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.


You’re never going to find a hard-wearing pair of pants made of cotton or any other natural fiber. Either learn to love patching it, or go for a poly blend.
I actually do love patching! But at a certain point my pants were more patch than jeans. I ended up going with a pair of jeans and overalls from Duluth. The jeans have held up nice but I do most of my heavy work in the overalls and they’ve help up great so far, and I’ve not been gentle with them.
