Well ok, valid point...their quality is low. Retracting earlier accusation of you being yuppy, only if you tell me that you've bought clothing from the aforementioned stores like PEP :p

Not really. I bought a bunch of scarves and gloves from there while it was so cold during the world cup in 2010, but I think that's it. The scarves went to my pet rats to ensure they didn't freeze to death. :p

People that buy from department stores in SA are stupid. They have a 45% mark up on everything. It's only worth it if they have a 50% sale or they have vouchers which could help.
The trick to shopping, buy from one place as often as possible, get noticed at the store then ask for discount.

My experience with clothes (including jeans) and shoes is that the more expensive items last longer and are more cost effective in the long run. I've bought cheap jeans that I've worn holes into (especially on the knees) within a year but I have a pair of Levis that are nearly 10 years old with no holes in them yet...

Generally speaking you get what you pay for.

Guys, on the topic of jeans. Like joelus, I have also been wearing the same levi's for the past 9 years, 34W 36L, normal dark blue 501. The reason I have been wearing them for so long is becuase I can't find any other jeans that's long enough, levi's apperently don't make them anymore.

Anyone know where the hell I can find a normal dark blue jean that's longer than normal sizes? And trust me, I have looked almost every where! I am in the CPT area.

Hope someone can help.

I'm 1.79. :(

I have a problem with most jeans' length. Even when I'm wearing a belt, they end up going underneath my heels and get trodden on. With the cheaper jeans this tends to wear them out rather quick, so it is quite a problem. I noticed some people here mention having their jeans tailored, so where do you have that done? Just any tailor shop?

Regardless, you're bringing discussions from another thread into a completely unrelated thread. Kindly stop.
