    Avoid them at all costs, as they have gone completely leftard.....

    Made in America, by Americans.... AND actually support the 2A.
    These guys did not come up the last time we had a thread about American-made jeans. I'll have to give them a try. Thank you.

    Diamond Gusset have been my go to for years, can get them in odd sizes also which is nice and they wear a long time, plus, made in America!

    These did come up in that last thread. I did try them, even though they are $70/pair. They didn't fit me right at all. I'm tall and skinny. I got a couple sizes to try and they both just fit weird. Your mileage may may vary.

    For jeans I go with wranglers though. Better quality and half the price.
    Levi's is definitely anti-American now, heading that way for years. Quality has slipped badly in the last ten years. And they charge three times what a pair of Wranglers cost.

    I decided to try Wranglers after the last made-in-America jeans thread here and the Diamond Gussets didn't pan-out. Wranglers aren't US-made either (Mexico mostly), but they are dirt-cheap, better-made, better-looking, sturdier, and fit me great. Hard to beat at $17 a pop. Levi's can pound sand.

    "The Texas Jeans factory is located in Asheboro, North Carolina." LOL. :D Doesn't hurt my feelings, just funny.

    This I like, for a $30 pair of jeans. I'll definitely be trying them:
    Are Texas Jeans really 100% American Made?
    Yes. All components on our jeans from the fabric, thread, buttons, zippers, etc. are made from vendors in the U.S.A.

    These are what I usually get because I can get a 37 waist. Good quality. On Amazon. That’s when I don’t shop Walmart.

    All of my Levis have been retired as shop rags. At least cut off the tags. Unless you like wearing around matching Bloomberg and Gifford tshirts and a pink bandana

    Carhartt and Wrangler both make decent jeans.

    Levi's were good a long but are now paper-thin and anti-2A, so screw'em.

    Another vote for Wrangler.
    I stopped buying Levi’s years ago when they closed up their last US factory and started giving money to anti 2A organizations.

    Carhartt, Wrangler, Diamond Gusset, Duluth Trading. Carhartt and Wrangler can be had cheap. Never had a pair of Lees that didn't lose belt loops within a month.

    I have an old flannel lined denim jacket that belonged to my Dad - I have no idea what the brand actually is, other than I know it isn't Levi's. It has the same basic look and cut of a Levi's though - Dad probably bought it at Wheeler's or Alco because it was on sale - two smaller Midwest chain general stores. Wheeler's is geared toward farmers and ranchers, and Alco is kind of like Walmart-light.

    Dang - my Dad has been gone since 1997 - that denim jacket is more than 20 years old.
