Carhartt double fronts ftw followed closely by good ol Ben Davis. ~$50 for each. Levis used to be real tough back in the day but no longer. Haven't had a set of wranglers since junior high but I remember them chafing the crap outta me. lol

$19-30 @ Sierra - Results for "carhartt double front" up to 66% off at Sierra Trading Post

Mountain Khakis there are less than $40

ive been wearing the same pair of jeans as my "work" jeans which entail working at a tire and auto service shop and working at my families properties doing yard work, landscaping etc

i bought them from anchor blue a few years ago and only tears are from me stepping on the bottoms

maybe i dont wear them in as tough situations as you but theyve been good to me

I found a line of jeans from Duluth Trading Co. called "ballroom" because it has extra material in the crotch so you can crouch down easier
Duluth Trading Co made fantastic quality American Made jeans.
I still have a few pairs in storage.
I do believe they transferred manufacturing to Mexico a few years ago, so your results may vary.

one of my favorite flannels (say what you want, it's comphy) is made by Lucky and on the edge by the last bottom the little sewn on tag says Lucky You. When people ask about I have to turn in my man card

Thank you! I figured needing jeans that can take a lot of abuse implied I was looking for men's jeans. If I was looking for women's pants I'd just ask for something that makes my *** look phenomenal and has reinforced knees.

I'm pretty tough on my cloths, Carhartts are the only pants I've found that last me longer than 3 months.
