My best fitting pair of jeans came from this store.
Finding a great fitting pair of jeans can be a labour of love no matter what your body type. It takes patience. And sometimes a bit of cash. The difference between a pair of $30 jeans and $200 jeans is a lot more than just marketing.
I was stepping up my style and starting to date a bit more in 2012 so it was time to find some proper jeans. BB is nearby so I popped in. I explained to the friendly salesgirl that i was looking for something made without slave labour, in a darker colour and basic--like a pair of 501s but nice. She asked my budget and then we were set. She really knew her jeans and was able to suggest several pairs that worked.
(A good salesperson, when it comes to clothing and somewhat clueless guys is like a good director or conductor--they push you in the right direction without being pushy. And a good customer trusts his/her sales person because they are hopefully way more expert then you are.)
Following her advice and recommendations, I tried on several pairs, some of them more than once. Ultimately it was up to me to decide and the Fidelity jeans I went with have been my all time favourite. Well worth the price.
They have more than just jeans. I also picked up a Ben Sherman v-neck sweater vest on sale.
Since then I bought another pair of pricey jeans elsewhere on the Danforth but with some regret. BB was a far better experience and I ended up with a far better pair of jeans.
I will probably go back the next time I need good denim. I don't think I would go back for other items only because overall their clothing is a little more casual/youth oriented than I currently prefer.
Recommended, especially if you are a guy looking to buy a good pair of jeans!
