For jeans I like Cheap Monday(nice cuts for cheap prices), Nudie(again nice cuts but run around 100$ a pair) and Diesel(arguably the nicest designer jeans in my opinion)

apc raw denims, wear the shit out of them they are stiff as hell when you first get them but once you wear them non stop and get them their first wash which you're not supposed to do for a good 6 months. Once you make it to that point tho you will never have a better looking and fitting pair of jeans. They're around 200 a pair up here but well worth it unlike most trendy jeans who just charge 200 bucks for the name, these are quality denim.

For a little more dressy but times when I dont want to wear something really expensive, so clubs, and anywhere there is smoke. Varvatos, or something like that.

I have some trousers that I got made that are higher end dress pants for when I don't want to get suited up or rock a blazer but those times are far and few in between as if I'm going to dress up I usually just go all the way with it.

Jeans are not pants.

I tend to disagree that pants are that important as the OP says. The blazer is a much bigger deal in terms of fit, etc. Any tailor can make most pants look decent and fitted. Just the fact that you're not wearing jeans out sets you apart.

That said. I've found that the $69 Calvin Klein or Perry Ellis 'suit separates' at Macy's works just fine. I buy a size slightly up so my tailor can adjust them to me better. She likes a little extra to work with. I think the best time of year to find them is President's Day weekend. Best sales.

after many years I have found the perfect pants. I too have hockey butt, huge thighs and legs, which makes finding and fitting pants a Tough thing. For suits I am better off getting custom made, for regular pants I usually have to go up a size or two in slim fit to find the optimal fit. I wear these on the weekends http://www.kuhl.com/kuhl/mens/pants/

Dress pants without wearing a suit look dorky and I refuse to wear them anymore.

I also got into raw denim a few years ago. I found these after trying APC and AG's, which blew out fast and looked bad after a short time. I found RRL by Ralph Lauren, made of Japanese denim. I buy the raw and black pair, and have three pair now, that I wear to work usually with dress shoes and tucked or untucked dress shirt. My first pair are two years old, have worn them 300+, hand washed maybe 10x in my bath tub, and the fade is awesome. The crotch blew out about a month ago, and the RRL store fixed it for free! Now these arent cheap($225), but a few things; they will last you 5+ years easy, probably more if you hand wash occasionally. They are made from the best denim, look the best, imho the best jeans made. Have three pair for work and dont plan on buying another pair for years. If you are looking for a nice pair to go out in, esp the black ones, these are it.

Im not a huge fan of rrls personally and Ill expand on that below. But to clarify, most raw denim brands use Japanese Denim this isnt particular to Ralph Lauren, in fact RRL made the switch back to American cone denim last year, you will notice a downgrade in their denim from years past, far lighter, and just inferior, stock of the old Japanese denims is dwindling so expect rrl durablity to take a hit over the next couple years. APC and Nudie for example both use Japanese Denim and still do as do countless other brands. Your blowout issues with apc is easily explained, theyre quality denim but they are a lightweight denim, made for comfort and lighter weather, if youre hard on your jeans then a denser denim would be a better fit for you and rrls were denser but for those who arent particularly hard on their denim they get great wear out of the mid price apcs relative to the dollar spent, which is why I recommend them frequently, not many jeans that are sub 200 that have that quality. My biggest issue with RRL prior the denim switch was that they were an in between jean, they dont stand out in any one aspect, they lack the quality of a top tier jean, Ive got 2 pair of iron hearts, a pair of samurais, a pair of red clouds and another pair of japan blues and the production value and detail is far superior, they fade better and last longer, all around better denims even more so now with the cone denim being used by rrl. The top tier japanese brands come with a higher price point than rrls but you can find them for around 350 to even sub 350 if you look (some will be higher but red clouds are cheap if you can get your hands on any I got mine out of china from a friend and distribution outside of china is scarce but grab them if you can) and thats like going from an entry level beamer to a Lambo... for less than 100 bucks, over the life of the jeans thatll workout to less than 20 bucks a year on the high end and most likely less than that again unless youre very hard on your jeans. Then on the flipside RRL compared to apc or nudie or 3sixteens, they were a heavier denim so they did last longer but the latter 3 are trendier brands and have younger styling in mind and from a comfort point outperform which is why I believe that RRL went to american denim, to find a more wearable denim and compete in the more lucrative lightweight denim market vs the high end denim market which it was positioned badly for. Ive got 2 pairs of 3sixteens that are awesome, the fade is just sick, they are easily the jeans I get the most compliments on but from a value standpoint they suck as theyre not any better than apcs in terms of denim and construction, both lighterweight jeans. Comes down to what you like, what fits you and where your price point is but I believe there are better quality jeans and better wearing jeans but rrls are a good hybrid jean between cost and performance, or at least were, the american made denim if it is as light as it feels might just make it an overpriced mid tier jean instead of a well priced lower top tier jean. My thinking is id rather spend a bit more and get better quality or if im going to skimp on quality then im getting better comfort instead of middling on both but then im not hard on my jeans, that could change my perspective on the lighter weight brands.

Levi's 511 with Japanese Denim (mostly Japanese denim available in Singapore). Also an Armani Exchange, but doesn't look as good.

awesome post dude, I am going to have to hit you up next time I buy more. I did notice when they went over to American cone, and bought the last Japanese they had in stock at the RRL store here. I really didnt like the American version, and these were my first foray into high end denim. When I buy my next pair I will try the higher end, I like anything over 14oz. The lightweight stuff was what I first tried, but I wore those AG's almost everyday for a year so it was due.

Quick question, the fades on the RRL's are what I would call subtle or blurry, not the crisp, high contrasting and sharp whispering you might expect. Have washed this pair maybe 10x cold water, hang dry, worn 300+. I have seen this with other guys pairs that work at the RRL store. Is this what I can expect with the heavier weight? Or is this just RRL? Do these other higher end Japanese brands do this as well? I noticed the indigo takes a long time to completely rub off, and I think because of this it runs into the fades and gives it less contrast.

So this is now the jeans thread? You guys need to step up your style game.

You can really distinguish yourself by not wearing jeans all the time like everyone else. For example,I have a pair of these- Barbour corduroys- and have gotten several compliments from girls on them , usually on how good they make my ass look

I don't know this turned into a jeans thread. Also what do you guys think about pant breaks at the shoe? I generally buy or get them hemmed for no break.

Let's talk pants

I tell my tailor "slight break". I want the hem to skim the top of the shoe giving the leg just a bit of a wrinkle at the ankle. Can't stand to see pants all crumpled on top of the shoe; I think most guys wear their pants too long

On the other hand you can go for the Thom Browne look

But I think that only will look good on guys under 22. Maybe.

The only pants I wear shorter are jeans; I think they look fine if they are ankle length and showing a bit of sock

I like to rock an assortment different colored chinos as of late. I am constaintly getting asked why I am so dressed up. I just reply that this is how I leave the house everyday. at this point I even have some co-signers.

I've become a really big fan of 'Jack of Spades' brand jeans. I have no idea what people pay retail for 'em, since I get 'em close-to-wholesale from a good friend. They're solid pants, though, the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn, and they've got a slight stretch so that if I gain 5-10 lbs. they're still quite comfortable.

@ Mr XY, I've got a few pairs of corduroys in the closet, no idea what brand. They're solidly constructed though and look good when paired with a nice shirt and sportcoat.

I've got a few pairs of Coppley-branded dress pants, custom-made, that cost me $100-$200 per pair. They carry some sick fabrics, including Zegna if I remember correctly.

If y'all ever have the chance to check out uniqlo, I would definitely recommend it. Not so much of a fan of their shirts and other products, but their jeans and pants in general are great.

I'm reasonably skinny, so slim fit (and tapered ends, very importantly) is the way to go. I always used to hate how baggy jeans seemed to get around my ankles, so getting a tapered fit on my pants was a game changer, and generally a slimmer, better fitting look.

Seeing as all the talk is about jeans, they also make great chinos, I got em in khaki and dark blue. I see some people rocking the colored chino look, but that's a bit too euro for me.

If you just wanna keep it simple and look good, a well-fitting pair of khaki chinos and a black v-neck is always a great look.
