How much do you spend on denim per year?

I have the same problem, I have some big ticket jeans but then I take way too many $50-$100 flyers on jeans(usually via ebay or sales) that get minimal to no wear either because usually because I gamble on sizing or cut.

Yeah... Live and learn.

Surprisingly enough, I have very few jeans in my collection that don't get wear, and those that do are usually fairly old and get sold shortly thereafter. I've been pretty fond of my Club Monaco 1 wash, and they've actually gotten a couple hours of wear in the last week. They're more or less the only low-rise slimmer dark bootcut I have left that doesn't use stretch denim.

Great plan. I was buying discount jeans from $15-$30, a couple for $55, and then I got myself a pair at $188 (down from $375) that are the best jeans for me I've found so far and I stopped buying. I think buying one or two things at the high end where you didn't compromise in any way probably saves money in the long run.

in the previous year i bought:
APC NS
501 STF
LVC 47
april77 joey overdrives
dior 19cm

that is it.i guess i'm not buying anything for the half of this year

As well as the denim I find myself thinking - now whats a great belt to wear with these Canes? maybe I need some new boots that go well them too? - before you know it i'm another Â£300 down. All cos of this damn denim addiction! Sheeesh, maybe I should get a coke habit.

denimdestroyedmylife · Jan 26, 2007

i spent just over a stack last year
but i won't be buying jeans this year except maybe a lee repro for my birthday in the spring

i should be set for the next four years, though. i want to work on my fadez

cheapmutha · Jan 26, 2007

not including thrift i spent 420$ last year. not bad considering i bought 3 rrl, 2 lvc, 1 samurai, 1 sugarcane, and some japanese levis.

impolyt_one · Jan 26, 2007

at my local prices, I ended up spending well over a G stack and ended up with only 4 pair to show for it

-Dior selvage -Dior italian -2 pair of APC's; one raw, one in that washed greyish color

Not buying jeans is the new buying jeans.

In 2005 I bought APC Anglaise--$120.

In 2006 I bought Nudie RR--$120.

In 2007... I dunno but it'll probably be more than $120.
