Best cheap blue jeans.

[SPYDERLK]

May be some wild stuff around - none culivated. According to what Iv read the good fiber stuff is barely or not at all hallucenagenic. The stigma is what makes it low demand in the US for its fiber qualities. Should be able to import cloth or cloth products tho. Last I checked the selection was poor.

This is a good thread.

This is a good thread.

From 12 years ago.

Wonder if the prices are still good?

Looks like jeans in the USA are a real bargain. The US ranks #77 at just under $44.

I've never owned a pair of "Levis". The most I've ever paid for jeans is about $15. Usually $9-12. I get the "George" brand at Walmart or what I found on sale. Only the Drug Store Cowboys gotta have Levis. Probably have a large silver belt buckle, Lariat boots, wide brim "caboy" hat and pearl studded long-sleeve that looks like they stole it from a girl. Most likely none of their clothes have ever seen a day of work either--All show and no go.

I also think Rustler is the best brand of cheap jeans. I've probably worn them for work for 50 years. Their sizing is very consistent and they don't have 100 different versions to confuse you. I like them because they have 7 belt loops where many brands have only 5. They fit up on your waist where they are supposed to and have a long zipper instead of those little 3 inch ones some brands have.

When I was showing a lot in horse shows I tried Wrangler Cowboy Cut jeans for a while because that was all that everyone wore in them but they were not as comfortable as the Rustlers and they had so many different styles that you had to check the number on the label to make sure they were the same ones you had been getting or you wound up with some that were so low on your waist they would embarrass a plumber.

That's the first time anybody ever accused me of being a cowboy, drugstore or any other variety. I buy Levi's because they fit me better than anything else I've tried. Funny thing though; when I noticed this thread I was sitting here with a 4 inch tear in the knee of my (formerly) best pair, wondering what I'm going to replace them with.

I've been getting the Rural King jeans. I believe they were $9 the last time I bought some.

Funny, because whereas I find certain ladies sexy in tight ripped jeans, any guy wearing them still just looks like a guy that can't afford new jeans. Well, except for Dwight Yoakum. I wonder if he ever strayed away from his tight faded ripped Levis, having gone totally out of fashion. I had one GF I dated in the 90s comment, on my tight jeans that she could tell my religeon.

I remember a guy I worked with that had been a sailor on a Polish ship, and that jumped ship to freedom. He told me, how they would sew FAKE Levis tabs on Soviet Jeans and sell them. Wonder how they got around the leather patch. Fact. We have some weird little factory in town that makes the leather lables for much of the worlds jean manufacturers including LEVIS.

Key jeans around here. Sale a couple times a year $7.00. Their lined jeans on sale under $20.00

 

[the old grind]

Blue Mountain from TSC ~$15. Heavy denim, quality pockets and stitching like Rustlers. Old Mill lined 5-pocket from Menards. <$20.

Here's a fourth vote for Costco Kirklands. Fit good. Cheap. Durable.

- Jay

As long as they use the same factory for each batch.
Have some items that range all over the place.
T shirts!
Last batch large was smaller the previous med.
Current x large goes below my butt but fits like old med.
Blame it on metric sizing I guess.

Never heard it called a "coin pocket". I thought it was a watch pocket, but since no one carries a pocket watch anymore, I figured pants manufacturers decided to eliminate that pocket.

I think that pocket is also used for 'male protection' devices.

 

[PILOON]

OK.
As a retired senior I own more jeans than ever.
One category is 'work jeans'. ( usually dressy that have seen better days)
The other is 'dressy', those that have not yet received greases from my tractor.

I used to buy 4-5 pairs of 501's (shrink to fit, of course) and gradually destroy them, one by one they'd get ruined for polite society and graduate to the "work pants" pile.

A few years ago I got some carhartt pants & overalls and let me tell you, I spent less on one pair than on a pair of Levis and they're so much tougher. The trick is to change pants before I go work.

My last Levis are now about halfway through their lifespans so I'll need to figure out what to do for non-hard-work pants next in a year or two I guess... my wife likes the fit of these pants, so I'll probably stick with them, though they're definitely not made out of the same material that they were 20-30 years ago.

I will have to try the Carhartts, they seem to get some good reviews.

Changing pants before going to work is easy... I need to remember to change before transitioning from "going to town" to "working around my property." If I get a year from a pair of jeans or most other articles of clothing I'm happy. I don't know how people can have something last for decades.


edit: a quick search shows them even more pricy than Levis. I may have to go back to Wranglers, although they don't seem to last as long. (I write the purchase date on the inside pocket.)

I wear Cabelas jeans. They were around $17 and still look good going into their sixth year.

When you REALLY need to impress .......folks will hear you coming before they see you. My son refuses to be seen with me, in public, when I wear these. Go figure .......

Those are REAL MAN'S pants... nobody else would dare go out in public with them.

 

[Diggin It]

Goodwill.

$3 usually. All sorts of brand names in nearly new condition, some ARE new.
