You know what I've never been able to find? The perfect pair of jeans. I've come pretty close, but still not perfect. They're my blue, now-faded Levi 511s. I love them. I've got another pair in black - same size, yet they just aren't the same as my original blue ones. You'd think there wouldn't be anything different with the fit of a blue 511 vs. a black 511, both 32x30, right? Wrong. The black ones have a wider straight cut leg. Weird.
I've had pairs from Express, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, Guess, nothing has won me over. Secretly, or maybe not so secret, I wish I looked like one of those Abercrombie models. Will my jeans make me look that way? Oh no. Any piece of clothing can make you look good on the outside, but show some skin and it's still your body. Great...
Flip through a GQ and of course I'm going to see at least one model wearing the perfectly fitting pair of jeans. Maybe it's my body. Do I just not fit model standards? Here's the big kicker most likely - I don't have the money to spend on an excellent pair of jeans. Diesel is my desirable denim company. However, there's no way I can afford a decent pair, or even one leg of Diesel jeans.
Pants are arguably my favorite of all items to wear, second to swimsuits. I will not buy a pair unless they are worth the cost. I learned that the hard way. Sometimes it was the other way around. I used the cost to justify the fit, or lack-there-of.
All these brands though are huge companies that mass produce their jeans. Anyone know of a smaller, more personal company through whom I could get the perfect pair? I know they're going to be expensive, but maybe it's about time I bit the bullet and paid more for that one pair I will wear into the ground.
