Re: [MBZ] OT: We talked about socks, how about blue jeans?

I used to be a Levi’s guy, as I had an uncle that worked for them his whole life and often passed me freebies as I was his sample size when I was younger. I noticed maybe 10-15 years ago that the fabric was noticeably lighter and that they didn’t wear nearly as long - but the prices weren’t any

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 fit/feel better. El Mercado de Wal sells them cheap enough. Levi lost its way ages ago. Try carpenter pants, the fabric is a bit thicker and the fit is looser (loser) and they have the pencil/tool pocket and hammer loop for added utility. If you want to look like an old geek cargo
