Alberto makes amazing jeans that fit like high-fashion jeans and last forever. Look for the T400 fabric. Made in Germany since 1922 or something, I've had them and worn them every day for years and they look the same. They're $200+ but after I got the fit right get them on Poshmark for $20-40. At that price there's no comparison

Fascinating... didn't realize Poshmark had stuff that cheap!

Yeah it's pretty amazing if you are buying a reputable brand with consistent sizing in a size you know works for you. Also don't be afraid to bid - a lot of time people will list something for $60 and take $20

I'll definitely keep this in mind! Thrifting has been great for try before you buy for me. Takes a long time, and sometimes amazing stuff is either just outside of my size or way too out, but I definitely find stuff that's like 36-34 instead of 36-30 so I cuff it and see. Problem with this is, it affects the fit when the maker assumes you're 6 inches taller than you are xD

Still, I've been blessed to save hundreds on high quality brands, some of which I'd definitely more quickly drop 40$ on in Poshmark barely worn then 200$+ new and possibly still have to return and find out I need a wider waist or something.
