How much would you pay for a pair of jeans?

I tend to run in the 80 dollar range for my Abercrombie jeans but I've spent 115+ on some really nice Lucky Brand Jeans. I wouldn't go over 200 though... probably. Not that I can afford to.
I was a khakis and cargos person until I pledged a fraternity and learned that a pair of jeans will last a whole lot longer than a pair of khakis. Now I wear $40 Eddie Bauer jeans. 
I can never find good pants! If I find pants that fit my waist they're too short and like up to my shins so I find longer pants and they're all baggy! I've seriously considered trying on womens pants because they seem longer and skinnier...but I'm a guy.
And price wise I usually spring for sales and use coupons for jeans in the clearance sections of designer stores. Usually 20-50 dollars.

Never heard of them until I tried them on at the PacSun outlet in the Outlet Mall. Called Bull head or bullhead or something like that. But, their comfy. Which is funny - until three years ago, I hadn't worn jeans in about 15 years (only cargo pants). Now, all I have are jeans - but that has more to do with a red bleeding in the wash and the crotch/leg of my cargos and shorts all being kind of pink...
I've paid £90 for some jeans before, they were miss sixty ones. But now i buy my jeans from Topshop for around £30, a much nicer price lol

Holy ****.
I usually get jeans that are around $30 USD, because I usually can't tell the difference between them and $50-100 jeans anyway. I mean, denim is denim.
I worked in a store that sold $300 jeans and $150 "sweatpants", and I honestly thought that the jeans were like all others, and the sweatpants were actually below par. We're talking anything from Prada, Boss, Triple 5 Soul, and all those other brands.
I have a pair of jeans made from the densest, nlcest, softest denim ever, and I paid only $8 USD for them. It's from a cheap store in Canada called BlueNotes, and they were having a sale. The pair I loved most just happened to be the cheapest.
And while I did say all jeans seem the same, but I do own a pair of these amazing ESPRIT jeans that have incredible detail. Even the pockets are made of this stripey material, and they're a bit faded, but not like they have a white stripe painted on each leg. Those are lame and for lame people. My pair look genuinely (but only slightly) faded, and the even the stitching is incredible. They're cut great, and have all the right details in all the right places. Incredible.
I bought them in Hong Kong. Price on sale.......$40 USD.
The most I have ever paid was $30, and I had a bit of trouble with that. I'm incredibly cheap with my clothes.
I normally have one pair of jeans, that I run into the ground, then buy another pair. Just like my shoes!
It's not that i'm not fashion conscious, I just can't be assed sometimes.
Wake up
put jeans on
do student stuff
take jeans off
get in bed...
They normally last a year
I spend about £30-£50 in Gap (recently)... although I'd like to find some that I know haven't been made by slave labour... I saw some in Tescos the other day for £3 and almost cried!!

amateurmacfreak said:Yeah, I only bought the $100 pair b/c they are amazingly comfy... and I like the way they look. I don't care about brand names/"cool" teenage clothing stores.... I actually don't want people to know I've kind of really started to like AE.
I do love Lucky Brand Jeans though. Okay, okay, I admit it.
My (now ex) GF bought a pair of lucky brand jeans, and she looks amazing in them
It did make me cough when I heard she paid $100 for them though !
ive started on an upward climb. I used to get really crappy inexpensive jeans, but they started not fitting me well. i got into AEs $30-48 jeans and enjoy them, but i really like slim fitting jeans which is somewhat hard to come by in lesser expensive jean makers. I now shop at Gap as well, they have some nice jeans that i am willing to top out at $58 for.
If i had the money however, i'd buy myself a couple Diesels!!!!! I love their jeans. I'd be willing to pay $200 (if i had the luxury of the ability to buy them and not compromise other things in my life) for nice jeans.
Alas i don't so about $60 is the current max. But my parents (Dad) pay(s) for my clothes so i always feel bad about spending his money and don't like to buy expensive clothes.

katie ta achoo said:$30 if my arm is being twisted, $15 usually.
I know where to find deals and it helps that I don't wear the ultra mega low rise jeans with diamond beading accents that are in such high demand that the company can charge $80 a pair for them.
Hehehe, this is a great way to be
I pretty much wait till a trip to America and then let loose...cheap jeans aren't too hard to find around after-xmas.
For me it depends what they're for. I own about 6 pairs of jeans.
Approx. $40-$120 AE, A&F, Gap, and Lucky Brand; Hollister just doesn't apease my taste.
The premium brands most often come out on top as I've bought cheaper jeans that start falling apart quickliy. Although, I used to own a pair of dreadful Old Navy jeans that just wouldn't die.

$50 levi's do it for me.
maybe it's from working on ranches as a kid but i've never viewed jeans as a fashion statement.
and don't get me started on people who have then pressed with a crease...

100-300US$
I quite like Diesel jeans and I reckon I can pay more for jeans coz they last for ages and I wear them all the time. So like insted of 2-3 cheaper, I prefer 1 really good one.

I spend anywhere from $40 to $100 on jeans, usually at American Eagle (ughh) or Abercrombie.
I did get nice pair of perfect fitting jeans at the Gap for $13 on sale one time. Hahahah.

I'm unlucky if I have to spend more than $30 on jeans. Currently my comfort zone is Levi's 560 or 569s. Luckily about 5 miles from the house there is an outlet mall with a Levi's outlet store. Should be able to keep myself in cheap jeans for a good long time.
