premium denim, your favorite? Options

[transcendentalis...]

is it really worth the price?
where do you usually purchase premium denim?
why do you prefer (some brand) over another?

blahblah, i don't know if i should invest or not.

I'm going to assume that you mean expensive jeans? Like 7's, TRs (True Religion), Antiks, R&R's, Paige Denim, etc., right?

Yea, I have about 6 pairs, but I haven't bought one at full price yet. I actually got two pairs at an outlet, and the rest were either bought for me or I paid very little for them. Sales, you know how it is.

I prefer 7's and TRs because they true to size most of the time. I even found a size 23 7 for all mankind, which is almost impossible to find. Antik Denim are too big for me, and I've only been able to fit into 1 pair of R&Rs, so good thing I bought that one. 7's and True Religions are more slim fitted.

I got one at Nordstrom's at a semi-annual sale, and others from other random places.

They're definitely worth it, depending on how you take care of them. I mean, if you wear them constantly, of course they're going to wear out. I like them because even though I have to tailor the length, at least it fits my thighs, waist, and hips. I can't even find cheap jeans that fit me, so I use that as an excuse to splurge.


Oh yea, and then there's the DPDs from Express. They have Deluxe Premium Denim and they look amazing on everyone that has tried them on (as long as they are trying on the right size). They're also a fraction of the price, running aroud $88 - $98, rather than $198+. Too bad I can't fit any because they're too big for me. T_T
