IMO carhartt last the longest, the new levi's suck

 

I can't believe I opened this thread???

 

Hmmmmm, a jeans thread in the touring section?

I moved up to a touring bike so I didn't have to wear jeans no more, it's khaki shorts and a hawaiian shirt for me from now on.

Now if I could just find a way to keep the flip-flops from falling off when I stop.

 

I'm not sure about Lee, but Wrangler is not made in the USA. They do use USA made fabrics though. I wear Wrangler's and also Pointer Brand, which are made in Tennessee.

Do a Google search on USA made products. There are several good sites that list companies that still make products here.

 

+1 for the diamond gusset - comfy and entirely made in USA. AND have some styles for us tall ones. (38" inseam)

 

Pretty good list here:

I am a contractor and live in Wranglers, (USA fabric assembled in Mexico) Ride in them exclusively, I own carhartts but dont like the wind blowing up the legs of my jeans so with slip-on boots and Wranglers no wind. Did have a problem with my stock touring seat being to wide and jeans too tight to efficiently lower my landing gear in traffic jams though. My wife told me to buy looser fitting jeans, I opted to lower the bike and get a new seat.

 

wrangler regular cut. more room no adjusting.

 

I've worn nothin but Wrangler for years; 13MWZ.

 

My only requirement is theyre about 20 bucks, loose fit, and don't blow up my legs when I ride.

Fashion escapes me, and I couldn't care less.
