nearly all my jeans for nearly the last 15yrs or so, have been Nudie jeans. They have generally lasted very well and the repair service is grand. However, different colours of the same fit are not the same fit and donāt all last as well as others! It has been quite difficult to sort that out unless you are in the shop to try them on which is a real pain. Similarly, some shrink differently to others too. Unfortunately I havenāt found an alternative yet. So as an initial fit, they do for me just that they might not all last as I hope which is an issue.
Iāve been a fan of Edwin jeans for decades. If you like their style, give them a try.

Itās also about simple stuff like belt loops. I have worn jeans (mostly Leviās) almost daily for two decades or more, and I donāt recall ever having a belt loop break. On my Nudies itās happened multiple times. An easy fix of course, but I think it does say something about the quality.
Iāll keep wearing (and have them repair) these, but I donāt think Iāll be buying another pair anytime soon.
@Andreas.ca Iāll have a look at Edwin, thanks for the recommendation.

Quality must have gone down. I have two pairs that are both over 10 years old with no issues at all.

Some styles of jeans in the designer market brands use elastine, blended fibres and higher quality/finer yarn to produce a better look and feel. Thereās also the pre-washing and distressing that they do. This results in a less hard-wearing item.
Also, the high-end jeans are made by hand and vary in size and length.
Having nurtured a bit of a beer belly, I have gone off Nudie jeans - as their Styles mostly have a high waist, they tend to drop lower around my waist giving a flappy bottom and hems - which was a fashion in my 20s 
but a look I try to avoid nowadays.
Im not sure the flapping bottom is due to the cut of the jeans. 
LOL

Not sure you need to have jeans for that problem to arise.

Whilst weāre talking about appearances, this is the best aftershave balm. It calms better than anything else Iāve tried, hydrates, doesnāt leave a sticky residue and smells great.
Castle Forbes 1445 aftershave and a great pair of designer jeans. Itās an elite combination that never fails to unbutton blouses. Alley_Cat?

Cool. I didnāt know there was more than one batch.
Or use Siri AI 
Sorry Iām missing something here.
If you donāt know - use Siri AI - identified picture straight away, described it with brief history and offered website. All in the blink of an iPhone
Chap in the Apple store showed me that the other day - he said if youāre interested in clothes/shoes etc just use it to identigy the brand and vendors - he then demonstrated with his trainers.
Is there a danger it might detect individuals say if you pointed the phone at a person who had a photographic online presence?
Looks interesting. I think Iād struggle to fit into designer jeans at the moment though and in recent years shave pretty infrequently as I think I look younger with several days of stubble.
I suppose I could unbutton my blouse though

Ok folks what do you consider the best thing when doing laundry to get fat stains out of clothes?
Read an interesting newspaper article the other day suggesting liquid washing formulations are not as good as powders. In all honesty these days I tend to go for liquid preparations which I feel have a pleasant non overpowering smell - something which is undoubtedly personal but far too many products these days seem to make clothes stink strongly of unpleasant chemical smells.
So for fat stains on dark clothing (mostly navy T shirts for me) whatās the best pre-wash treatment these days?
Is it a weight/exercise tool or something to stick a hexagonal bit into?
