Just a thought on blue jeans. Out of curiosity, a guy went and bought some blue genes online. I have a challenge with box stores as they fail to carry my size. The Inseam is the most challenging, that would be a 29", not the tallest guy but can get it online in a couple days. Waist is a 31", again not found in my local stores.
I want to shop local to support my businesses, 30 X 32"s was all that was available. It's all available online and in stock. The local businesses have no answer.
Bought Levi's and Wranglers, the Wranglers are kicking ass on durability, they don't fit as well. Levi's used to be known for this durability thing, they are now about brand and style.
Then we have body types to fit the jeans, not sure what that was modeled after.
Just looking for fit, finish and real durability.
Be Blessed and thank you for your thoughts and experiences.

I could tell that they was mine

I joined StitchFix and they had a brand called Flag & Anthem, which now has its own website (below).
Not sure how much you want to spend on jeans, but there’s lots of varieties and sizes.
Just a word of caution. A lot of modern jeans have lycra and spandex in them to make them stretch, which I really don’t like. So I stick with the ones that are 99% cotton, 1% spandex. I’m also a difficult fit so I’ve loved these.

“blue genes”
Go to Amazon and look up Levi jeans. Hundreds of combinations of style, color and size. What are the odds a local store will have what you want? I prefer buying from local stores but with jeans forget it.
I happen to use Levi now, only because I like the particular style I get.
Finally with online shopping I could more easily find my size. I highly recommend LL Bean.com for jeans. They have all the sizes. A little expensive but very durable, will last you years.
Nice Top reference... :)
Arrg! Out of my size (32/32) on one pair I looked at.
When I saw “blue genes” I thought it was going to be a Y-chromosome / transgender lunacy parody. LOL
Duluth Trading makes absolutely indestructible jeans.

Yup, caught that after posting. The grammar police is on this. My grammar sucks, just looking for good Jeans. Let me know if you can help.
Be Blessed!
I’m 29/32 and those are hard to find as well. Gave up on Levi’s a long time ago due to price. It’s pretty much Wrangler from walmart for me anymore and availability is spotty. I just check on a regular basis and grab a pair when I see them.
Duluth Trading sizing doesn't match others you might be used to. (Bought two pairs that should have been slightly loose in the waist but are instead too tight).
"Jeans Blues"
Somewhere Dusty Hill is smiling...
I buy the $11-$12 George jeans at Walmart.
A variety (small) of cuts and often about 3 color choices. Black, dark blue and medium blue.
I’m cheap.
Once you find one that works you may have to order for additional.
I hate the spandex thing. Just looking for good old fashioned jeans that fit and last.
