Levi's 501 Button fly i hate zippers so it works for me, plus when they start to wear u pull the top button out and all the others slip out so my junk just fall out of em its an awesome feeling.

I only own one pair of jeans I always where shorts even in dec & jan because it's too effen hot here

seven for all mankind...only when I find them on sale, most comfortable jeans I've owned. I have a couple pairs of TR and the original R&R when I go out in the city, but they aren't daily drivers

Levis 514's fer days

[mrsleeve]

levis 550's and what ever is cheapest in a "relaxed fit" from kmart for work, normally Wranglers.

I want to try some Duluth Trading once I need to start replacing some of them.......

Joes jeans fit me best.

I have been rocking Levi 508's for the past year or so. They are slim jeans that taper inwards at the knees. Pretty much the opposite of the 514. They sit below the waist, so you would probably have to rely on a belt to keep them up if your lower half resembles that of a chicken.

Mr. F34R, my first suggestion is to get the best fitting jeans you currently own, and measure them for waist size (flat), inseam, front rise, and back rise. Each of these measurements go a long way in determining fit. Better jeans will definitely specify these measurements, if not on the manufacturers' website, definitely on a resellers'. Please post pictures of yourself wearing said jeans. It's more than likely they are too baggy. See: e28.slammin. He wears what appears to be a mix of JNCO and mom jeans.

If your inseam is around 32 - 34", then you can run them with a cuff or no cuff. Any more than that and it will look weird to cuff. I prefer denim to be properly hemmed.

With raw selvedge, determine if they are sanforized or not. It will map out how you treat them from the day you buy them. Naked and Famous are sanforized and will not shrink too much. If you can get away with wearing them cuffed until they break in a bit, then do it. They will shrink more in length than width. If they are unsanforized, definitely soak them before wearing and especially before tailoring them.

There are many procedures on the internet for soaking, but be forewarned--many procedures are simply overly complicated and make denim to look more complicated and esoteric than it really is. Jeans are jeans. Denim dyed with indigo will fade, but as long as you run them in a cold gentle cycle they won't lose much dye not be worse for the wear. Cheaper denim will fade a lot quicker.

Hahaha, I think I've shown my ass enough on this forum

I usually just buy whatever fits best, which happens to mostly be Levi brand. I don't like spending a whole lot of money on jeans so sometimes I'll hit up Goodwill or likewise for some $5 pants and I'll have them tailored. I have dat ass for whatever reason, so it's tough to find pants that fit well right off the rack.

I am not against a goodwill or salvation army at all. Clothes are clothes to me, it is just the area I live in is very poor. Binghamton has been going belly up since IBM pulled up roots and most of every major corp has died off.

The pickings are NOTHING like what I found in FL, they have such amazing expensive clothes for next to nothing. You can pick up over 2k in clothes and drop maybe 100.00 total! I found a pair of Alden wing tips in a size 12 there too. I was so upset...so close yet so far away.

Calvin Klein straight, or Express Photographer cut, shapes them curves.

We have an express here, I never tried on their jeans before.
