I finally found the perfect jeans & stocked up with 4 pair.
Since I lost & am losing weight bit by bit, I had to refresh my jeans collection.
I discovered the Levi 569 Loose/Straight fit & hunted like hell at local stores to find a 30 length. The search was rough & I only found one pair.
So today I took the search online & found them at Macy’s for 31.99 on sale & purchased 3 pair (different colors). Later I found them online through another retailer 2 bucks cheaper.
The sad thing about my search was that neither Levi store nor their online shop had my size. I guess they think juicy brothas don’t shop with them.

Recent Jean Reflections
My last claim for the perfect jean was Old Navy’s Boot Cut fit but I guess they are not making them anymore, so I guess the ones I have now are in their last days of me wearing them.

Jeans Before I Turned 22
Back in the day, I would only wear designer jeans & pay all kinds of money but now that I’m no longer a brand whore, I save a lot of money. It’s funny how something so simple such as buying jeans can turn into a major ordeal!

– Girbaud jeans Skinny Coybow & Brand X fits used to be my die-hard favorites jeans. I really thought I was sexy in this one pair of Skinny Cowboys, I was about 18 at the time. This girl who kinda looked funny used to tell me that my booty looked cut in them.
– Guess Pascal used to make me feel like I was a sophisticated brotha especially when I wore them with a shirt & tie. Guess no longer makes the Pascal fit & it is such a shame. The shit they put out now is way too flash. Oh wait, I remember when I was in the 10th grade & got me a Guess short overall, which was a ghetto must have.
– I thought I was all that when I got me a Used Jeans. I actually had one used outfit & it was in the lay-a-way for a month in a half. I made payments on it when I got my little Wendy’s check. One day I came home from school early & caught my mom in my Used jeans outfit & was pissed off & from that point it was hers. People could not know that my momma & I wore the same damn clothes. Looking back it was really funny because when I walked in the house, she had it on with a pair of high heels with her legs crossed smoking on a Benson & Hedges cigarette.
– Oh & I was really all that when I got me 2 Damaged Jeans outfits as a gift from my mom. I made sure that she did not wear those.
– Jeans I really wanted way back when were some Cross Colors & some Karl Kani’s. I was so jealous of many of my friends who had these, including Cousin Dee. Although I made my own money & purchase many of my own clothes, my mom threatened to beat me down if I can in her house with some pimp pants.

My sister said I should get some Levis too. She’s in love with one of their cuts and they’re not too pricey. I’m always on the hunt for the perfect jeans too and I found some last year at Steve and Barry’s for like $14. And Express jeans used to fit me perfectly but they discontinued the cut I like and there’s only so much low rise I can take, which must mean I’m getting old! Anyway, I’ve never been one for labels. I just like what fits.

I actually rock those as well. I’m a huge fan of Levi’s.
They’re that classic American flava

I’m continuously in search of the perfect pair of jeans. I haven’t purchased a new pair in the last couple years cause women’s jeans require more hip than I have and junior jeans don’t fit over my hips….what to do?!
I need to check out levi’s.

OMG, I remember back in the day always being about the flyest pair of jeans. Guess what the name brand in my high school days and I had several pairs. Now, I’m so not about a brand name. I see people who pay over $100 for a pair of jeans and I think they must be high. The most I’ve paid is $40 in recent history.
I just went shopping two days ago b/c I’d bought a pair of Eddie Bauer jeans a couple of weeks ago and they were on sale and I went back to buy a second pair. Each were purchased for $20, but normally retail for $50. They fit well and were exactly what I was looking for. The second pair I need to take to be hemmed a bit, but for the extra $10 for a perfect fit, I’m quite happy.
I’m going to pass along the tip for Levis 569 and see if my bf might like them. He’s bought a couple pair of jeans (without trying them on) and found them to all be too large, even when they are his stated size w36 l34). They were really large in the waist and he was appalled. We’re hoping to find some jeans that really fit him.

Dang, you got me strolling down memory lane, lol!
My fav pair of jeans back in the day was a pair of Chic brand jeans. They were faded and striped, tapering all the way down to the ankle. And tiiiggght!
I’d wear my oversized sweatshirt (with the neck and sleeves ripped up, so that the neck would hang off the shoulder), and my red bra, thinking I looked as sexy and hot as Jennifer Beal in Flash Dance.
God, I was a dork.
BizyLizy / May 17, 2008
Sorry. Jennifer Beals (with an “s”).
Still a dork, apparently.

I am loving your responses on this post!!!
Seems like the perfect jeans are an elusive creature that we all hope to find for less than 40 bucks!!!
Liz – The price of Levi’s is so the best part, especially when you have a 20% off coupon from Macy’s!
Torrance – I think you are teasing me with the email!!!
Jovan – We are now the official Blogging 569 brotherhood!
Meikmeika – Couple of years, you better get on that search for jeans boo, them old ones are ready to retire. LOL!!!
I don’t have a bitch ass but my but is bigger than he average bear so I have issues with that.
WandaWoman – Love the name & thx for stopping by! That whole 100 bucks+ for jeans is so over. A lot of Negroes can’t pay rent but damn sho nuff got some expensive fits!!!
You know, I had a pair of EB jeans & I really liked them, I got them on clearance & it was the only pair. Since then I could not find them so you know I wore the pair that I had to fucking death!!
I am now back in a 38×30 & finding my size is usually a challenge. MOst stores like to start at a 32 length which sucks because I do not like altering my jeans. I have had it done a few times & they got jacked up, so I am afraid to ever try that again.
If he tries that 569 jeans post a response, we can spread the word & keep the 569 fit alive!!!
BizyLizy – Oh shit, you did go back with Chic jeans LOL!!! All you needed for the look was leg warmers & you would have been the baddest bitch in the room. I remember when stripped jeans were the shit. Back in about 83 my dad sent me a pair of gray Sassoon jeans with thin white stripes. I thought I was all that in my designer jeans with Pro Wing shoes from Payless.
Heres to tight jeans & dorks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“…i’m saying it’s my house and i’ll make fudge
and call it love and touch my lips to the chocolate warmth
and smile at old men and call it revolution cause what’s real is really real
and i still like men in tight pants cause everybody has some thing to give
and more important need something to take…”
