samurai or Iron Heart. My favourite pair are my 13.5 oz Fullcount unsanforized denim. The left leg has a slight twist. Also did not know they were unsanforized when I bought them. Washed them, laid out to dry, and when I put them on, I was damn they shrank. However after about an hour of wearing them, they stretched out a bit and fit beautifully. Lucky.
@@surfingmoose nice, I usually go one wash. I'm not quite brave enough for raw. I think a pair of samurai's where the pattern fades into the back pockets might be my next buy. That or some Okayama Denim collaboration, I love my Aisora's.
Re: washing in hot water. I never wash jeans or shirts (even tees) in hot water, only cold, and I hang dry. This adds years to their life. I have some incredible athletic fit tees from Banana Republic that I bought in the early 2000’s that I can still wear today!
I spent $20 recently on a pair of Wranglers. They are fine for me. I can see going higher if you want a better style or quality, but only to a point. Spending $1000 on one pair of pants is insanity.
I found a jean that fits me perfectly, levis 511, nice shape, lots of variety in colours and textures and easy to find on a variety of pre owned outlets.
A word of caution regarding selvedge under $100: I've seen some cheaper brands actually mimicking selvedge by sewing a fabric strip on the inside to make it look like selvedge. The only brands I've seen pulling actual selvedge under $100 are Uniqlo and Unbranded Brand (which for the record is the "low cost" brand of Naked & Famous).
Hey Captian, I grew up when jeans were worn for work, not for style. The two brands we bought were Levi's and Wrangler. Denim needs to be strong, especially when working outside. Today I still wear Levi's 501, I like the buttons. Semper Fi Marine.
For the less tahn $50 crowd: I've had really good luck with Lee Jeans, especially their MVP slim cut style. They are durable and have some stretch. Also: if you want your jeans to last ALWAYS wash cold and NEVER put them in the dryer!! Hang dry saves the material, stretch, etc.
I found some absolute steals from the GAP, slim tapered fit, all temp jeans. Absolutely amazing for about $20-$30. Of course It ain’t the best of the best quality, but if you take care of them, and don’t wash them after every wear, you can get whole lot of wears out of them.
I wash my jeans after a week or two of wear. I have cargo work pants that I wash regularly, but my jeans can handle the casual/leisure wear. I have found out that Old Navy jeans wear out faster than Wranglers and Levis, but who cares? I would never entertain the thought of paying more than $50 for a pair of decent jeans. Especially since my waist size fluctuates between 33-34 and I hate wearing belts.
I bought two pairs of Levi's 502 based on your detailed Levi's video. I love them! Great advice. Got them for 50 each as a new subscriber on their site.
american eagle and uniqlo are my go to’s, i have bigger leg to waist ratio so a lot of the times if it fits my waist it’s too tight in the thighs/glutes, the stretch and fit those two have are by far the best i’ve found
Antonio, as a guy who has been around the denim block a time or three, I can tell you the quest for the perfect fit of jeans is like searching for the holy grail. That said: Revtown rocks! I can speak to their jeans' quality, feel, and glute-hugging magnificence -- perfect for my bod. They also have a fantastic selection (great chinos, too!), and I love the pricing. For higher-end goods, and jeans with a little bit o' stretch, I favor 34 Heritage. Pricey, yes, but worth it. They also look a bit dressier than other elastane-infused styles I've seen. Plus, they hold up better after washing. You can expect to spend between $160.00 and $230.00, depending on the features and, of course, the season.
I have several pairs of Diamond Gusset jeans. US made. They appear have been struggling the last few years, I can’t find my size right now but when I could get what I needed their customer service was great. They are comfortable long-lasting and under $100. Worth checking out.
My white introduced me to Poshmark and it changed my life you can find premium denim for a fraction of the price and often brand new with tags still on.
I've had only one pair of jeans for years and they were light blue Wranglers. they stretched a bit, but are durable, comfortable, rugged and except for paint they were always easy to wash.
I buy gustins for like 100 or 120. They last 4 or 5 years if you take care of them properly, don't dry in the dryer. I don't rinse them either before I wear.
I for one prefer 7 For All Mankind. Good quality brand, and at my local store they run discounts and $130.00 jeans are on clearance. My go too brand, but you can find some nice stuff on Amazon too.
i get jeans from various quality & price points for different occasions: low-affordable = H&M mid = Express upper-mid = Armani Exchange upper = Emporio Armani (i know Armani isn't the best quality, but he's my fave designer since the Untouchables film 😆) that being said, never pay retail for clothes... i always wait until clothes are discounted at least 40% off
@@parisloyo Retailmenot is amazing, and I also find good deals on Coupon Cabin. The other coupon sites aren't nearly as reliable. For automatic discounts, I prefer Capitol One; Rakuten has often stiffed me when I use a coupon code when ordering. Evidently, some retailers won't recognize the Rakuten discount if an additional discount is given. I haven't had that trouble with Cap1.
I recently got a nice pair of Bonobos on sale for $69. The size was too big so I returned them to the store and got fit advice from a very knowledgeable staff. Found my perfect fit. I’m looking at some new things on sale from their website. 🥳👍
Nudie Jeans are my favorite. Founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, the city where I currently live. Fantastic quality, great fit and free repairs. If you like, you can trade in your old Nudies and get 20% off on a new pair. They'll repair your old jeans and sell them on at a reasonable price. I recently found a pair of raw Nudies online for the equivalent of roughly 50 bucks, they are my favorite pair of jeans I've ever had and were a fantastic deal!
i love raw denim. My first lesson in clothing quality came from my grandfather. He had old pants that didnt fit him, but still in great condition. That old denim was way better than modern options.
There's a guy, who back in my twenties brought Levi's 501s and Wranglers Jeans only . I now favor Arizona Jeans to purchase. A great price, fit and pretty good quality.
In India we have many major brands, the go-to brand for my son is Wrangler most of the time which is good for office work too (plain and simple colours), levis on the other hand is good for the fashion statements ps many brands mentioned on this video were tried by him but Wrangler was the go-to for him since grade 9... Best bang for the buck, works for 4+ years. Agree on most of the points told by you here in the video.
Recently bought a pair of Brave Star. They're great. So are the Unbranded. Bonobos chinos are fantastic. My Calvin Klein jeans are much too thin, but beautiful and comfortable. Every pair rips at the knee within a year so I reserve them for certain situations. I still rock some Levi's but mine are all from the late 90s and early 2000s. The denim is really thick. I think for most people, if you have chinos and other pants, you only need 2-4 pairs of jeans in different shades. Maybe a black, 2-3 blues, and maybe a gray. Definitely would recommend the dark blue denim. Do a full leg workout in them to break them in. 100 squats while holding them up so they don't form a sag, same with sitting, get em broken in. Great video. Great advice. You can't beat the mass made pants for workwear that's going to get ruined like Levi's/ wrangler/Lee.
@@RealMenRealStyle I think that if it’s a pair that you really like then you shall buy it. But the economic state in my country is very bad at the moment so I try to spend as little as possible👍
Levis 501s on sale for $50, there is no other. (Although I cheated and got some Wrangler dark stretch at WalMart for $20 which fit me like a glove, perfect waist and perfect length, so no tailoring. Drove around Vancouver that evening and bought every pair in my size from every store, 12 in total.) When you find something that fits, buy multiples of that item.
I have had good results with "Texas Jeans". Good quality, good fit, comfortable, under $50 a pair, made in the USA. Never had a complaint over the past 10 plus years.
Being a bigger guy, there are very few brands that I like and fit me well. Just about every pair in my closet is from Lucky Brand. They've changed over the years, but their fit works for me. Even better if you can thrift a vintage pair.
So happy to see this video. I’ve been wearing Calvin Klein jeans for years and absolutely love them. Definite go to and my favorite brand that hold up well, look good, and make me feel amazing. Sadly, I’ve put on some extra weight the last couple years so I don’t fit into the 36x34 that I used to and they don’t seem to have a good 40x34. Looking to get a pair of Revtown jeans now to use while I focus on my health and get back down into fitting in my CK jeans.
As someone who works in a physically demanding Shipping & Receiving environment, I wear Wranglers and Dickies mostly. On the weekends when dressing up for things like Mass or just going out, I am much more likely to grab some chinos or wool trousers. To me, it just simply isn't desirable to wear even high-end denim in my time off work, so therefore work jeans are what I go for.
I like Lee and Dickies, it's easy to find cheap jeans that fit me well and hold up. One day, I'd like to buy an expensive pair for dressing up, but I am on a budget. I've tried clothing from The Goodfellows brand at Target; I find their pants don't really fit my body type (chubby, tall but with short limbs- I'm 6'2" with a 29 inch inseam and 41" waist), but their shirts fit me really well. They don't hold up for a long time, but I've had people compliment my $10 t-shirts and $15 casual button-ups from that line.
I would love a video on where to buy quality “Off the Rack Suits” outside of suit supply. I love their suits, but they are often trippin on the prices.
I got a pair of unbranded just before the summer, it was my first foray into raw denim. Most of the jeans I have owned have been cheapo, lightweight, jeans with elastic in them (my last jeans were Old Navy in fact). My unbranded are 100% cotton, 14.5 ounce denim and the first few weeks I was wearing them I felt like I have made a mistake buying these expensive, stiff, heavy jeans. But now a few months later they are awesome, I have no regrets. I in fact just picked up another pair of expensive raw denim jeans from their sister company Naked and Famous. Others mileage may vary.
I like your videos (subscribed). I think your style takes a hit when you stand on the turntable (reminds me of cake decorating). I think it would be better to walk around naturally in front of the camera when modelling an outfit.
There are some great made in America jeans for $50 bucks in Chicago. Place is called Dearborn Denim they’ve got stretch and non stretch and they weave their own denim and make their own jeans. I’ve got two pairs of stretch jeans and I where them almost every day
So, just in case no one is aware... believe it or not, Costco has some crazy tough jeans for men under the Kirkland brand. For an unbelieve $10 a pair. No need for bargains. No need for sales. Regular price $10!!! And they are 100% cotton. They are really durable jeans. They have average sizes. They are amazing for $10 I own 6 of them. Crease them up and cuddle them. With a white T.
I’ll prob spend up to $150 - $200 on a pair. I always look at the materials, construction, where it’s made, etc. So if it’s a nice medium-heavyweight 100% cotton selvedge pair made in the USA, and it doesn’t have a bunch of tacky branding/logos, I’ll prob drop $200 on them.
The “Tar-get’” pronunciation killed me! Honestly I use Walmart’s George jeans for work, and I’ve learned the Goodfellow & Co. jeans are stylish and comfortable.
My signature pair of jeans are a pair of true religions that I managed to find at a thrift shop, barely used, at about $20. They fit me perfectly and they work amazingly for when I need to go out for social events, since I refuse to wear them for work (team sweatpants!)
Just started the video. I ordered 2 pairs of jeans from Duer and am expecting them in the mail today. $129 each… Never tried a pair on before but hopefully I made a good choice! I’m a 30x32, 6ft and 180lbs. I’m not huge but I do workout, so well fitting jeans are a tough find. I’ve been wearing American Eagle jeans, which I like a lot, but I’m 26 and they’re a little more youthful/distressed than I’d like. Levi’s are also great value but not enough stretch in the seat for me
Looking for some recommendations for brands of jeans, preferably other than Levi's, for a 56-year-old male, 5'9" and 130 pounds. Looking for something not too expensive and definitely not in the cheap price range. Thanks in advance.
I really like your video. What are your thoughts about Eddie Bauer jeans? I’ve been buying them for over 20 years, never disappointed. Good price/quality, decent style.
Seriously?! Dior Homme! The best. Handmade, and fitted to one's body- when you put on a pair you feel the difference, who cares they are $600+. I actually have some insured because they have tripled in value since I bought them- and I wear them wherever, whenever. Gorgeous material, detail, and the way they fit/ feel on.
This isn't a question about jeans but I need help, I do unbutton my dress shirt without a tie but only the top. Is that an acceptable look with a sport jacket?
I don't understand why Levi's jeans are so expensive in Europe: a pair of 512 is between 110 and 140€ (quite the same in $). What could explain this difference? And where to buy LEvi's jeans at a cheapest price?
I disagree. It depends on your size. I need a 33 waist and 36 leg. You cannot get those jeans at most places you mention. For us taller people, options are limited. I get mine from Bootlegger in Canada. They offer a few with 36 leg. And I’m lucky to get them for less than $100. I’d rather pay less somewhere else, but unless you’re shorter and chubbier, it’s not easy.
