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!

Anyone got any experience with the quality? Will it their products last a while?

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.

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

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.
