I buy Rogan jeans, but then I only have 2 pairs of jeans (1 hemmed for sneakers/sandals and 1 hemmed for heels) at a time. When one rips (I spend too much running around with my dog & neice- the knees go out once a year or so) I go replace them & use the ripped pair when I'm painting. The place I buy them at tailors them for you for free- adjust the waistband, hem to any height, whatever else you want done. For me, I'd rather spend the money on a really good pair that I know will fit me perfectly than spend lots of time trying on cheaper jeans to find ones that will look ok, since I wear them almost every day to work.
