Decent quality jeans

So today, I have had my third pair of M&S jeans rip in the last few months. Twice on my ass, and once between the legs. All the pairs were baggy in the areas they ripped so its not as though I am squeezing my ass in where it won't fit.

I wear jeans every day to work so they get washed once a week.

Anyone know of any reasonably priced brands that aren't too expensive that I can try? I am in construction so they don't have to be top of the range. Just sick of wasting €40 on a pair of M&S jeans that don't last (one pair ripped on their first wear - M&S did nothing about it!!)

Levi's all the way for me. Worth the price tag. Also Gap jeans are good quality denim with none of the horrid stretchy Lycra that do many jeans seem to have now.

I've bought Next jeans over the past decade & I've not had problems with them. I buy the mid rise skinny fit for £22 in a dark indigo wash in heavy denim.

I've recently bought the slim fit straight leg which I've shrunk deliberately in the tumble dryer. They were too loose as I'm used to skinnies but wanted a relaxed fit. They were also same price as the skinny jeans, £22.

Levis are great quality. I get them in the sales so they usually cost £45 - £60 a pair. My oldest pair are 7 years old and just starting to go a bit thin on the seam in the crutch.

Agree Levi's. Monki are also worth a look...proper sturdy denim, organic cotton and around £40

My best jeans ars Levi's but Gap jeans have also lasted really well.

Comptoir des Cotonniers expensive but such good jeans - they have a rubbish online returns policy though so only if you can get to a store

Topshop
Gap but are really stretchy. They have stopped doing proper denim.
Levis - go for proper denim. Not stretch.
