dkees, I know what you mean. My 32 waist jeans don't fit anymore either. Or my 33s and most my 34s. Funny how that works.

If quick-drying is a desired trait, check out Rock Jeans by RailRiders, purveyors of high-quality technical outdoor sports clothing. These are cut similarly to conventional cotton jeans, but are made of tough nylon canvas which is lighter and softer than denim, reinforced at the cuffs, knees, and seat, accomodate 1-1/2" belts, have a handy side pocket for a knife, zip-closed rear pockets. Expensive, but apparently extremely durable --- mine just don't show any wear or tear.

Walmart, Wranglers, never more than $15 bucks. Last for years. Get better with every wash.

Costco's Kirtland brand are probably made overseas by preteens but retail for $12.95 and I get 8-10 months out of a pair. The belt loops are the first things to wear out on mine because of the tools I carry in my back pockets and on the belt when working.

Avoid Guide Gear brand from Sportsmans Guide catalog. I've bought both their fleece and flannel lined for hunting and cold weather riding. The flannel held up decently , but the fleece lined fell apart with just a few washings.

Thats were I get most of my clothes. They still have the tag on them most of the time, 40.00 pants for 6.00, 70.00 shirts for 7.00.

My biggest problem is finding pants in 28 length. All the stuff seems to be for tall people and I seem to be shrinking.

try this:
Men's Clothing: Find the Hottest Looks in Men's Clothes at Express
yes they sell junk but they also sell levi's 501 unwashed just like old times. only thing is I can only find them in the button down. nothing in zipper for unwashed. sears for a long time was the last holdout for unwashed original levi's. maybe some small town markets still have them. also western wear stores are good only many do not sell levi's.
good thread. what a shame, something so american that has sold out. while in the coast guard and on leave in germany we would have the locals offering to buy the levi's we were wearing. why doesn't anyone appreciate quality these days?

Thanks for this thread guys. I gave up Levi's years ago due to their anti-gun ways and have been searching for a regular replacement ever since.
They haven't been discussed much so I'll add my experience with Duluth's, they are tough as nails. The front pockets are EXTREMELY deep, which comes in handy for folks that like to keep J frames in there. The only negative is that they run a little on the baggy side.

There are jeans other than Wrangler Boot Cut?
I have heard alot of good things about these jeans. My question is do they stay true to size after being washed or do they shrink like crazy?
After reading some of the posts on this thread, I ordered a pair of Diamond Gussett jeans and received them in about 3 business days. They were true to size before and after washing. I am very happy with them and will be ordering more from them in the future.

Carhart at TSC stores. I tried a couple of pair of CE Schmidt there and they are a quality jean but they don't fit me as well as Carhart so in the future I'll spring for them when the go on sale.

Another vote for Tractor Supply. The denim shirts last just like the jeans. Last fall I got two pairs for about 10 bucks each, had some sort of sale going on. I'm fixed for a while. WG

Bingo. There's alot of truth here. Levi's are anti-gun so I will avoid them whenever possible. Lately I have been buying Carthardt and they do nicely. I always object to the "resistance is futile" crowd. If a company takes it's profits to support anti-gun propaganda, guess what? I reserve the right to buy my jeans from one of the other 100 companies that make blue jeans. It's a homogeneous product and substutes are all over the place. It's a monopolistically competitive market. Many sellers offerring a slightly differentiated product. From a business standpoint it's foolish for any company to take a stance like this since substitues are easily found.
If you like your guns, find another brand of jeans to buy. Carhardt and Arborwear are two good ones for durability.
