Modern jeans are terrible. I need your help/advice.

[Profpointy]

The problem and indeed solution is obvious. Don't buy jeans as they are badly cut, are uncomfortable and have crap pockets

Buy proper trousers like moleskins, but not in a jeans cut

Supermarket jeans do have a terrible cut but places like Next have a bewildering selection of cuts.

If you're a weird shape
, you could get yours tailored!

Fret ye not. My moleskins are actually the vegan substitute

Had to look up Moleskin trousers, akin to Farah brand perhaps?

In the stationery shops here I've seen Moleskin branded diaries, so you guess you could coordinate that yuppie look.

Back in my office days, we were sent on a 2 day course all about how to get the most out of using a Filofax, even how to walk along with it held correctly under your arm, I kid you not!

Delboy was merely an amateur

Moleskin as in it feels like moleskin, but thankfully not the real thing.

My lad works at Paul Smith and gets a 70% discount!

The Paul Smith Sale shop in Mayfair is my source of quality jeans at a decent price. I must have Paul Smith shaped arse/legs as they fit me very well

Clearly you worked for a trendy company
We had the proper professional version called a "Time Manager"
There was a full 3-4 day course on how to use them and how to manage your time properly

For low ranking managers (I wasn;t really a manager - but I had the same rank so I got caught in the net) we had a condensed 1 day course

It was full of low ranking technical people like me - luckily the lecturer realised this and was prepared for a lot of rolling eyes and cynical comments

It was posher - and less variety of trendy colours

but basically just a very expensive folder and diary

Here are my latest brand new from Hoggs / Fyffe country clothing. Also have the dark blue ones still in their packet. Last batch from many years back getting demoted to DIY duties

They do also do them in a jeans cut if for some reason you like uncomfortably cut trousers with shyte pockets, but I guess the cloth is an improvement over denim so that's something

Moleskin cloth is more or less corduroy without the stripes

My skin already comes with moles, I don't need any more of them.

I wear old moleskin jeans for winter gardening. Sort of like fleece-lined for warmth, but inside out.

 

[YMFB]

whilst you can, buy them in Americe, they are big people.

i just bought a pair of Carhatt jeans in Basspro, my favourite shop, $59 plus tax

Read this with Interest as a nearly 60yr old who wears predominantly jeans, although I have chinos and Farahs for going out in. Going back yrs ago I was always wrangler or Lee cooper, fast forward a few years and it's M&S regular fit. Yes they fit and are comfortable but they wear out very quickly normally on seams letting go. Alot of the ones they sell are also the stretchy ones which I hate, what happened to having a decent belt. Nothing worse than butt crack or massive belly's hanging out or distressed shredded jeans either. Anyway you've put a couple of brands on my radar to try out, so thankyou folks.

I've looked at those but I've always been put off by the excessive choice of different fits.

I think M&S must have bought shares in Lycra, they've started putting it in virtually everything now. I've been wearing their tracksuit-style jumpers for 40 odd years, but the excessive weight of the Lycra in the new ones makes them hang like they're waterlogged. I've got a couple new ones in the wardrobe, but they're unused because I keep using the old ones even though they're worn out.
