Well I am in search of a new jean company. I used to be a happy customer of Levi's 569 style, however they have seemed to have changed the cut and lowered the weight of the denim. I have tried Eddie Bauer and American Eagle, I just don't like the "sits below the waist" cut. What brand of jeans do you guys buy? I prefer the roomier cut jeans that are pretty durable. Thanks...

I really like the Wrangler with the u-shaped seat. I also have some IZOD brand really heavy denim and comfortable. The new Duluth brand looks they would be worth a try.

I used to not think anything of jeans.  Whatever the cheapest I could find, usually old navy for $20-25.  Then my wife(girlfriend) at the time convinced me to try Big Star.  The are on the expensive side, but man are the comfy.  Only place to get them around here is The Buckle, which might have the right to them anyways!

If you like roomier, try Carhartt relaxed fit.

Scared of the angry beavers?

Carhartt all the way. The other brands dont seem to hold for as long as the Carhartts do.

Lee here, but I use regular fit.

My brother in law referred to his roomy trousers as his dancing pants.  Said he wore them for the ballroom.

I am not too picky. Usually Wranglers, cheap and easy to find. They hold up fine as "normal every day " jeans. but for work it's either Carharts, or Riggs workwear, which is made by Wrangler. As a fat guy with skinny legs,narrow hips, and a big gut I have never found a pair of Levi's that fit me too well.

I usually where American Eagle, of whichever Levi's I can fit my hockey legs/butt into, LOL.

I have the opposite problem. My small gut isnt the problem my legs are big enough that I cant get Lee, Wrangler,or most Levis over my thighs. When I can find a pair that go over my thighs its like wearing a pair of denim tights.

And it aint got nothing to do with my butt. I have a small cute butt. Least thats what Ive always been told.

EXCELLENT......

Also, the fire hose pants are very good quality

The pink tutu should take care of that.

 

Wranglers for regular jeans and Wallyworld Faded Glory for carpenters jeans.

 

Edit: For work I wear Dickies double knees pants. They are not jeans but I can get a year or so of wear out of them. Blue jeans I can get 2 months max.

Which is exactly why I wear it, or my kilt. The breeze it lets in is a added bonus.

Probably cuts down on the expense of talcum powder

Yes it does. The next best alternative ive found to avoid chaffing is wearing compression shorts instead of regular drawers.

A few years back the quality of the Levi's just went downhill.  I switched over to Lee's.

Check out True Religion, about $170 a pair.  I like Tommy Hilfiger and recentluy bought some VERY comfortable American Rag for I think 30 a pair.

 

I really like the American Eagle cargo shorts. Tried their jeans and they shrunk, length and waist. I have a brand new, unworn pair I'll sell cheap.

Wranglers Relaxed Straight. Roomy enough yet not too baggy and they last a while.

 

Before I lost 30 lbs the "Loose Straight" was what I wore.

 

Back before I gained all the weight in the first place, I wore Levis. I loved them too. I had 3 pairs that lasted me a year or so. Went from a 36 to a 40 nearly 42. Tried finding levis that fit and they were extremely uncomfortable. Levis are not for fat people!

If you want really comfortable, long lasting trousers the way to go is a set of quality reproduction WW2  USGI cotton herringbone twill fatigue pants. They are loose in the crotch,butt, theighs to allow freedom of movment in the field. They are intentionally oversized to be worn OVER another pair of pants, but not baggy.........if that makes sense. And they are made to fit around your TRUE waist, not under your gut, or like the hip huggers that many jeans today are. Plus the HBT material is lighter, tougher and breaths better than denim. The 1941 Army, and USMC patterns have regular pockets like jeans, and the mid war "special" pattern, and 1944 pattern USMC pants have huge cargo pockets that a Plano 3600 box can fit in........if you need that kind of thing. I never cared for having much weight in those pockets other than a couple K-rations, or my empty garand en-bolcs that I picked up. A couple full clips of ammo or grenades in those pockets just makes it difficult to move around in. They will outlast any jeans made, but they ain't cheap. $50-$75 a pair for imported ones, and $100+ for ones made still made in the USA on original WW2 era textile equipment.

I use to like gander mountain brand jeans. I have a lot of pairs that are at lest 10 years old. I am not real tuff on my jeans. But they have lasted this long. A few years ago they changed there cuts. The fabric is thinner and they do not fit as good. They also do not last as long.

 

Because of this I only wear armed forces fatigues. I dont not care ifs its camo or not. They are well built and last a long time.

Another vote for Carhartt

Find an OLD pair of vintage Levi's and hold on to'em. They're worth $$$$$$.
