The Carhartts that I have are really tough. I don't remember them being cheap, but they weren't expensive either. They come in a bunch of different weight fabrics, so you can figure out what works for your application.

In the past if the cloths didn't fit something was wrong with the cloths. Now a days if they don't fit something is wrong with you.

We just changed to Dickies carpenter jeans for our uniforms at work. I dislike them. One size fits perfect in the waist when new but I knew they would shrink. I got the next size and the waist is way to large and the legs are very baggy. I told the uniform guy to crank up the water temp and shrink them a bit more.

But the company pays for them and i will wear whatever they get me!

The very best pair of jeans I've ever had was DKNY.
Very thick fabric, strong, and very comfortable.

The coolest jeans still to be found anywhere as worn by Marlon Brando in the Wild one and James Dean, and every cool dude must still be the original Levis 501XX Selvedge, shrink to fit 14oz denim. Lee also do an original like Levis using the heavyweight 13oz Denim.

Lucky's for me, I wait until they go on sale. For working around the yard and such I'll go with an old pair of Levi or Wrangler. The Wrangler cargo pants work well too, though the size is bs, get a size up IMO.

You know it is kinds funny how people view the value of things. Me, I would never drop a couple of hundred or even one hundred dollars on a pair of jeans. To me they are just cloths and don't justify spending that much as such. Now straights on the other hand I view as special and will drop a couple of hundred on one when I have got perfectly good results from 10 dollar straights. Strange how that is, matter of priorities I suppose.

Bummer that I got in this one so late...First off Geeze earcutter..I didn't realize you were so Metro ha ha ! Kiddin ! But Honestly,when I wear jeans it's Wrangler all the way. Better fit,better wear. And I kin get's'em in fat guy size and they feel great. No skinny boy jeans for this old dude.I usually get the relaxed fit jeans.Just tried the Carpenter pants, meah...I llike the regular jeans a little better,but that's splittin hairs fer me.That being said,my go to pants anymore are OD green BDU's from the surplus store. They take abuse and are comfortable as heck. I go for the para military vagabond comfy look these days heh.

Boot cuts, I have been wearing Wranglers for years (The wife says Wrangler butts drive her nuts ) Levi's 501 were my goto until about 2002, I kept noting they seemed thinner..

I am seriously thinking of trying the Duluth Trading Co. Firehose Jeans next just to see.. supposedly they are still US made..

Watch out on sizes with Duluth Glen. Good products but sometimes their sizing is a little funky
