This is a single-brand page. Every pair below is Still Here, which makes the comparison a fair one for once. The range runs from Skater Jean at $260 to Sport Jean at $325, across 12 pieces. If you are buying one thing, start at the bottom of the range and only move up when the fabric weight and finishing genuinely changes.

Denim sizing is rise and stretch, not waist number. If the pair has any elastane it will relax about half a size within a day, so buy it snug. The jump from $260 to $325 buys fabric weight and finishing, not a different idea, so decide how often you will actually wear it before you pay the top of the range.

Buy Childhood Jean at $280. It sits in the middle of the range, and the middle is where you stop noticing any improvement in fabric weight and finishing. Skater Jean at $260 is the sensible first purchase if you have never owned one and are not sure how often you will wear it. Sport Jean at $325 is the one to skip unless you already know the brand suits you, because at that price the wash is more specific than it looks. Buy it snug if there is any stretch in it, because it will relax about half a size within a day of wear.
