Good jeans that do not cost a fortune?

I need to buy new jeans. All the ones I have are from the Gap, and I love the way they fit me, but lately I have been noticing that within 6 mos, the front of the thigh area (between the waist and knee area) gets sorts frayed ... very worn looking. It's like they changed the makeup of them and they are lesser quality. They used to be sooo good ....

So I want to know where I can buy jeans that are of good quality but that won't cost me a fotune. Gap's are the only ones I've found that are long enough for me (I am 5'7' and wear heels a lot) and don't bag at the waist ....

Anyone have any good suggestions? I don't shop in the city at all and am looking to spend $50-75.

TIA!

Ive noticed the same thing with my Gap jeans!! I normally buy them at Express and they make regular, short, and long. Im 5'7 and im kinda in the middle of the regular and long sizes.

I third Hydraulics!!! Theyre so reasonably priced and fit sooooo well.

I love the nordstroms jeans in the juniors section, I think they're called JH or something like that? It's the nordstrom's brand. They fit so well and they're around $75 but if you go to nordstroms off the rack they're like $30

i've fallen in love with the jeans from XXi in the city(aka the huge sister store of forever21)...so try forever21! they sell all the same stuff. They're super comfy, real cute & insanely inexpensive. Try it out!
