No offence but you've just named a load of shit brands who make bad, bad jeans. Buy jeans from a brand who specialise in jeans and don't expect them to last if you ride a bike in them. Sounds like you need a pair of Edwin's. Nice entry into the world of decent jeans.
Well I used to work in a clothing retailer where we'd sell Jacob Cohen, Armani, Hugo Boss, plus a few other brands that I can't remember.
Even with a on-site tailor and loads of jeans to choose from, I could never quite find the right ones :(
Tempted to just buy another pair of jeans that last 6 months and then when they tear, just get a family member to go in and exchange them?
