Man I must be buying at the wrong place, I haven't seen jeans under $30 in 20
years. I used to be pleased to buy irregular Wranglers for $25.
At that price you know you're sending your money offshore right? I mean if you
want to talk about bringing back American manufacturing you can't
simultaneously pay 1970s prices for pants.

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.
Mitch.
