It's the crotch blow outs that get me. I don't mind wear, but once I jump into the crotch blow out rabbit hole, they are done for me.

Bought two pairs of the Cadence Collection's new dark indigo denims. Very nice jeans. A tad longer than the raw demins I already have, but in a good way. Fabric is stiff but not abrasive. More taper at the ankle but room at the thighs and a bit of stretch for mobility. At least initially, the dark indigo will come off on hands and furniture surfaces, but in my experience this usually bodes well for the look later on in the life of the jeans. Recommended.
Perhaps your favourite jeans need a little Denim Therapy.
The topmost pair in the picture below are over ten years old, and DT just did a hell of a job repairing the crotch. $9 per square inch, it cost me $27 to get a pair of old favourites back in business.

OK, I just do not get vanity sizing. I have gained twenty plus pounds since 1988 but wear a smaller jeans size than I did then?
That said, 3sixteen's straight standard fit is beautifully made of lovely slightly-hairy denim and fits nicely once I take two inches off my actual waist size to get my "jeans size". They have enough rise and the legs aren't maxed-out at mid-thigh. Tellason was even more dramatic--I wear them with tucked-in blanket shirts and a good belt, but they are starting to look interesting after two years of regular winter use....
Cheers,

another job walk day today, and decided to finally wear the Unbranded 222s with the 1% Spandex. Didn't think 1% Spandex would be a big deal, but these are so much easier to move around in. so far, it's pretty awesome.

Auk's words to live by:
Blow up and pin a picture of M. Bartoli on your wall. When you achieve that position, stop. Until then, stretch, ride, stretch, ride, eat less, and ride more.
Temps near 100* today and heat index well above that. Denim with Spandex is my new favorite thing when outside.

Recently picked up two pairs of Outlier pants thanks to this thread... one each of slim dungarees and 60/30 chinos. I might not buy another pair of non-stretch jeans/pants ever again.
When I first heard of $200+ jeans, I thought "what a bunch of effete nonsense", but given the cost of a decent living, and the care that *can* be put into a product, it *might* make sense. This film has put me in a forgiving mood on this issue:
