Toughskin brand blue jeans available in the boys' department of Sears?
My 5 brothers and I wore toughskins all the way through elementary school.
Yup, the very same Toughskins we wore as kids.
For a long time, Sears didn't carry them. I remember back a few years ago, I was trying to find a pair of jeans for my big boy (now 10) that didn't look like he'd had his belt taken away from him by the prison guards (which is how we got that oh-so-chic "baggy" look in the first place).
After trying on approximately 14,000 different pairs, I demanded to see the department manager. Pointing at my son, I said, "I refuse to dress my child in this manner. You can tell whatever buyer you want to, to start contracting for decently sized jeans, or I swear to you I will go to my mother's house on an archaological expedition and find MY thirty-year-old Toughskins. I guaratee she has them. Until then, I won't be buying ANY jeans from Sears."
(BTW...Mommy DOES have those jeans; in fact, I feel fairly certain that my mother has kept every single scrap of anything we did or made, up to and including the first belly button lint she removed from my umbilicus.)
Meanwhile, I hit the internet. Seems there are lots of places that sell slim-fitting or relaxed fitting jeans for boys...mostly they were western-style places that carried Wranglers Rodeo Cuts.
When Sears finally came to their senses, I was able to shop more locally, though once a year I place an order with that cowboy store as a "thank you" for keeping my kid in dungarees for five years.
