I can still buy Wrangler 13MWZ for less than $30 anywhere. Not to mention they last 10 times longer. I have pairs that I have had for 10+ years. I got a pair of Cinch from the Mrs one Christmas and not only do they wear like crap they wear out after a few runs in the washer.
People that pay $60+ for jeans have other issues, like sanity.
The whole thing of men wearing jeans with bling or patterns on the pocket is another issue that I disdain, sissy jeans.
I wear Wrangler 13MWZ exclusively. $20 at Academy.
I like the Wrangler 936ATW. $40/pair. I order them online because I can’t find my size off the shelf. I’m kind of a skinny little runt with a 28” waist. Perfect fit that looks great on me and they are very durable.
