The new ones are rubbish.

I was looking at some old ones and realised that one pair fitted better than the other.

The pair that fits best has black pockets and a coin pocket, the other has white pockets, no coin pocket but a sideways slit.

Can you help date them? Which are older?

I didn't realised that they had changed so much.

Noddy, have you found a good replacement? I've spent £100s since and not found a thing that matches.

I'm the same with Kirsten jeans-forever looking for the ones with extra buttons on the waist as the new ones done fit as well.

I love my old ones. They are proper denim and stiff when washed. They have recently developed a hole in the bum. I'm going to try to patch them as the new ones look shit.

They have a small (pointless) zip in the side just below the waistband. It's about an inch long.

I think the best ones are about 2008. I've seen them made in Turkey and Eygpt. It seems to be the denim that has swapped around as well.

After the 'normal' coin pocket, there was this stupid slit on the side.
As you say Tarka, a silly 1 inch zip! Why?

I've seen that one-all the same era
