Best place to buy jeans?
Discussion
I seem to have trouble purchasing jeans that fit half decently. Perhaps I'm just an odd shape but they all fit like either leggings or flares.
There seems to be no consistency in fit either. I'll manage to get a pair that look half decent, order the same pair in the same colour online because predictably they have no more stock in the shop and they will be completely different.
There must be a solution to this first world problem so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Budget would be £100 but preferably less. It would be nice if they were available in a store as well so that I could try them on.

If you want jeans (or chinos) to fit perfectly, try Spoke London.
Order online for your shape and size and if they’re not 100% right they’ll refund or replace with another size

In fact the classic range is in budget
Edwin, in particular the ED55 model which is their best fit for me.
Probably best value to quality especially in sale.
Although all this depends and your height and waist size.
Get yourself to a Selfridge's if you can, they sell loads of brands including what's been mentioned already to try on.

I’ve been through loads of brands and price points of jeans and have come back to Gap with their consistent levels of comfort, fit and price.
I don’t like their flex denim but that’s just a personal fit preference.

Thank you all for the suggestions so far.
I have found that levis jeans are inconsistent with the fit and sizing. I recently tried a pair in a store, liked them but they didn't have the colour I wanted in store so ordered online instead. When they arrived they were about an inch too short and they seemed flared at the ankles. Perhaps I was just Unlucky?
Spoke look good. Do they have a walk in store?
Just for reference I have been wearing M&S slim fit 360 stretch jeans. They are £45 a pair from memory but I have pairs that are 32 and 34 inch waist due to the sizing inconsistency. Leg Length is long (33inch). They also tend to either shrink or go baggy depending on the colour.

Uniqlo.
Used to buy these all the time years ago, then either I changed or their cut changed and they didn't fit nicely anymore.I now find that the jeans that fit me best are Next, the 34 Long fit perfectly, plus they are £28 a pair. That reminds me, I keep intending to order 3 pairs online and leave them in the packaging for the inevitable day where they stop selling them.
To me the name and price are irrelevant, the most important thing to me is do they fit properly.

Nudie make really nice fitting jeans,
Slightly over budget but you might find some in the sales.
Same with Evisu, you might get lucky and find some in budget.
Bit of a bump on this but what style Nudie do you buy?!Slightly over budget but you might find some in the sales.

In all other brands I buy slim fit which are slightly tighter but still have space to breath.
I ordered some Nudie Lean Dean as they are slim fit & in the image look like the sort of jeans i'd normally wear.
They'vre arrived and they are literally spray on tight, i'd describe them as super skinny.
Before I reorder what style do people wear?!
or have i got old and fat and not noticed?
Primark. Loads of different styles in different sizes so you can try about 15 pairs to find the ones that suit best. And the quality is surprisingly good considering they're sub £20, often around £12. They do zip and button fly. Find some that just fit right, in the right colour and style, and by 3 pairs. That's my method. That'll do you a good 5 years for probably £50 or less.
