40 years ago, $20 Sedgefield (Wrangler's premium brand) were substantially better than $12 Wranglers. They fit better (more human shaped but less efficient use of material), the material was heavier and more densely woven, and the seams were triple or quadruple stitched. And those 1980 Wranglers were better than today's Wranglers IMO.
Now I'll just wear $20 Wranglers or $30 Dickies or sometimes Carhardts. I buy the Wranglers when they're on sake for $15 or less. They're fine for casual wear, but they snag/tear easily if you're around exposed nails or thorns. Wore a brand new pair to my parents house, mom need a light bulb changed. I didn't notice her ladder had a small nail head sticking out, and poked a hole in my Wranglers. I darned it and still wear them 2 years later, but I don't think Carhardts would have ripped in the first place. Wouldn't buy crappy imported $50 Levis even if I hadn't started boycotting Levi/Dockers/etc in the 1990s.
