I bought Uniqlo jeans and they ripped in under 6 months which was a huge disappointment. I have therefore decided to spend $ and get good quality jeans (<$150)
Q1. What brands do you suggest for slim/ tapered jeans?
Q2. Which of these brands have a length of 28. I am short and almost all brands I see recommended their shortest length is 30 and hemming it 2 inches ruins the taper/ leg opening.

Madewell and Buck Mason do really good jeans on the higher end of that budget. I have large thighs so I blow out the crotch of jeans in 1 to 1.5 years usually, Buck Mason jeans are really thick though so that slows down the process.

AG. Rag & Bone.

Those are both over, but go to Nordstrom Rack and you may get lucky.

The rag and bone sale section will get you to $100-150. Go to a store and figure out your fit (fit 2 is slim, fit 3 is athletic. The waist sizes are vanity sized (i.e., a 32 has like a 34-35 inch waist). You will need to get them hemmed, but you should do that for all your pants anyways…

Bonobos. You can get 28 for length

Dearborn Denim does a 28" inseam. I have seen a lot of favorable reviews for them. And they look to be under $100.

i really enjoy jeans from AYR and Paige. AYR has short sizes.

ah! sorry…I’m 5’ 1” and AYR’s shorter inseam work for me. not every design has the shortest inseam…but checks out the ones rhat have the 26”. as for paige, i but from nordstrom and take them in to the tailor

I’ve worn Madewell men’s for a few years now, just now trying The Perfect Jean with good experience so far

I just got a really nice pair of Japanese selvage jeans from a company called Rustic Dime, based in CA I believe. Right at that price point - feels like a bargain. Two weight levels but they seem to have inventory shortages at times.

My experience with Uniglo has not been good. I like to buy quality and wear it a long time.

+1 on any Japanese Selvedge brand. Quality of denim is far superior to any fashion brand.

Diesel

Try Todd Snyder and RRL. I also agree with those above who mentioned AG, Rag & Bone, and Diesel.

Thank you all but I guess the issue stands they all places have the smallest inseam as 30 and not 28. Rag & bone, AG, BR 🥲

The AG jeans also shrink in the wash, so get the 30 and wash it a couple of times to see how much needs to be trimmed before you get it tailored.

APC or Denham

Their in store service is so clutch and they do great work.

Reformation

Men's or ladies jeans, if you are going to spend the money to buy good jeans that fit properly, honestly don't worry too much about length because you can always have them tailored to fit the leg whereas getting the seat of a pair of jeans tailored is harder.

Paige jeans, AG or 7 of Mankind. I usually get them on heavy discount at Marshall's (between $50-70) but it's very hit or miss what they have. I 2nd Mother brand jeans. They are pretty hard-wearing (had mine for about 7 yrs)

A&F have good jeans
