Blue Jeans..."Your" brand?
OK, I'm bored at this moment...........
I got a couple of pair of Levi's for Christmas. Relaxed Fit 550's. Washed. Decades ago I'm sure I've had a pair of Lee's, Wrangler's and random store brands....but that's far enough gone that I don't remember when. Levi's have always been my blue jeans. Any preferences out there?

I'm cheap, so I buy Wrangler. I need to spend a little more for better work pants because I'm always climbing ladders, remodeling something, sawing fire wood or carrying part parts. I have some Levi's that I get for B-days and Christmas. I occasionally buy Levi's for myself. I'm still a 33 in relaxed fits.
Someone told me I'm a pessimist and I need to develop a positive attitude. So, to be "positive", I started saving for the future. I'm saving up all of my old 32" waist jeans that I can't wear anymore so I'll have something to wear after we're all starving to death from the world economic collapse. |

Whatever is on sale.. But actually like the fit of Wranglers. Bought a pair of Rustlers for something like $8 once cause I needed a clean pair of dry pants ASAP, that was a waste of $8 but got me home dry.
Just don't tuck your shirts in and no one will know how cheap you really are.

Lucky. They're expensive, but worth it. Had a pair for 10 years now that still look brand new.

Levi's forever. Till about a year ago. The Levi's weren't holding up as good as they used to (holes in the legs) (NOT made in America).
So I bought a pair of Wranglers. They seem softer & thicker material. No holes yet. Also saving a couple pair of 32's for the economic crash. Might be saving some 34's after Christmas.

Levis makes great tall jeans. I see that Wrangler offers them in extended ranges too, so I may give them a try now. I need a 38" inseam. Even with relaxed fit jeans, I need to purchase a larger waist to allow for room in the seat/thighs and then have them taken in at the waistband. If I got the correct waist size, I can't get the pants on as they are too tight.

I generally get some years service out of the Levi's. Other than a tag that they've added around the waist area, I've never seen a difference in them over the years. I wear a pair everyday to the office and usually have 8-10 pair I rotate through. I'd never get rid of the old ones but the wife makes me when the butt or crotch get too ventilated.

Never cared for Levi's, they were always tight in the thigh area on the legs. Now I prefer Wrangler, although the local Rural King sells Real Workware brand, they do OK.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
