Yeah but if he can try in a shop it's better. I'll show him uniqlo.

Yeah but in town, on Oxford Street. I hate going there.

then low price, high quality selvedge jeans will be forever denied to you .

Or you could order them online.

What is this "selvedge" I see talk of?

 

[killer b]

The edge of a roll of denim - in most cases it's white with a red stitch through it. Better quality denim is (generally) woven on narrow looms, and the selvedge is used in the construction - the outside leg seam, sometimes inside the coin pocket.

It's not the mark of quality it once was, but it makes your turnups look nicer if nothing else...

As has been said, it's very hit and miss especially for awkward sizes.

Plus, I live in the provinces. We have to travel if we don't want to shop at Burtons or Primark. [emoji6]

 

[Orang Utan]

I don't think I've ever been in a Primark. and not a Burton's since I was a teen.

 

[Looby]

It was kind of a joke, I was moaning about the lack of choice in nearby shopping centres. The nearest Levi shop is 35 miles away.

Uniqlo women's jeans are excellent; I can't comment on the men's.

It doesn't belong in the same sentence as high street.

 

[ringo]

Just got some from Carhartt after a long trawl round the shops.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Got a nice pair in River Island the other week. They weren't skinny, but "Slim" fit....the first slim fit jeans I've had in about 23 years! About £45 I think.

 

[chilango]

Well, after trawling all kinds of shops/brands I ended up getting lucky at TK!

Managed to some Diesel jeans and (to my surprise) some selvedge Superdry that both fitted perfectly. I've noted the styles for future reference.

Mr s ended up getting two pairs of Levi 541s from the outlet shop. They were brilliant in there, knew all the products really well and found him some that were a great fit and length. 2 for 99 quid. [emoji41] He also got some DM boots and I'm really jealous. They were 60 quid with my student discount and I want them so badly. 60 bloody miles to go back though. [emoji35]
He's been up there getting me to help him with turn ups and lacing his boots. [emoji5]️

Swit swoo... Bet it's a real confidence boost for him

Definitely. [emoji4]

Quick tip - I assume it's the same everywhere as they're in the Preston and Manchester TKMaxx stores, but there's a shitload of All Saints jeans in selvedge denim for £9.99 in at the moment - I have a pair from a few seasons ago and can vouch for them being decent quality, and at that price...
