Jack Jones Jeans...

[-=Squid=-]

Well, I bought a couple pairs of these over in Europe, and they are the most assaulting pants I've ever purchased... Only problem is that I can't find a place back in the states, ANYWHERE, where I can buy them.

Anyone know where to look? Or some other good jean companies? I need some pants...

[thecavemankevin]

assaulting? huh? do you mean they kick your ***?

as for where to find them, sorry

ebay?

You can't trust ebay when buying expensive clothing.

And yes, the pants are amazing. Proving once again, you really do get what you pay for.

Eluxury.com has some nice authentic denim, but none of those really strike my fancy.

You can't trust ebay when buying expensive clothing.

Well I don't think you have any choice http://search.ebay.co.uk/jones-jack_W0QQfkrZ1QQfnuZ1QQfromZR8 since I have never heard of this brand, so if you paid good money for them they saw you coming. It looks they are are one of the rash of new so called "designer" brands. Somewhat like Joe Bloggs, these exist and are ok'ish but they were made by a guy in the midlands of the UK who called his new company Joe Bloggs as a dig against high price real designers, the weird thing is now, the products he makes are mid to high priced items but to begin with they were only sold to street market traders.

Then again maybe they are real as in designed??? you could always try this http://www.jackjones.com/

Personally I think they are just an existing company that has rebranded in some way.

The ultimate marketing target: A kid with more money than he knows what to do with and some idiotic beleif that designer labels make things "better" and not the materials and workmanship involved. This says "insert designer label here / DYE" it must be better.

You are a total moron.

If you honestly think that you can buy a pair of $40 jeans that will be as good as a pair of $200 dollar Jack Jones/Diesel/whatever... You are a an idiot.

Considering you obviously have not tried on a nice pair of jeans, you simply do not know. These jeans, as well as some other 'designer' jeans I own are infinitely more comfortable, durable, and better looking. Same goes for the other 'designer' items I own. These labels don't exactly use cheap materials to make their product...

And for the record, it will be a cold day in hell before you see me wearing Dye apparel.

Now, go buy some clothes from Wal-Mart, and leave me be.

MarkM - Thanks for the advice. While I was visiting Germany I was just leaving a music store and noticed this Jack Jones place. Walked in, and I really liked the pants they had there... Paid about 200 dollars for them, and they are worth every penny. I have no idea how long they have been around, but they aren't exactly made cheaply. I tried their website, and I couldn't find anything but a huge list of physical stores (nothing online) in Europe where you can buy them.

And I gotta say, you're right about the 'designer label' epidemic. I try to watch where I put my money, as far as clothing goes.

I might just be out of luck, but there is no way I'm going to Ebay,

(And before anyone makes assumptions, mommy and daddy don't hand me wads of cash to buy the things I hav, because I can so see that one coming)

Read my thread in regards to a Devil mag. Did I ever say it was better in function than anything it was comparable to?

I have no problems with labels. "I purchased this to have something others did not, not because it was better, but because of my own arrogance, etc.". Good, you admit why you made the purchase. I have a problem with labels "this is better because it cost more and is exclusive". Things can be better and have a higher price, but price and quality are not tied hand in hand, especially in regards to designer clothing.

[Lohman446]

You are a total moron.

Wait a minute.. you pay $200 for a pair of jeans and I'm the moron?

Brilliant rebuttle, by the way.

And, just out of curiosity, tell me what I SHOULD have spent my money on. Tell me, oh brilliant one, what things do I NOT have that I SHOULD have bought instead?

Think of something, and I will shut up. Why? Because you won't think of a damn thing.

OH SNAP


I can't justify spending anything over a hundred on a pair of jeans, but that's because I can't afford to.

I'm pretty fond of Levis' line of high-end jeans. And also, their 527's are all kinds of cheap, but they're really well made and fitted.

Oh, sweet, sweet Lohman... :)

[MarkM]

I own other brands of jeans but tend to only buy Levi 501's.
The Levi's I really want to get are the old style Silver Tabs, the newer version is both a different cut and denim plus only available in the states but travel for me kind of evens it out so I can wait.

Diesel and the like are extremely overpriced...I consider anything over $100 clothing wise expensive, this includes paintball gear too ;)

We have TK Max in the UK (I believe they are a German? company) they sell past season clothing from Europe and the US but most of it is either really wierd looking or good enough that even though it is old style (season wise) since it isn't available in the UK normally no one will know the difference.

Stupidest thing I ever saw was on my first trip to the US and my buddies were buying Calvin Klein Jeans in black but they were sort of a "waxed" look, they worked out the same price you could buy in the UK if you knew where to look but since a lot of fakes were going around at that time to wear a pair CK jeans that looked totally different to the one's you could buy in the stores would make people shout FAKE!!, even if you yourself knew they weren't.

The "distressed" look for jeans has only really been in the states for the last 3 years but we have had it for nearly 6 years to the result that you can buy jeans that have the look many americans want but a fraction of the cost $35 max unless you want to go silly with some new designer (:rolleyes: see previous post) and pay about $150

[-=Squid=-]

For the price, Levi's does have some pretty comfy jeans.

They tend to tear up easily though.

And really, I don't think Jack Jones would really be considered a 'designer label.' All they really make are casual wear... Jeans, some pants, shirts, etc. But still, I can't stress it enough, I've bought a lot of different types of clothing, and these are hands down the best jeans I've ever bought. I... must... have ... more.

Whatever works for you. Just picked up some jeans the other day...... $10 from Steve and Barry's. Cheap as hell, and they're not bad at all.

ACtually they do. I used to have 4 pairs and I skated in them. when I fell they ripped. It sucked.

But hell 10$ is cheap so who cares.

[Cameo]

Skyped my brother who is in Germeany on TDY... said that it sounds familiar... Maybe you should try a military friend that you might have.. also any students that are studing abroud..
On the other hand. if you are not worried aobut the cost of the jeqans why not dial up one of the retail stores and have them shipped, you already know the size /style you need...
jackjones.com does have the listings...
~steph
btw, love the dark denium/rivets... very nice.

[-=Squid=-]

I tried pretty much all of that... I really am just looking for an online store to just order, which I don't think is going to happen.

Does anyone have any other recommendations?

[mobsterboy]

I thought "designer" and "jeans" were complete antonyms :confused:

Really though, i mean with todays "designs" and "fashions", they sell jeans that are faded and have rips and holes for more than the regular jeans. Hell, if the ones that are faded, dirty, have rips and holes in them are worth 40-60 bucks, I gotta be sittin on a jackpot at my house! :D :Shamelessly rips off the Larry the Cable Guy Crotchless Underpanties skit:

$200 for a little extra comfort and durability?

A little? oh no, my friend, he stated Infinitely more comfortable and durable.

I, for one, would spend 200 dollars in a heartbeat, on anything infinitely more comfortable.

And then, having found the Infinitely(tm) comfortable pants, I would proclaim the world at large that I can afford such luxurious trousers, by slyly asking were I could buy more of these pants beyond reproach. By not having retail outlets in the new world, I can rest assured that most of the plebes would not be able to compare "Comfort Infinite" (tm) to normal brands. I will be able to sleep easy knowing that my *** is covered by cool denim fashion with an international attitude.

My lack of hurbris, coupled with my disdain for using the english lanuage is ways that other people can understand, will enable me to complete my plans to become a industry mogul and come back to spit on you, "The Little People (tm)"

In no way, should I ever think that these jeans of the gods, are actually made in India or China, for pennies, out of normal denim.

I mean, these things are infinitely comfortable.

For one, no, I will NOT pay good money for clothing if it has been made in China, or some other place where they spit crap out as fast as they can, without backing up their quality. Yes, if I am going to pay more than 100 bucks for a pair of jeans, I check out where it is made.

If your brilliant mind, which can barely string togethor a complete sentence with every word spelled correctly (I assume you had to use a thesaurus, as well, considering half of them didn't even make sense), read the first post, I said nothing of cost, nothing of class... Nothing even remotely like that. I just wanted to know if someone knew the name. Anything beyond that was simply a response to something somebody else said.

Every cent I spend on clothing comes directly out of, you guessed it, my paycheck. Yes, currently I work in one of my Dad's factories... However, I am getting no additional pay because of this. I work hard, harder than most there, and I know what I'm doing. So, nice try at taking a stab at the fact that I can afford to buy the things I want to buy. I'd love to see where all your cash goes...

Nice try at taking a stab at the fact that I am fluent in English. Here's a hint; it doesn't take me any extra time to type out a sentence with propper spelling, grammar, AND punctuation. Oh, 'lack' of hubris? ... Uhh, that made a lot of sense in the context you attempted to use it.

On top of all this, your retarded reference to the type of denim didn't make much sense either, considering that there are different grades, as well as treatment methods for the cloth.

Now, does anyone have a clue where I could buy these jeans?

[rkjunior303]

Honestly..

I've owned Diesel, cK, DKNY, French Connection and the best jeans I've ever worn..

GAP.

I'm serious.

Maybe it's me but they are the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn.. Not to mention, they are only around 50 bucks a pair.. They aren't exactly 'designer' but I am happy with them.

As I said, they are made in China or India, as there are no Jack & Jones factories; they exist only as a brand, and farm out the production to Chinese or Indian factories.

you wouldn't be talking about the pre-ripped, pre-stained, I look like I do hard work for a living but I get away with just buying my status at a retail store look would you?

I walked by Abercrombie the other day at the local mall, I absolutely loathe that place. The blaring techno music from some outplayed artist is just atrocious. Lets not get into the employees that work there that are holier than thou. Its bad enough to make honorable mention to the dickheads that shop there. God forbid you buy a pair of jeans at a regular store like Kohls or the like. I have bought a pair of jeans there a while back and they lasted me 2 years before the things ripped. Hell, I still wear them. Its cool to have a gaping rip in your crotch area right? Its the new fashion no? If you are looking for something along the lines of comfort and durability, check out carhartt. Hell, you can even check out Dickies. They are reasonably priced and are great jeans.

I would say I am sorry this has gotten so off topic, but, I am not. I just cannot see that someone spends $200 on a pair of jeans. Regardless of who's name is on them.

I still have valley girl issues now and then. But, when did assaulting become a good thing? I understand that bad often means good....and such things as that. but, that seems like a very strange word to have a positive meaning.

Not at all. I know plenty of people who make 100K+ incomes that would not dream of spending $200 on a pair of jeans. What your are reading is Squid is not the brightest bulb in the box for buying $200 jeans - in my opinion. However, if he wants to and can, I really don't care. Its a style thing, a prestige thing and its a great thing to do if you want to. I just don't respect the idea that they are better - infinetly more comfortable and durable for instance. They are not better persey, they are more prestigous. I don't care what I make, I'm not spending $200 on a pair of jeans.
