Best cheap blue jeans.

[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.

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.

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.

Goodwill.

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