No offense...

...but need to up that dad game.
No offence taken Monitor but YOWZAH on the price of those ironheart jeans !
I pay usually average $40 Aussie ( $30 USD) for used Australian MADE jeans on ebay/Gumtree. last made early 2000's.
Levi 504's and 604's. Some 511's and 501's
Some do fit better than others, but as I have said before , "My male modelling days are over...."
They're pricey for sure but I find IH's to be a great starting & reference point in terms of fit, look and generally the kind of style to look for. There are many cheaper alternatives of course and you can find some really cool jeans for much less $ - even though I personally still believe the IH's are worth it as they truly are beautiful and well made jeans. As for what you usually pay for the jeans... Well, I was strongly opposed to buying pricey jeans when I got here and one of the things I am most grateful for to the people of TFL is that they changed my mind on that one. I'm never ever going back to cheap jeans. It's true what they say about getting what you pay for.
As for the modeling days being over, man, the reason I'm telling you this 'cause you're rn pretty much the most active exactly in modeling on the forum and all I'm saying, you have some really great jackets and many jeans that don't really suit you. You can not give a damn and that's cool or you can get some $150 Nudies or some such and look better. For a leather jacket and jeans look, jeans are important.
Agree, the prices are idiotic. I guess it's down to personal values. No one here is a male model so that comment goes without saying. I wish there were alternatives to jeans as the look doesn't appeal to me all that much over the age of 30. Problem is I hate chinos - an awkward, accountant at a weekend barbecue look.
As high as IH prices are, I don't think they're any more idiotic than what we're paying for a Himel or a LW or indeed, Aero or Schott. These prices are there to make sure you're getting quality, durability and just as importantly, a guarantee that you'll look good. It's no different with IH's. Paying $400 for IH's is going to get you some of the best jeans in the world, in both terms of cut and material. I'll agree with you that I too am having trouble paying that much money for jeans but once I decided to do something about my jeans, the alternative suddenly disappeared from the equation. I'm not going back to crap jeans ever again. Not something I ought to be doing to myself.
And again, as far as modeling goes, sorry to say that but posting pics of what you're wearing online makes you a model. Not a runway supermodel but a model none the less. So we model. A lot. And there are a lot of male models here. People discuss their looks, write blogs, etc. Cosplaying as 50's, how TFL started is modeling. That's why TFL is brilliant.
Here, Ship John sells some great fitting denims for $200. I really love these.
