Thankfully I was at home, but I’m seething lol. They were my favourite pair of pants: high waisted, comfortable yet still framed my legs correctly,

Getting dressed as a man is difficult, everything is made for just one particular body shape. I have thicc thighs lmao, most pants feel too restrictive on me and if the waist is low (like 99% of all pants today) they just sag. And thanks but I don’t want to show my ass to everyone around.

Also, while we’re talking about this, crotch length is getting shorter and shorter it seems. Did anyone else notice this?

But the thing is I’ve had these pants since 2021, so barely over a year. You buy super expensive pants and they don’t last any longer than the cheaper ones. I’m wearing Semir jeans off aliexpress right now, which is apparently a huge brand in China but at a fifth of the price of Levi’s, and they lasted me longer (though I definitely haven’t worn them as much).

Except they’re low-waisted and a bit more constrictive than my amazing Levi’s. The kicker is the Levi’s are supposed to be 511s but are clearly not, so I have no idea how they made this pair and if I can ever find another like this.

I don’t even know if I can get it repaired.

    Also take into consideration different brands have different clothes they sell at different retailers. So you can have an otherwise good brand being sold for much cheaper at Walmart but the actual make is also much cheaper. I believe Levis do this along with a good number of other clothing brands. I however have not bought jeans in a hot minute. I lost a bunch of weight a while back and so I had all these “Christmas” jeans I had never worn or only worn a few times cause of the fit. Not that I was super big but big enough. I then lost weight and am now at “peak jeans” where most of my old jeans fit loose to the point where they don’t look great out but are good around home pants, and all my old “too small” pants either are just right or some still a little loose. If I loose much more I’m going to have to get new pants though and as awesome as that is for a weight loss standpoint it’s also terrifying. Lol. So I’m glad you mentioned those ones you got that Semir brand. I’ll have to look into them.
