I need to buy jeans. Silver’s are a fave of mine… thought I would do some research before purchasing and I was thrilled to discover they are a Canadian denim company!

    I wear these because they fit me, but they don’t last, at all. I had a pair go (in the crotch, rubby thighs) within a year of purchasing, and I was wearing them in a 2 jean rotation with occasional other pants. When I bought silver jeans maybe 15 years ago they seemed to last forever, now they are a consumable.

    But I still buy them when they are BOGO or on clearance. If I find another pair of jeans that fit as well I won’t hesitate to try them out.

      This is disappointing to here. Are there specific styles you bought? I’m secretly hoping they have offerings with a higher % of cotton that is typically more durable.

        Elyse straight, 1430. They are the first in the "plus size lineup and hard to find in store. Just mentioning in case they manufacture plus size with a different blend or something.

        I hate giving my business to products that don’t last, but the no-go zone between regular and plus size pants sucks. Plus size manufacturers make pants the look stupid and are thin and “fast fashion” and it’s so rare for me to find a 12-18 (34-38) that fits me in a “regualr” store to try it on, because we all know how consistent woman’s sizing is between brands…

        I need well fitted, durable and comfortable jeans. The few manufacturers who claim they can provide this do not have an easy way for me to try on their product to check the fit without double shipping and border taxes.

        So I wear disposable jeans that cost $75 on sale …
