What outrageous prices? I can walk into WalMart and buy a pair of Wrangler jeans for under 25 dollars. (I wear Flame Resistant NFPA 2112 jeans at work, and those cost 70 bucks.)

I like jeans.

Besides, sweat pants by any other name look just as bad, unless you are out jogging (I don't wear them).

Denim remains both durable and practical for me.

“I can walk into WalMart and buy a pair of Wrangler jeans for under 25 dollars.”

The Wranglers sold at WalMart for that price are not the same quality as the ones sold at Academy or in department stores, typically, between $30 and $35, at least in my experience.
