I buy the Levi's at Target. They are not the same as 550's or 599 or whatever. I think they call them Levi Signature. I get the Relaxed fit. Good pockets and room for your CCW.
Plus they are between $20-$25. IBTLH (in before the Levi haters) |

Yup. I hate Levi's. The only pants that fit me well are the Carhartt carpenter pants. And those are getting harder to find. I think everybody must be a fat migdet also. It seems like every time I go to find pants the only size they have is a 48 inch waist and 30 inch leg.

You do realize that Levi's funds a PAC that supports gun control?
Try Wranglers. Cheaper and they fit better. |

I don't buy Levis because of their antigun politics. I do have a few pair that people got me for Christmas though.

I prefer the Wrangler carpenter jeans. Nice and roomy with big pockets.

Levi's never seem to fit right. Wranglers or Carhartts for me.

The cheap Wranglers fit me better and last just as long (and a can prevent guilt about wearing stuff from an anti gun company.) That said I very rarely wear jeans, when it's not shorts its Carharts or Wrangler fishing pants.

Just dont forget that Carhartt, like just about everything else these days, are made somewhere else, like Mexico or China, and not made in the USA. I wear Carhartt jeans or cargo shorts/pants 99% of the time. Levi=Debbil  |

Finding jeans that fit well is a real chore these days, especially with so-called "vanity sizing" that is becoming prevalent in men's clothing. Vanity sizing is basically specifying a size that is Y sizes smaller than the true size, so you can say that you wear a size X when you actually wear size X+Y. Example: my "true" waist size is somewhere between 30-32. I can get away with size 30 in most jeans (e.g. Lucky Brand) even though they are a bit loose. Enter APC, with "vanity sizing". I wear a size 28 (!!!) in APC Rescues, which is effectively sizing down FOUR whole sizes from my true waist. I haven't worn size 28 jeans since college but apparently I can do so again, at the ripe old age of 36. It's getting to a point where you can't just order your regular size off the Internet any more; you have to go in-store to try them on (which I hate).  PS no Levi's for me, they are anti-gun. |

It seems all clothing sizes are screwed up these days. The mexicans just cant seem to get it right. I have medium sized t-shirts left over from years ago that are the same size as the XL ones that I wear today and I also dont have one pair of jeans that fit the same as another.

Agreed. I hate shopping for clothes. I hate trying on everything even more. I'd used to grab a few of the same thing and go try one on. Have to try each and every single item on because they vary in size so much.

I have a pair of Levis that are LOOSE on me, bought about 5 years ago... I go to buy a new pair, same exact model and size, and they don't pass half of my tights... WTF... I know I packed a few pounds from 5 years ago, so I don't mind buying a bigger size, but making the same sizes WAY smaller is BS.

I believe that given that most of the rest of the world uses the metric system, you get some interesting sizing on stuff made overseas.

I've actually found that I can get about two to three years out of a pair of Wranglers, which is more than I can say for any pair of Levis that I ever had. |

Unfortunately I've started seeing it in some US-made jeans as well.  I have three pairs of US-made* Lucky Jeans. All are "vintage straight fit" (different washes, tho) so it's not a matter of a different cut. Two of them I can wear without a belt, but the other one would fall down if I tried to wear them sans belt. WTF?In addition, all three are sized 30 (waist) but they actually measure 32 in the waist. Again, WTF ... I may try Rag & Bone jeans next ... sewn in North Carolina so mebbe those guys know how to keep a consistent cut. *: not all Lucky's are US-made. |

You are all some brutal mofos! I had to laugh too! I am actually skinnier now than I was 3 years ago though. and yeah...I just grabbed them form the stack and was like, "Ye'up 550s 34, 32! Because I hate the mall. |
