I went to buy a couple pairs of levi 501 jeans and they were £55 each at Debenams, they have got to available cheaper than that somewhere else!

I might be turning into an olde fart here but £55 seems mega expensive to me

Cheers
David

Levis

and some nice boots!

What is this obsession with labels in this country?

Jeans is jeans. They all come from a factory in China anyway, whether they're a pound a pair or a hundred.

What you spend depends on how gullible you are

I find that the budget jeans from Tesco, Asda etc are every bit as good as the label slave versions, but how do you think they can make a pair of jeans for £3??? Slave labour basically - somewhere in a Chinese sweat shop, there are hundreds of kids on almost no wages and long hours, being practically forced to produce these garments for a company that makes very little profit, so that the likes of us can benefit.

Something very wrong there don't you think? There is a school of thought which says is better to buy a 'label' sometimes because the factory making them has installed recognised working standards and treat their employees accordingly.

Just food for thought ....

Thanks everyone,
I have tried various cheap brands of black jeans over the years and found first wash they go a milky black colour and look awful, the Levis can be washed loads before being the colour even starts to fade.

That's why I buy them but not at £55

I shall try Gun Wharf keys or wait for a sale

Yep Levis for me last longer, so much so that it's not worth getting the cheap jeans.. I normally ware the fabric out on the cheap ones...

But I always buy from outlet centers, during the sales...

Check out the link at the bottom of the page£39.99 for black 501s

I buy whatever jeans I like the cut, fit and style of. Sometimes they're as little as £20 a pair, sometimes they're £100 and also have a label. Do I care what anyone else thinks either way?............... Nope, I couldn't care less. I've earned it, so I'll spend it on whatever I see fit.

in florida there was (is) a levi seconds store selling them for about $25 a pair! Needless to say i came back with a heavy case, as did swimbo! You do need to pay attention as to what the defect is though, some are awful and some are unnoticeable.
