Good jeans shops in london

It’s me birthday today and I’m going to treat myself to some new jeans, anyone know any good shops where I can buy a decent pair of Levis, Lee or similar? Preferably not too far from Hackney. Cheers!

maybe the levi's store?

is there a levis shop in or near hackney?

Carhartt store in Ellingfort road?

Hi Jay.

Go speak to Adam in American Classics, Covent Garden. Cracking bloke and really knows his Levi's. He's been in the game for years.

Disclaimer: they'll still wear out on the ball area after a certain amount of riding miles.

And will charge you an effin' fortune... Go over the road to Interstate and pick up a pair of Edwins... Or closer to you, Three Threads on Charlotte Road have some sale Edwins in stock, Interstate'll probably be cheaper...

Three Threads on Charlotte Road

+1

Madhouse have a nice selection IMHO.

CINCH - Newburgh St

Interstate even though Edwin Nashvilles are now 90 quid or something when they used to be 60 back when it was all fields round here and they had brass buttons.

Or get the japan made Uniqlo selvage for 50 or their chinese made selvage for 30; best value out there.

+1 on the uniqlo jap jeans. Half the price of APC rescue.
Or if money no probs: the best...

another +1 on the made in japan uniqlo selvage jeans they are top notch, a real steal for the money. If youre feeling really flush though, head over to Present in shoreditch and get yourself some studio d'artisans

Good call on Studio D'Artisans, had mine for over 10 years and still going strong... APC English cut are lovely too... Mucho moolah tho'... Sugar Cane/Buzz Rickson also very nice, and Warehouse if you can find them... The current vintage Levi's are shit, avoid... Only heard good things about the Jap Uniqlos...

Matalan are good too. Go for the elasticated waist, that way you can eat/drink what you want and not worry.

had mine for over 10 years and still going strong....

How often have you worn these in 10 years?

well he don't ride in 'em.

Ha. I ask as I'm off out to buy some new jeans today. If that brand are gonna stand up to every day (actually every day) wear for several years I'm definitely gonna try a pair on.

Nice, cheers guys. Im going to check these places out, probably not all today but maybe next week. I just had a very stressful time at the Carhartt Warehouse, they had lots and lots of very nice Levis, Edwin and Carhartts but nothing in 32 32. Probably the most dissapointing shopping trip ever. Amazing shop and amazingprices, just not very good for people with 32 32 dimensions. I guess that is because they sell all of those in their highstreet stores.

Those uniqlo sound like the ones for me but Im not up for oxford street on a sat.

Shut up, Murts... I don't ride in them anymore tbf and I have had them repaired in the crotch once already, I've got so many different pairs they get rotated a lot anyway... In the last coupla years I've been riding in any old cheap black jeans, I destroyed a pair of lovely Tsubi DeeDees on the bike... Shame that...
