    Default Does anyone own Diamond Gusset USA made jeans?

    I needed a new pair of jeans and I made an effort to try to buy USA made products if possible. I came across

    Diamond Gusset Jeans

    Does anyone own jeans of this brand? I know nothing about them, so maybe I'll get some "Sure, I've been wearing them for years. You've never heard of them?!?" responses, but who knows.


    When I'm in the market for a new pair of boots, I'll probably buy CHIPPEWA BOOTS
    . Sadly, Redwing boots, made in my home state of Minnesota for years apparently now has a majority of their boots made in China. I still wear a pair of Doc Marten boots that I bought over ten years ago back when they were still made in the U.K. (now made in India IIRC). I'm trying to wear them out but haven't yet.

    Nope, I never heard of them. However I am sure there are several brands made in the U.S and I know I've seen them online but I can't think of them.

    Chris I found them in the 'madeinusa.org' website search engine here. No personal experience. Still getting some wear out of my old 501s from twenty years ago.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I'm familiar with them and I've owned a pair. I like 'em a lot. They fit more "rightly" than the other jeans I own.

    If you plan to order, the best thing you can do is to take them at their word and measure for ordering just as they suggest.

    I'm told they're quite popular on the Nashville scene.

    I'm wearing the pair I bought right now. I did measure the waist and the first pair they sent fit in the waist but I didn't like the cut. I ordered the relaxed fit, and the legs were very wide. I felt like I was wearing clown pants. I sent them back and exchanged for the regular fit. I'm happy with them.

    The denim, like most any jeans I've tried in the last decade or so is thinner than when I was younger. It would be nice to get a heavier denim USA made pair of jeans if such a thing exists.

    Never heard of this brand but I am all over them now, thanks for posting, I am very familiar with the Diamond Gusset design itself, from many years of martial arts pants, IIRC Century was the first to use it...

    Check this one out too, Glen: ALL AMERICAN CLOTHING CO.
    I've never purchased any of their stuff, but they sell gusset jeans as well. The next pair of jeans I need I'll try these out to compare the two.

    Ahhh...........sittin here in my USA made jeans. It feels good on more than one level!!

    I've had good luck with Bill's Khakis jeans. They're made in the US and come in a couple of wts of denim.

    Yup; I still have a couple pairs of the old Century design Chuck Norris jeans.
    I mostly wear Wrangler 13MWZ 90% of the time though.

    I like the Carpenter jeans, they have to have room. I'm getting older and hate restrictive jeans...I'm 47, size 32, I'm in good shape, and hope to get back to the gym after this "Pars" Fracture heals....Glen may have heard of it, it's a Martial arts injury...
    I still wear Doc Marten's too, or Harley Davidson boots. They are very comfortable, like Doc's....
