Anyone have experience with Levi's premium jeans? Are they worth the extra dosh?
Looking at either 502 or 514 in the cotton-lyocell blend

What do you want out of your jeans
You can get higher quality denim from Japanese Levi’s repro brands
If that’s what you’re interested in
I thinkTCB is in the same price range as the expensive Levi’s
the best quality for $70, basically. And a roomy but not quite baggy fit
the lyocell is cool too, everything i've had with modal/lyocell feels nice
you're not going to be finding truly "premium" denim at that price point. You should focus more on finding a fit that makes you feel good. It's not like the denim is going to fall apart like tissue paper
I'm not familiar with the Levi's fits you mentioned but if you like them and know you're interested in the lyocell blend, you should go for it
I have a number of their "premium" items (leather patch, big E). I found there wasn't any real discernable difference between their regular stuff, at least between the two 512 jeans that I have. The price difference shouldn't be too large from what I remember. So if you are purchasing something from their premium line then I'd purchase it because you like the item, not for the increase of "quality"
Levis premium arent worth the premium
