I’ve only recently been able to be picky about my clothes and now been trying to find a good pair of jeans that wont rip or tear.
I do a lot of labor so my jeans usually get pretty beat up, i don’t really expect a pair to last forever but i haven’t had a solid pair last more than a couple months without getting a tear. Every pair i have has both knees ripped open. I’ll fix them with a patch but they always rip in a different spot.
I’d spend $200 on a pair that’ll last at least year.
I was thinking jeans, just because that’s all I’ve ever really worn. But I ended up going with a Duluth overalls for working and a pair of denim jeans for going out.
Most of this summer I’ll be building a second barn in a tick infested field and clearing out a big overgrown area on my property, so I feel like the overalls make a lot of sense. The knee pad pockets are what sold it for me. I was ready to order but debating myself, when I saw the pockets I threw in a set of pad insert and ordered. My current kneepads were my father in laws who he got from his dad, so basically non existent padding but better than nothing?
Needless to say I feel like a kid on Christmas
