better jeans for pocket carry...

[DaveB57]

Have you noticed Levi's pretty much suck for pocket carry? 7.5" deep pockets. Not great for OWB cary either because of only 5 belt loops...

Now when I shop for jeans, I look for deeper pockets & 7 belt loops...

I have 2 styles of Carhartt jeans that have 8.5" deep pockets & a few pair of Eddie Bauer that have 9" deep pockets (both that have 7 belt loops)...I'm just sayin'...

In my opinion, no gun owner should ever wear Levis. They give tons of money to anti-gun groups and others that I consider very un-American. There are a couple of brands of jeans that are specifically tailored for ccw. Personally, I prefer Wranglers.

Wrangler relaxed fit for me. Seven belt loops and plenty of room in the pocket for my 642 in a Mika holster.

 

[BlackSky]

The Wranglers I have work good for a J frame in a pocket holster, front right pocket.

Another vote for Wrangles relaxed fit.

I carry a 442 or a 640-1 in a Mika holster much of the time.

Just a regular old pair of Wrangler relaxed fit's here too. Nat Nast makes a pretty relaxed fit pair of jeans with reasonable sized pockets (kel-tec's all but dissappear and a ruger LCR is barely noticeable) if you're into designer labels

Max, you're a real American. I totally agree. The nimrods at Levi's lost my dollars almost twenty years ago. They can kiss the whitest part of me. I hope they go out of Business. Myself, I usually wear Lee carperter's jeans.

When I shop for jeans, I try my carry guns on with the pants. With Lee carpenter's jeans every pair are a little different, but about half of them are excellent for CCW.

Try the B.J.'s brand of blue jeans. My Model 38 in pocket holster fits in the front pocket perfectly. Great jeans and wear like iron.

I have been wearing Levis for as long as I can remember, but, after all of the favorable recommendations in this thread, I am going to check out the Wranglers.

Riders Jean Company are loose fitting and the only I've found with a wide deep front pocket. They are made by Lee. Fits a snubnose pocket holster fine. The only place I've found them (locally) are The Anderson's General Store.

I wear whatever cheap crap they have a Target.

Tractor Supply sells C.E. Schmidt jeans for less than $20 per pair including tax. They are very comfortable, durable, look good, and have generous front pockets. I bought my last pair of Levi's several years ago.

I have been buying jeans from Duluth Trading Co., on the internet.
They have very deep and sturdy pockets. I can easily carry a 3" J-frm in a front pocket holster comfortably.

I never pocket carry but I find Wranglers the best holster jeans out there...the side loop is in the perfect spot to run under the holster for 3-4 o'clock carry...and only around 14 bucks at Target...I've tried relaxed fit but the waistband is less supportive for me....

I'll second that. They also have the best pockets for a j frame, but I really don't understand how some guys can carry a Model 19 snub that way. Occasionally, I read about someone pocket carrying one, but I've realized that a j frame is my pocket size limit. I don't think I could carry an SP101 Ruger in a pocket either. Like me, just too chunky.

Another vote for Wranglers - I wear the 5 Star relaxed fit and carry a J-frame in the pocket.

+1

I have a pair of 34's and 36's and they both fit the same. The tags say there were made in different country's, but I thought 1" was 1". Wrangler carpenters work as good as the Lee's. As a matter of fact, they look identical like they could have been made at the same place and time but got different tags.

 

[Goffman]

Where do you guys buy your Wrangler jeans? I usually shop at Kohls, but apparently Kohls doesn't carry the Wrangler brand.

 

[sipowicz]

Targettttttttt

I got my last Wranglers at Target.
