After reading a note in this forum on the same subject I decided to buy a number of different pairs suggested in the note.
The Cabela's jeans and Columbia cargo pants have a much deeper front hip pocket than anything else mentioned.
No other jeans I have worn or at least checked out in a store are close. This includes those 'union made American' jeans someone posted about here (nice but a shallow pocket) or wranglers from Walmart.
The Carhartt's I tried from the old note also have shallow pockets. The cargo pockets are great, and yes you can pocket carry there but it seems awkward to draw, or to be prepared from such a low pocket.
I also have a pair of North Face hiking pants with the removable legs which have deep pockets but they have that artifical feel and noise to them.
I will try to find that older note and my Cabela's receipt for the pants order.
