fucking tell me about it. Bought a pair of jeans from BigW, they lasted less than a month before the thighs and ass split open.
twenty pairs of jeans in two years from Target, Big W, and Harris Scarfe.
I've even tried Levi's and they lasted all of two weeks.
At least Nudie Jeans guarantees free repairs and alterations for life, but they're so expensive.
I miss my old nudies. $300 back in the day, hard to justify, but jeez they were very good.
Kmart used to be decent, I had no complaints. Now even 'universal fit' types of things have to be carefully tried on in person. Apparently even baggy elasticated items and socks. Pilled on the first wash too
(The trackies also fit more like the next size up. The tight feeling came from the weird exaggerated hourglass cut. Completely different in sizing and cut to the past pairs I bought that were out of stock.)
