I also have a couple pairs. They are very well made and comfortable.

My main everyday jeans are Vertx Defiant. The are not as durable but look and fit great and they have the extra magazine pockets on the sides, and that's the main reason I wear them everyday.
They are also a little bit more relaxed than the Origins.

I've been wearing Wrangler regular fit jeans for a long time. Probably well over 30 years. As far as comfort & wear go, they're good enough & I see no need to try anything else.

I wear the Duluth Trading ballroom double flex jeans. The spandexy flex is amazing. I feel claustrophobic when I wear my other jeans.

It's been Wrangler for years. Usually the worst that happens with them is that I wear a hole thru the left rear pocket, thanks to the money clip on the (Ridge?) wallet my wife gave me several years ago. I really like the wallet and plus it's from the missus so I just deal with the wear. Takes a couple of years for the hole to appear, otherwise it's just an unusual faded spot on the pocket. As a real nice bonus for me, in my 36 "waist" size with my Stealthgear hybrid, the belt loops index perfectly with the holster's belt clips for my preferred 4:30 placement. I've still got a pair of Lee as well; good fit but the belt loops are placed a little off for the holster.

Yeah, name doesn't make a ton of sense, in that regard.
But they're made here, at least, though I don't know where they source their materials.

I accidentally ordered a pair of Levi's off Amazon in their stretch fabric. Now I won't order anything else. Super comfy.

Yeah, on those Duluth jeans. What's the difference between DuluthFlex and Double Flex?

Available with or without spandex, in three flavors: Standard (100% cotton), DuluthFlex (99% cotton/1% spandex), or DoubleFlex (70% cotton, 20% polyester/9% rayon/1% spandex).

I haven't tried the latter cotton/poly blend, but I have a number of pairs of the first two types. Personally, I prefer the 99% cotton/1% spandex DuluthFlex version.

No gun owner should be wearing Levis. They are a very far left company and un-American to say the least. They are also very anti Boy Scouts and VERY anti-gun and 2nd Amendment.

I wear Carhartt jeans I buy at my local Farm & Fleet.

I used to buy Levi’s, but no more.

As the name implies, they are extra stretchy.

D'oh! Thanks. Obviously I didn't read enough before posting, sorry.
