I also get it if $150 is a lot to spend on jeans..but they do offer a veterans discount so they come out to $120, I bought 2 pairs 2 years ago and they’re still going strong. Prior to that I would just buy new jeans at Marshalls/TJ Maxx for $30 multiple times a year, spending a similar amount to constantly replace jeans.

I am not a 42W, and 100 dollars is too much for jeans. My Wrangler Riggs get abused and they do just fine at 40 bucks a pair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rufio.Weaponworks 57 Posted February 27, 2019 I was buying whatever fit for $30 at TJ Maxx. Being a weightlifter finding jeans that actually fit and not rip is never ending, but like I said spending $240 for 2 pairs of jeans 2 years ago is well worth not buying new jeans every 2-3 months like I was Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maksim 1,504 Posted February 28, 2019 For jeans, I really like Express, especially when you find them on sale/clearance Worn daily, last quite a few years. Yes, the more recent ones wear out a bit faster, but still a great value and fit. Sorry, can't justify $100 or more for designer jeans. Much like the fashion crowd will spend $$$ for some famous name on their ass, I think the tactical, er, gun crowd spends money just to have 5.11 or someone else tactical on their stuff.

Winter ends at a reasonable time here in the south so Jean season is only 3-4 months. I need the lighter fabrics. I just picked up a pair of the lapg pants. so far I like em. light, they seem pretty good, but the button at the waist is kinda wimpy though.

1LtCAP 4,259 Posted May 2, 2019 for what it's worth.....I mentioned awhile ago i'd bought a pair of lapg cargo pants. they were the core cargos. the only thing I didn't like about them was the button. feels wimpy as if it's gonna tear off. so far it hasn't. I like them to the point I bought another pair of the core cargo, and a pair of the urban ops. the urban ops have that Teflon? coating to protect material, and a better button closure. I like these a lot. lightweight, and comfortable. plenty of room in the pockets. front pockets have a sort of ledge in them for pocket knives. the Teflon coating attracts dog hair though. the ones that don't have that coating don't seem to do the same. for the cost, I think these pants are well worth the money.

1LtCAP 4,259 Posted September 22, 2021 it's looking like i'm onna be REALLY stress testing some of those lapg pants.....or go back to the 511 tactical pants. my uniform service keeps sneaking the price up. i'm payin amost 50 bucks a week now. it started off at 36 a week. at the current pricing, it would behoove me to go out, buy 7 pairs of my own pants, and do work laundry once a week. tossing around which pants to use. i already know the 511's are durable. i got 8 years outta my first 5 pairs of those. 8 years of being worn every day in a repair shop, doing yardwork, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
