American Eagle Jeans Clearance Sale

AE Jeans Sale Going on NOW

While looking for some new jeans and researching what people are wearing, I figured it was time to see what's going on at American Eagle - you know, see what all the fuss is about.

Now I know. Looks like a big ol' American Eagle Jeans sale, that's what.

This pair of AE bootcut jeans above is going for $14.95 in their clearance sale. Down from 29.99 - which I must admit was a lot less that I assumed AE was selling thier jeans for.

Also...
Jeans orginally $39.50 to 59.50 are on sale for $19.99 and up.

These American Eagle jeans would look great in your wardrode as an everyday pair along with your Gap jeans ... and a lot of the sale merchandise has a worn or destroyed look - so if that's your style you are in luck.

***I'm assuming, as these are clearance items, the sale runs until they are gone - so, you might want to hurry to ensure you snag the styles you like in your size.

Guess Jeans Hits a Homer with "Light Wash" Technique

2009-03-17T10:52:00.000-07:00

Here it is. The great looking "light wash" on a pair of G by Guess Marlon Low Straight Jeans.

This distressed but not tattered look is more of a new color choice than anything else. It looks great on the Marlon Low Straight jeans, simply because I feel this fit is a great look for men's jeans.

The color shakes things up a bit "light" being the operative word. Sure they are lighter than your normal off the rack dungarees, but not in that light blue 80's jeans kind of way (which I owned, I must admit, made by Guess, in my sophmore year of HS, way back when). It's more of a worn look, but no holes, no frays and actually very well put together.

The lowest price I could find on these babies was At $49.50 at Jeans.JBGrady.com and other online retailers ...(or as I like to say, the price of a good pair of Gap jeans) you can add this look to your wardrobe, get a great pair of everyday jeans and not even come close to breaking the bank.

Affordable Luxury By Calvin Klein; Pub Crawl Jeans

2009-02-11T23:11:00.000-08:00

Calvin Klein and jeans have been synonymous since, I believe, before I was born. For good reason. Always good looking. Always in style. Suprizingly affordable.

Take these Calvin Klein Jean Pub Crawl Dirty Wash Jeans (pictured) clocking in at $52

.

"Dyed with a darker hue, this comfortable jean sits low on the waist and features a worn-in contrast through the leg."

Coupled with the CK name, and that's all I really need to know. Not you bag? No sweat. Many othe Calvin Klein Jeans in different styles and fits are available all over the internet. Take a little time and shop around. You won't be dissappointed.

Ed Hardy Jeans for Men; Jeans from Mild to Wild

2008-09-19T07:11:00.001-07:00

Ed Hardy Jeans

Ed Hardy Basic Jeans

Bing familiar with the tattoo aspect of the things most widely associated with the ED Hardy name, I was skeptical when I went to look at the jeans. Don't get me wrong, I think the tattoo stuff is really cool, but, for jeans? Just not for me ... but that's me.

I was totally psyched to find this pair of Ed Hardy 5 Pocket Basic Jeans.
Just a really sweet pair of designer denims that I can live with. Sure, upon closer inspection the Ed Hardy name is plastered across one of the rear pockets, but not in that contrast-stitching-in-your-face way. Well worth the 88 bucks.

Ed Hardy Flap Back Pocket Jeans

Stepping it up a notch in the style department are the Ed Hardy Flap Pocket Jeans. Now I know that previously I have bad-mouthed the rolled cuff look ( I think I made a Happy Days reference), but as seen here - with the dark tee, the wallet chain and the snazzy shoes -

I must say this really works. The flap back pocket really give this pair of Ed Hardy jeans a nice upgrade. Not just for tattoo parlors, this is a look you can take just about anywhere. The Ed Hardy Flap Back Pocket Jeans are allso just $88 .

Ed Hardy King Panther Jeans

OK, now we enter the realm of the Ed Hardy Jeans collection that scares me just a bit. The problem with these jeans is that I think they are cool as hell.

What's the problem, you ask? Truth is I am just not that cool in real life, no matter what my Mom tells you. I could't pull these jeans off in a million years - but if YOU can - go for it!

The detailing is simply spectacular. You KNOW your buds wont have the guts to slap on this pair of totally rockin' Ed Hardy jeans, so go show 'em how it's done. These Ed Hardy King Panther Jeans cost a little more, but $154 is extremely fair for a work of art.

DKNY Men's Jeans; Brooklyn/Tompkins

2008-09-18T08:58:00.000-07:00

DKNY Jeans

Brooklyn Fit Jeans, Tompkins Wash

Ok now HERE is a great looking pair of designer jeans. I trust Donna Karan to cover my butt any day of the week.

These DKNY Brooklyn fit jeans are a great style for most men - somewhere in the range of not-too-relaxed, not-too-baggy, not-too-bootcut - works well for those carry a few extra pounds, as well as those dudes that could use a sandwich.

The Tompkins wash, seen here produces a really great look - a lighter pair with almost, but not quite, the look of a well worn pair - while still looking crisp and new.

The back pocket detailing on these DKNY jeans is subtle, which personally, I prefer.

Oh, and the DKNY Jeans Brooklyn Fit Jeans, Tompkins Wash , at $59.90,won't break the bank.

(Also available at Macys)

Mens Jeans; Wrangler; American Classic Jeans

2008-09-15T13:09:00.000-07:00

Wrangler Jeans

Honestly, growing up on the Northern East Coast, I wouldn't have gone near a pair of these. Blind snobbery will get you nowhere... I admit, I missed some great opportunities...

Why am I writing about Wrangler Jeans among all of the designer brand jeans? Simple. While watching the Patriots beat the Jets, I saw an ad where Brett Favre was endorsing these American classics. If they are good enough for Brett, they are certainly good enough for me.

Who wants to make dump runs in designer jeans? Why slap on a pair of $250 dungarees to watch the game with the guys?

Besides, what's more American that jeans that were originally made for cowboys?

I've seen Wranglers on sale for under $15 at Walmart, and under $30 pretty much anywhere else.

Unless you are some sort of Nancy-boy, get 3 pair for everyday use - save the wear and tear on your "goin' out jeans" - and save a good amout of cash to put toward a pair of Evisu Genes to wear when the ladies are looking.

Did I mention? Wrangler jeans are more popular worldwide than most any other men's jeans on the planet. I call that a pretty solid vote of confidence.

These Genuine Wrangler Regular Fit Jeans, Dark Denim can be has for a mere $22.99. Sweet deal.

Mens Evisu Jeans; Evisu European Vintage Denim Jeans

2008-09-15T12:39:00.000-07:00

Mens Evisu Genes

OK, so what's all the fuss about Evisu Jeans? They are in extremely high demand, so I decided I needed to know why.

What did I find out? Some guy (Hidehiko Yamane) decided he needed to make the best jeans possible and set out to do so. Crafting the first Evisu jeans on a 1950's loom and handpainting the logo on himself... (apparently, the craftemenship of vintage jeans was superior due to this process, which is why the old loom)

The quality of the denim and the craftsmanship soon made this product extremely sought after. To this day Evisu (even though they are now made in Italy, not Japan) are synonmous with what high quality, high fashion jeans are all about.

As soon as I scrape up the 388 bucks, I'm going to find out for myself if they are everything they are cracked up to be.

This pair; Evisu European edition "Vintage cut" denim jeans is available for just that price at jbgrady.com. I chose these because I l ike the color and the logo isn't nearly as overstated as can be seen on many other pair of Evisus. What can I say, I'm a simple guy.

There are actually much better deals available, but I didn't like them nearly as much as the look of this pair of jeans.

Men's Seven (7) for all Mankind Jeans; Punk Studded Slim

2008-09-11T15:42:00.000-07:00

Uh ...um....REALLY? Did they let someone sniff a bunch of glue over at Seven Jeans and them let them go berzerk with some sidewalk chalk and a Bedazzler?

Honestly, I'm shocked. Appalled ... and more than a little nauseated by the "Punk Studded Slim jeans. Oh, where to begin?

Punk? Really? I have never really considered Seven Jeans to be anti-establishment, and this ain't helpin'.

Looks more like a billboard for gay male prostitution ...

So, you folks over at 7 for all Mankind please, don't let this happen again. We lova ya, but whoa!

---- I'm gonna stop there.

Just in case you are into that kind of thing - they are dramatically marked down at JBGrady.com ... get your 7 For All Mankind Studded Punk Slim Jeans for $79.97 (down from a rediculous 235 bucks)

Men's Diesel Jeans; Diesel Slammer

2008-09-10T13:11:00.001-07:00

Climbing up the "Diesel Jean Popularity Chart" is the Diesel Slammer (for men).

Why? Well for starters - the fit. It fits just as a pair of mens jeans should (go figure). Not baggy, not tight. To boot, the washes available for the slammer (namely 73H, 8RG, 8FC,73J & 8II)mean that when you combine the fit and the different styles, the slammer is ready for whatever you may have on your agenda.

I chose to feature the 8FC here in the photo, but really any of them could easily find their way into my closet (and hopefully will). The Slammer 8FC here looks a little on the bright blue side, but I am totally digging the way they are worn. I'm thinking it will only be a couple of weeks until I have 'em just as I want 'em.

Snag your own for just $253 at JBGrady.com, or see the full list of Diesel Slammers here.

Mens Hollister Jeans - Hermosa Bootcut Destroyed

2008-08-15T10:01:00.000-07:00

Mens Hollister Jeans

Hermosa Bootcut Destroyed

Although my mother would not agree with me, this is an awsome looking pair of jeans. Love the color, the boot cut fit and the extremely warn denim.

The destroyed look fits in just about anywhere today - not just for fixing your car or mowing the lawn. Men can be seen all over Hollywood and the hottest spots in Las Vegas wearing destroyed jeans - either with screen printed tees for a casual look, or a sharp button up for that ultra cool relaxed, comfortable but "who needs khakis" blase-faire thing.

The first look is great for schlepping around town - the second can be seen in the most happening nightspots, clubs and restaurants. (yes, even restaurants - perfect for the "no jacket required" vibe that formally stuffy establishments are trying to give off. These Hermosa Boot Cut Destroyed jobs by Hollister fit the bill in either case.

Not your type of thing? No issue. Men's Hollister jeans come in a variey of colors, fits & styles and are always a handsome addition to any man's wardrobe.

Skip the middle man and buy them directly from Hollister for a measley $59.50.

True Religion Jeans - Mens Joey

2008-07-10T11:12:00.001-07:00

True Religion Joey for Men. Identity Crisis

Joey's got a problem he's out of control. (Anyone remember that old punk tune? OK, OK - that was Johnny - but you are picking up what I'm putting down, yes?)

Don't get me wrong, I love True Religion Jeans, but there are some styles I love and some, quite frankly, that I (and most everyone else, I imagine) can do without. Take Joey here for example. Great jeans, just not in all styles.

True Religion Joey Bandit

(above) Jon Bon Jovi called ... he wants his 1983 wardrobe back.

C'mon, really? Your gonna spend your hard earned cash on these? Are they hiring where you work? Cuz they are paying you far too much money. Anyway, if you are into it - Lucky you! on sale now for only $215 ... down from the original price of $262 at InTrends. Then go fire up your Flying V and air guitar along with that Winger album you've been wearing out, dude.

True Religion Joey Big T

(above) OK, this is how you rock it in this century!

Torn but not tattered. Dark not super-bleached.... and a little leg room to boot. The contrast stitching is a great touch ... and looks really sharp on the back pockets. For added laughs, these kick @ss jeans can be had at the fraction of the price of Joey's hairband alterego -just $170. Also at InTrends

Oh, that's just the start ... but those are the biggest swings in True Religion Joey's personailties. See them all at Shop For Clothes ... True Religion Joey for Men.

What can I say ... that Joey is a freak!

2008-07-01T11:15:00.000-07:00

Seven Jeans (7 for all Mankind, that is) knows what they are doing - which is why thier jeans cost a little more ... and look a little better ... than most men's jeans out there.

Men's Lucky Jeans - 165 Jean - Rough Around the Edges

Men's Seven Jeans - Slouchy Detroit

2008-05-22T08:51:00.000-07:00

When you are talking about jeans, you can't ignore Seven Jeans (7 for all Mankind, that is). They offer all of the usual suspects when it comes to fit - standard, bootcut, relaxed, slouchy ... and a bunch of stlyes that are uniquely Seven Jeans - namely Blade Runner, Dylan, No Break and Crop & Roll (which, in my opinion hasn't been a good look for straight guys since the Fonz), just to name a few.

The most interesting part of the offerings from Seven are the color choices. It's a guy thing - I can't always tell you which style I like or which fit looks best on me - but it's pretty safe to assume we all know what colors we like, at least when we see them. Seven offers everything from "Salt Lake City" (super-light, almost white) to something they call "Toledo" (which is about as dark blue as you can get)and a really great variety in between - like "Seattle", "Melbourne", Big Sur" ... you get the picture - go take a look for yourself.

My favorite? The Seven Jeans Slouchy in Detroit. OK, so I can't really tell you how they fit (yet), but I know for sure that if I walked into the store, these would be the jeans that spoke to me - heck, I might even try 'em on. Besides the color, I like the subtle detailing on the back pockets as well as the (new vocabulary word alert!) Pinching: those faded wrinkles where the thighs meet your , um, torso - as well as the look given by the slight abraision on the fabric.

Seven (7 for all mankind) Mens' Jean will run you anywhere from $148 - $209.
The Slouchy in Detroit wieghs in at a cool $165.

Mens Diesel Jeans - The Diesel Zathan

2008-05-21T09:22:00.000-07:00

Ready for an upgrade to that first pair of designer jeans? Start with a solid pair from Diesel - The Zathan. It is by far their most popular and most sought after pair of men's jeans. OK, sure - you don't want to follow the pack, I get it... that's exactly what theose levi's you have been wearing since your senior year at Junior College are saying about you right now.

We are easing into this, guys ... work with me. OK, deep breath ... the Diesel Zathan is gonna run you about $219.50 at Universal Gear. (You may be able to save a few bucks if you scour the internet - but time is money, and UG is a reputible online merchant that I am comfortable with)

Sound like a lot of cash for jeans? Money well spent, my friends. The women will think you actually have a clue, Diesel Jeans look great on eveyone, and you can tell your classless friends that they wouldn't know a nice pair of Italin jeans if they bit them on the ... you get my drift.

Tip: Compare prices on the Diesel Zathan Jeans here.

$1288 Jeans from Mastermind Japan - Are you kidding me?

2008-05-20T17:02:00.000-07:00

Jeans for over $1000? For real? What planet are we on?

Let's hope that if you have that kind of dough to shell out for a pair of dungerees that you at least made a handful of charitable donations prior to your purchase.

Don't get me wrong, I do understand that it's not always appropriate to slap on a pair of Wranglers, but dang! So what if they have (and I quote)...

"High-rise waistline - Hidden buttons - Multipockets - Straight leg cut - Slashed detailing - Studs - Embroidered logo"...

... they also have a freaking hole in 'em and what I can only assume is overspray from a subway tagging gone horribly wrong.

You can get 5 Pair of expensive - but almost worth it - Diesel jeans for that price (or enough sale priced Gap jeans to keep you from having to do laundry for well over a month)

All I can say, is if you have these, or want these the money would be much better spent on therapy.

Check 'em out at Shop For Clothes ... you be the judge $1000 Mastermind Japan Jeans

Good. Honest. Jeans. The Gap.

2008-05-19T11:37:00.001-07:00

Gap jeans seem to be the best place to start this blog about men's Jeans. Not that there's anything wrong with a solid pair of Levi's - it's just that a pair from the Gap feels like a good introduction to taking that jeans-and-t shirt-look to the next level.

Always simple, always stylish Gap Jeans. Offered in just a handful of colors and styles it makes shopping easy. It's a guy thing. Lets make this easy.

Styles:

Standard Fit,Loose Fit, Boot Fit (Boot Cut, Easy Fit, Slim Straight, Low Rise Fit, Tolland, Hayes, Relaxed, Baggy.

Don't be scared. The good news, it once you find a style (or two), it's yours to keep.

Personally, I'm a boot cut or regular kind of guy .

They also come in a handful of colors and some great pre-worn looks. I have avoided light colored jeans since the 80's, but a good worn in looking pair can give you just the right contrast with a dark shirt without out feeling like you stepped in a time machine, or are wearing and over-coordinated, almost work-uniform type look.

Bonuses: Gap jeans are ...

reasonably priced (top end about $60)

Always have a pair or 2 on sale. ($29.99 or so)

Generously cut (I'm a comfortable 34 at the Gap - but my levi's should probably be a 36, I just refuse to give in)
