I’ve only recently been able to be picky about my clothes and now been trying to find a good pair of jeans that wont rip or tear.

I do a lot of labor so my jeans usually get pretty beat up, i don’t really expect a pair to last forever but i haven’t had a solid pair last more than a couple months without getting a tear. Every pair i have has both knees ripped open. I’ll fix them with a patch but they always rip in a different spot.

I’d spend $200 on a pair that’ll last at least year.

      Mine have held up for years. I don’t do construction stuff anymore so they’re just daily wear jeans but they basically look new. Seams are all rock solid. A big selling point for me was the fit. They have all sorts of sizes. They have normal, semi stretch, strech, you name it. Plain jeans, cargo pants, slacks. A lot of the ones like the “firehose” ones have a gusset in the groin… so instead of just being sewn into a really thick seam that gets a lot of strain put on it… it has a flat diamond shape in the area that flexes and moves with you so it’s a lot more comfortable especially if you squad down in them.

      If you like cargo pants as well, they have actually useful pockets. They’re made of the same material so they hold up pretty well and I really haven’t had any issue with them ballooning out and getting in the way. Definitely been worth the price for me. They have sales every so often as well which is good. I usually just order directly off the site if I need some.
