No way I’d spend over $50 on jeans.

I must not have been trying the right cheap jeans. For years I thought banana republic, Levi’s, j crew and madewell worked well. But then I got some from Mother and Paige and they were so much better in all the different ways. So now I’m a convert to expensive jeans. I basically live in them so it feels worth it.

I spend a lot of money on jeans because I literally wear them everyday. I believe in spending on things that get a lot of use - rather than splurging for a holiday dress.
For me, expensive jeans (Agolde) fit me much better than less expensive jeans (I tried Madewell and Reformation this year and then reverted to Agolde.).

I don’t think so, but I am tall-ish and thin.

For example, they will use better stitching and reinforcements in the bottom cuffs, and the material may be 5-10% of a synthetic fabric to add a little stretchiness. I buy 1 pair of jeans a year and they last the entire year or longer. I usually get Diesel or G-Star Raw.
I thought the cool kids were doing no synthetic now.

I buy "expensive" jeans but I wait for the sales so always pay under the $200 numbers being quoted here.
I have also found and loved jeans at Old Navy before for $20.

I find that the materials and the structure of the jeans are better for my more expensive jeans. That being said my idea of expensive is $150.

My current favorites are a $120 brand name pair I got on sale, and a $20 pair from H&M. It's about comfort and fit, not about the name, and IMO, you can have good and bad with both name brand and cheapo brands

Not anymore but yes 10-15 years ago when the quality was better.
Now it’s all the same material and coming from the same factories, you just pay more for certain labels. Men’s might be different still if you go custom.
Abercrombie’s denim line past 3-4 years is really high quality. Same for Madewell but Madewell is more hit or miss now - you want 100% cotton if you want it to last.

My favorite jeans are from old Navy, so I'm done seeking out expensive ones.

They won’t fix anything.
