Dogs and cats living together!

BB did sell jeans previously, at the same price point.

Made in the USA Levis? Will consider.

^ Is this a serious comment? They're almost $150.

Realistically speaking, we don't know anything about these jeans other than the price point and cuts.

now that i work for BB i might get them if they are decent...

They have them at the Washington DC location, along with items from their new collection that was on Gilt. Some very nice looking cardigans and shirts, and since they're tagged as x-slim, I'm sure the fit is spot-on as well.

Check them out here... http://www.brooksbrothers.com/timele...name=learnmore I don't find them all that impressive, but I appreciate the effort.

Great idea.

Remember also that Brooks Brothers' "retail price" is pretty fictitious.

Odd, is it just me or do the 514's look the loosest of the 3.

Hmm - are they selvage? If so, not bad, especially with the Brooks corporate discount.

Does it really matter? They're still overpriced, boring, predistressed jeans. perfect for the average brooks brothers shopper, not so much for anyone into fashion.

They just look like overpriced regular levis. Do not want.

Lots of people like Levi's, whether they are fashionable or not. The washes look fine - there is a time and place for washed jeans and these aren't offensive. $150 minus a discount for American made selvage Levi's is a good price - especially since the price of LVCs is creeping higher and higher. Don't drink all the SF koolaid. I'd be surprised if they are selvage, however.

Yes, it was a serious comment. Made in the USA is very important to me. I don't like supporting third world dictators or sweat shops that chop children's hands off. And I don't wear jeans to be fashionable, I wear them to change the oil on my car. With a decent discount these jeans should work just fine.
