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.

    Yoga Jeans are also Canadian made. If you like your jeans stretchy, they’re a good option. They have long inseams for us talks too.

      My favourite pair of jeans are Silver and I’ve worn them for at least 5 years. The crotch is starting to wear in the same place all my jeans eventually do.

      The thing I like the most is how soft the denim continues to feel. Some jeans are a lot rougher but these don’t even really feel like denim.

      How nostalgic. Haven’t seen those in a while. They were thick (not flimsy) and solid quality when I knew people who worked at Western Glove Works, and when I used to hit their store in the Exchange District, but that was many years back. Just checked and I notice they seem to have another brand called “Jag” now on the WGW site. There are Google Reviews under the WGW name that mention Silver.

      *edit - Actually I just remembered Jag isn’t that new, I saw them in the store too. Those probably just didn’t have my size.

      Not that it’s a guarantee of quality but any means, but they had a moment of catering to Hollywood types in the mid-2000s.

      I don’t think I’ve owned a pair, myself.

      I had silver jeans back in high school. They lasted me 10 years until I grew too wide for them. Nice quality, solid stitching.
