    I've got jeans from M&S outlet that are years old and still going strong. Mine are Per Una ones, bootcut and good quality denim, check the thickness of the denim as i have thinner pairs but they don't last as long. Also have jeans from Asda which are ok but try them on as first pair i had were great but the next pair the style just didn't sit right on my hips. The ones I have from Gap seem to lost their stretch quickly which is a shame as they were nice and bought cheap in a sale.

    Thank you never thought about looking in these shops will try marks and spencers and gap first.They will more likely do my size i.e short legs.

    I was asking my brothers the same question recently. One of them said he buys gap jeans from ebay though sometimes the fit can be fairly baggy (boot cut). Might be worth trying a few of the same style on in that case as it does appear quite common nowadays for jean appearing inconsistent when it comes to sizing i.e. small can appear medium, medium can appear large and vice versa.

    I've also had to buy jeans from Matalan in the past and found the same as mentioned above even more frequent. Nevertheless, and like I've mentioned, try a few of the same style on until you find a pair that fits well. I made the mistake of ordering some online recently and ended up having to return a pair as they were way to big, so probably appears best to try them on in store if you can.

    I usually just get a size bigger then I am usually because they don't make clothes properly nowadays.Snap I bought my last ones in matalan and they all have got holes in the front not buying anything from there anymore.

    Are you sure you are buying the right size? I've had jeans for years and years and never managed to get holes in the front (on the bottom from dragging on the ground, maybe). Also, to some extent you get what you pay for, so a pair of jeans costing less than a tenner is not going to last very long.

    Yes buying right size checked 4 of the jeans 2 have holes and the ones that don't have a number below the postcode on the label. Think it's the way factory makes them bought a bra in matalan broke straight away and it was the right size.My jeans cost ten pound each never had trouble with cheap jeans before.

    Have you tried your local charity shops? Our Red Cross shop has new H&M stuff and loads of jeans. I've bought Gap, Next, D Perkins plus designer one's in charity shops, maybe worth a look.

    There are quite a few pairs under a tenner on Oxfam online, we buy hubbies work shirts from here and all in as new condition.

    That said, it's mainly due to it being about the only place i could find that would fit me. Funny how it goes
