I bought a different coloured pair at Harry Rosen's in Toronto not knowing the brand, but was in love after trying them on. Retail they cost $300 before taxes so it was an indulgent purchase. The chance to buy them at more half off on Amazon was an easy decision. Now be forewarned that the Amazon version is an made in the US (a major selling point on Paige advertising) but rather made in Mexico. Probably explains, partly, the Amazon vs retail pricing. That being said, the quality of my retail bought jeans (Federal and Lennox) are identical to the Amazon pair. One other warning, I bought size 31 as I knew that to be the right size through my retail experience, but I am really a true 33 or 34. Do not buy your true waist size - buy a couple size down. The last warning, as these are not a thick jean, don’t expect to get the same wear or tear on these. These are something you wear infrequently; I wouldn’t expect these to last more than a year or two tops.
