OT - what jeans do you wear?

Bonus points if you have an inseam of 35"+

I used to only wear Lucky 363 but have lost some weight and I have to rebuy pretty much all my jeans and pants. Lucky is very low on stock, esp in the long sizes.

Pls post up a specific model name/number if you can. Levi's is a little non-specific.

Walmart has 34x36 George jeans for $11.

Great question. I used to buy either Carhartts and Eddie Bauer, but my last purchase of both has shown that they're now making them in much lighter weight fabric. They won't last nearly as long as they used to. (I'm 34-36, but I guess that's not really relevant to my point.)

I got some new Carhartt Rigby pants. They fit well in the waist and length but are too baggy in the legs. I need to find a slim fit of those.

That other thread someone linked above has some interesting options!

Agave and Adriano Goldschmeid (AG) ....pricey, and not yard work jeans....but they have a little spandex in them so very comfy.

I don't like stretchy jeans, which limits my options.

I pretty much stick to Costco/Kirkland brand. They're cheap and comfortable. They fade faster than Levis or other more expensive brands, but I don't care.

I have been wearing AG Jeans for work and casual wear for a few years now. They are kinda expensive, like $225, which I wont pay. I generally buy them at the Nordstrom Half Yearly sale, or at the AG Outlet store, generally much less than $100.

They are made here in the US, they are comfortable and fit well. Lots of different washes and fits.

If its for working around the house, my go to are Lee Jeans.

There are lots of good options Heritage 34, Paige, Fidelity.... Lots. I used to think that Lucky were good, AG.... WAY BETTER.

Is it paceline without someone throwing out something insane expensive as the definitive solution?

I wear Iron Heart 633s. You can only get them at self edge and they come with a 36" inseam. Hands down the best jeans I've had in terms of quality and durability. I'm currently wearing a pair that is 6 years old and have been repaired multiple times.

Wrangler 20X Style 33 "Extreme Relaxed". You're welcome.

Bruce K · #13 03-04-2021, 11:05 AM

Wranglers

No more Levi’s

Wrangler is more comfortable, more durable, less $$

I've been a big fan of the LLBean Signature jeans the last 2 years ( I think I'm up to 5 or 6 pairs now). Quite comfortable with just a touch of stretch, classic looks, and a fit that's just right - not too trim/slim fit, and not "relaxed"

They're my go to for workwear with a button down (tech guy here), or just wearing around... Granted there hasn't been much of that for a year as I've lived in sweats.

I wore Lee jeans for like 20 years but I guess as my body has changed I found that Wrangler jeans fit me better. So I wore Wrangler for like 12 years and recently bought a new pair, the exact same Model and part # as before. when the jeans arrived and I put on I realized that something was not right. I wrote to Wrangler customer service and they responded that the jeans change two years ago. So I did some research and the parent company of Wrangler jeans (VR) spun off Wrangler as a separate company. Upon further research so the bottom line is that Wrangler changed the jean from a 14.75 thread weight to a 12 thread weight. too late to send back as I already wore. My point in all the is big business competing and changing the product w/o notifying the customer. oh and here is the funny thing Wrangler does offer 14.75 thread weight jean as a customer order for like $68. Just my tail of woe.

anyway I think it is insane to spent $225 or $10 on sale for a pair of jeans imho!!!
