My jeans keep falling down........I think I dropped a waist size.

So......usually I would buy Levis.........but the last several pairs I had didn't last. In one instance, the ass split open when I got into the car and I had to buy emergency pants at a discount store.

So..........what to buy?

I am really not into designer jeans; it's not that I think that it is stupid to spend over $100 for jeans, it's just that I think it is stupid to pay more than $100 for jeans.

I found a website that listed a bunch of people that still make jeans in the USA.....but without trying them on, who can tell how they fit?

In my "research" I came across the concept of a "gusseted crotch"........a diamond shaped gusset which is sewn in to the convergence of the rest of the pieces of denim in the crotch..........gives you room and lessens male camel toe. This sounds brilliant.

I am also leaning toward the "work wear" type jeans because they seem to look and fit the most like normal jeans.

Carharrt, Wrangler, and a few others have work jeans.

Wrangler also has exploded crotch jeans but they are likely made offshore.

There are domestic mail order suppliers that have gusset jeans but I am unsure about fit.

****.

Someone help me..........maybe Ram can tell me what jeans to buy.

I like Levi's for how they fit, the best.

Kirkland jeans are good, too. That's the Costco brand.

Never liked wranglers.

Levis and only Levis for me!

You would spend $100 for a pair of jeans? I wouldn't even spend that much on a pair of nice dress pants...

I like 501's but I think the quality has went to ****. I want to try some new jeans too but not sure where to start.

I only wear Wrangler cowboy cut, and work in them all day long with no problems at all. I won't buy Levis as they support gun control groups.

Levi's, still, but agree to spotty quality.

I've owned super-duty work pants (Filson) before and they are heavy and uncomfortable.

I would sample the Carhartt denim product (not the lightweight canvas unless you are going to cut brush/firewood),

I have worn Levis exclusively for decades but I've simply had enough.

I can no longer rationalize buying jeans that fall apart.

rfenst.......who said they were buying $100 jeans??????

there was a steve and barry's in the mall by my house a while back. i think the company has since disappeared. anyway, they sold jeans for $10. they're not the best, by far, but $10. i still have a few pair from there, and i wear them all the time. that was a really cheap store. i guess that's why they're gone now.

i heard old navy advertise $19 jeans the other day. i may have to try them out. i won't ever pay $30 or more for jeans again. none of them are worth it to me.

^Steve&Barry's kicked ass.

The quality was "as good" as dept store brands..........PLUS they had a massive array of ignorant t-shirts.

i was wrestling around with someone and a pair of my steve & barry jeans split right through the crotch. this was fairly early on new years, so i partied the rest of the night with a little extra ventilation. i'm sure it was quite offensive to everyone else. i drank enough scotch not to care.
