Levi 501's £95 - WTF?
So just went to replace some of my jeans, which have too many holes in too many places...turns out that 501's are now £95 a pair in the UK...
Shopped around online and even with a discount code and free delivery the ones I wanted were £58 ish!!! ...and in my quest I found the ones I wanted on Levi's US site for...wait for it...$40, that works out at about £25 per pair!!! Question 1: How is that right? Question 2: Is anyone on here from the states and can send me some over? |

Personally, I like plain- dark blue, boot fit Gap jeans. They're £30 a pair.
The f**kers just don't seem to have them in stock at the mo! |

That's a *rude word* outrage my friend. eBay is you friend.

Re: Levi 501's £95 - WTF?
Rip Off Britain strikes again. Levis deliberately hike their prices over here, claiming to be an 'exclusive brand'. In the US, they're just workwear.
A few years ago, Tesco were sending people over to the states to buy up cheap Levis and were selling them over here for about £28. Levis sued them and won. Ever since then, I've been buying them cheap on Ebay, or finding decent almost new pairs in charity shops, rather than give those greedy *******s my money. I'd switch to a different make, but 501's fit me better than any other jeans. |

Yes, but the shipping will likely make it closer to £40.

I got my last pair in August from jeanstore.co.uk. They were £47 + £4p&p before the VAT increase.
