Arizonas or Levis, I have both. I absolutely cannot stand the button fly. Urgent trips to the john, you young guys will understand some day, makes a zipper front mandatory. LOL

I used to only buy Levi's Silver Tabs, but then when I couldn't buy a 'normal' pair because all they made was washed, stained, faded, wierd looking silver tabs I changed to Carhartts. D237 carpenter jeans last forever, have a leg pocket on both sides, and fit well. My cell phone goes in the right side leg pocket, my Leatherman in the left side if I choose to take it with me. The company I used to work for was a Carhartt dealer; cost plus 10% was nice. Retail markup is crazy...

I've been buying Wrangler lately because the Levis I was wearing were made cheaply and had premature failure. The Wrangler have been giving me better service. Also, Dale Jr. likes them. LOL

I have 1 pr. of Levi w/red tag from decades back, 4 pr. w/orange tag, and several with what looks like white tag all from a decade ago.

Lately I buy Lee or Wrangler and have a couple of Arizona jeans. For years jeans have been my preference for casual wear, especially after wearing business suits for work for years. Couldn't wait to get home and throw on a pair of jeans.

I buy most of my jeans at the VF Outlet store at the Edinburgh Outlet Mall. They sell all brands of jeans and many very reasonable.

For daily wear to work, Wrangler painter jeans and Dickey brown painters(I love these pants). For going out, a few pairs from The Buckle, Polo, and my absolute favorite... Diesel Jeans. I have two pair I bought while living in Dallas 6 years ago and they ain't cheap, yet they look like the day I bought 'em...Mike

While we're on the subject, here's a great place to purchase your A-V cables, etc. Personally I've used them several times.

Been on the Levis 517 Boot-Cut jeans for a couple decades now, good stuff.

Also got a couple pairs of Ralph Lauren (Polo) cargo pants with forty-eleven zippers and pockets on 'em. Got 'em at the outlet store, r e a l comfy pants, if a bit spendy. Went back and got more cos they were so good. I call 'em my B.P.E's, or 'best pants ever'.

Wore nothing but Levi's for years. But the price kept going up and the quality down. Switched to Wrangler's. Just as durable, fit better, and cheaper.

Thats what I wear from JCP. They have the best cut and the best fit. 34x36 in the classic cut. When they are on sale $20.

Levi's were the choice for many years but as of 6 or 7 years ago, they just didint hold up and I switched.

I think Dickies are. We provided them (the industrial version not the walmart version) for our customers. Those things are built like iron.

Just don't tuck your shirts in and no one will know how cheap you really are.
Strip joint, huh?

Same here for the same reasons. Levis went all to hell when they shipped out to be made oveseas. I ain't gonna pay 42 bucks for a pair of crap jeans. Used to be all I wore was Levis... jeans and shirts.

My mom worked for Wrangler in Woodstock, Virginia from 1980 until she retired in 2004. Every Christmas I got a couple of pairs of jeans and a couple of shirts.... all Wrangler.

I like the Sam's Club brand for work @ $13.00 a pair. I get exposed to battery acid and you know what that does to clothes. But, the damage doesn't show until you wash them!
When I wear out the three remaining pair of Levis I will switch to Sam's Club exclusively.
