The perfect fit?

Finding the right pair of jeans has always been a dilemma for me. Years ago at the end of high school I was a loyal Levi 501 boy. Now, I’ve tried many different brands and most of them feel like they are up around my nipples somewhere. While trying not to look like someone desperately clinging to their long-gone youth, I also don’t want to be wearing the kind of jeans my father could wear.

I had a fantastic pair of Diesels that I bought about 5 years ago but they finally gave up the ghost about two years ago after intensive wearing, I just wore them out. I’ve had another pair of diesels that I bought on sale, because I just can’t justify that kind of money on jeans, but they were the ones that ripped recently and needed replacing. SO, I found a style that fits me really well, I like them, and, heaven forbid, they aren’t as expensive as my car, which isn’t as much of a stretch as it sounds. I had a pale wash pair of Lee L2′s, and today I bought the same style in a different colour. It’s such a personal thing with jeans, we wear them so much, they have to make you feel good or you are going out feeling less than your best.

    Hey Brenton :) When you get a chance… Try on a pair of Levi 527, low rise, great butt jeans… I think you would really like them.

    Well, I typed a long comment and it was lost somehow. Damn it. What I said was that with my small, but cute, ass and less-than-beefy thighs and legs, it’s hard to fit into the typical oversized, baggy jeans nowadays. And I hate to look and look, spend the $$$, and they STILL don’t fit. Plus, truth be told, I’d rather be naked.

    I agree with the Levi 527′s. Can’t find them here in Oz though. My other favs are Lucky Brand available at DJs. Nice thing is that Lucky come in 3 different lengths which is nice since I need longer legs.

    My main gripe is that Levi is no longer made in USA! They are made in fucking Mexico (phtew!), which I will not have. so, my only hope is finding used ones in thrift stores that are in decent shape, that were made here. And, I was lucky to find a great pair of Structure jeans that were made in USA once, too! Yay for bargains…Yay for the USA!
    If only I could still wear 28s instead of 30s now….time is an evil bitch!
