Back in the day I wore Lee jeans, partly because I wanted to be different from the Levis crowd, and partly because (believe it or not!) I preferred the placement of the belt loops over other jeans. Yes, Im a bit strange.

For whatever reason I began wearing other brands - partly I suspect because Lee became nearly unavailable. Over the last several years Ive worn Wrangler.  They are easily available at Target, are priced well and various fittings are normally in stock.  I took to wearing relaxed fit.

When I decided to have at least one pair of black jeans (my lame attempt to be fashionable) I looked around since black wasn't readily available from Wrangler at Target, and the quality wasn't quite what I was looking for.

I decided to try Lee based on reviews here, and I ordered the relaxed fit.  Relaxed? Id same Tent Size is more accurate! I returned them for regular fit, which are much better. When I lose the 4-7 kgs Im working on, a slimmer fit will probably work better.

The major thing I like about these jeans is the quality.  The denim is heavy enough to have a substantial feel/hand.  And the black brand patch on the back is quite nice, lending a sophisticated look.

Ive only worn these once and washed them once.  I washed them separately, of course, on gentle and dried on low.  They look good after the wash, so it looks like maybe the colour will hold.
