Wrangler jeans

[rustythread]

Despite a lot of weekends working in the woods or crawling under the truck, I've never managed to wear out a pair of Wranglers. Past few years, as gravity gets stronger, I've taken to jeans of the "Wild ***" brand, bought from a loggers' supply house. Just as tough as the Duluth, at about half the price. Now, If I can just find a pair with the tool pockets on both legs...

Does anybody on the forum have a sewn-in / sewn-on holster kn their jeans?

Rural King - Real Work Wear jeans are becoming my favorite.
Not too thick, not too thin, and the best part - $8.99/pr.

Graduated from Roebucks to Levis when I found enough little jobs to pay for the between the 8th and 9th grade.

I had a few pairs of Wranglers but preferred Lee's for a long time.
I like Carharts for cutting brush or building fence.

My daughter in law married our son last Oct, her Dad had passed some years ago, her Paternal grandpa was going to walk her down the isle, he contracted a bone C that went pretty quick. I got to know him over the last few years of his life.

He was farm raised but worked sales jobs after the Navy. His brother farmed and he always wanted to get a farm, he could afford it but his wife would not see living on a farm. She passed and it was too late for him to start farming. The love never left him.

I had 2 cows and calves, horses and chickens that would eat out of your hand. My future DIL would bring him out to feed and pet the livestock. He loved it. The 1st time one cow and one horse sniffed his face when we went to the barnyard, He was as excited as a kid with a new puppy.

When he went into hospice he told his granddaughter to give the farm boy his Wranglers, I think I got 10 like new pair. And they are the right size. I'm set for a long time.

Nothing like a pair of well broken in jeans. Back when I first got them they made 3 trips through the washing machine otherwise you ended up with blue jockey shorts. The older ones took sometime to break in but when they wore in they were great. Jeans is what I wear most days and outside of an occasional rip or tear ( they make iron on patches for that) they almost last years. Frank

I don't wear jeans too much these days. When I do it's Wrangler Riggs that have the diamond gusset in the crotch. More often I will wear the Riggs ripstop pants.

There are other brands that have the diamond gusset, but the Riggs are cheap and easy to find around here.

Back in the 50's a new pair of jeans could stand on their own.

If you are slim enough to wear them (34 max) they do make the anatomy look in top form.
At 6'2" I have to say that a boot cut was plain good looking
when broken in...............
and yes , I do remember those comic books in our western gear stores.
