A community dedicated to buying Canadian products.
I wear these because they fit me, but they don't last, at all. I had a pair go (in the crotch, rubby thighs) within a year of purchasing, and I was wearing them in a 2 jean rotation with occasional other pants. When I bought silver jeans maybe 15 years ago they seemed to last forever, now they are a consumable.
But I still buy them when they are BOGO or on clearance. If I find another pair of jeans that fit as well I won't hesitate to try them out.
Site sabotages the back button... scummy. Also holy popups Batman
Honestly if you are complaining about pop ups on every site maybe you should just install ublock origin like the rest of us. Just a suggestion 👍
I have it for Firefox, but I browse Lemmy in Connect
Anyone got any experience with the quality? Will it their products last a while?
My favourite pair of jeans are Silver and I’ve worn them for at least 5 years. The crotch is starting to wear in the same place all my jeans eventually do.
The thing I like the most is how soft the denim continues to feel. Some jeans are a lot rougher but these don’t even really feel like denim.
How nostalgic. Haven't seen those in a while. They were thick (not flimsy) and solid quality when I knew people who worked at Western Glove Works, and when I used to hit their store in the Exchange District, but that was many years back. Just checked and I notice they seem to have another brand called "Jag" now on the WGW site. There are Google Reviews under the WGW name that mention Silver.
*edit - Actually I just remembered Jag isn't that new, I saw them in the store too. Those probably just didn't have my size.
Not that it's a guarantee of quality but any means, but they had a moment of catering to Hollywood types in the mid-2000s.
I don't think I've owned a pair, myself.
I had silver jeans back in high school. They lasted me 10 years until I grew too wide for them. Nice quality, solid stitching.
Going to throw this in here: https://benviapiana.com/ if you want Canadian custom made denim from Toronto.
Scroll down and click on the very first collab link... leads to a 404 not found 😂
Oh that's strange. They're legit themselves though.
I should fucking hope so for $625 per pair
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they're made to order. Not for everyone.
Yoga Jeans are also Canadian made. If you like your jeans stretchy, they’re a good option. They have long inseams for us talks too.
Just checked them out, they appear to be 100% women's styles. Also pop-up ads, ew.
https://www.nakedandfamousdenim.com/en/about also make their stuff in Canada if anybody is looking for some jeans.
$165 for a pair of jeans?
neat looking stuff but wow, uh... naw

I've had a few pairs that I'd still be wearing if they still fit. Meanwhile, I've destroyed several cheaper pairs from other brands.
Love Vime's Boot's theory, but I'm wearing $18 Urban Star Jeans from Costco, at work, in an industrial facility, that are over 5 years old. There needs to be a serious step up in quality to justify $165.
