Best cheap blue jeans.

SPYDERLK · Sep 13, 2009

May be some wild stuff around - none culivated.

According to what Iv read the good fiber stuff is barely or not at all hallucenagenic. The stigma is what makes it low demand in the US for its fiber qualities. Should be able to import cloth or cloth products tho. Last I checked the selection was poor.

From 12 years ago.

Wonder if the prices are still good?

Looks like jeans in the USA are a real bargain. The US ranks #77 at just under $44.

I've never owned a pair of "Levis". The most I've ever paid for jeans is about $15. Usually $9-12. I get the "George" brand at Walmart or what I found on sale. Only the Drug Store Cowboys gotta have Levis. Probably have a large silver belt buckle, Lariat boots, wide brim "caboy" hat and pearl studded long-sleeve that looks like they stole it from a girl. Most likely none of their clothes have ever seen a day of work either--All show and no go.

I also think Rustler is the best brand of cheap jeans. I've probably worn them for work for 50 years. Their sizing is very consistent and they don't have 100 different versions to confuse you. I like them because they have 7 belt loops where many brands have only 5. They fit up on your waist where they are supposed to and have a long zipper instead of those little 3 inch ones some brands have.

When I was showing a lot in horse shows I tried Wrangler Cowboy Cut jeans for a while because that was all that everyone wore in them but they were not as comfortable as the Rustlers and they had so many different styles that you had to check the number on the label to make sure they were the same ones you had been getting or you wound up with some that were so low on your waist they would embarrass a plumber.

That's the first time anybody ever accused me of being a cowboy, drugstore or any other variety. I buy Levi's because they fit me better than anything else I've tried. Funny thing though; when I noticed this thread I was sitting here with a 4 inch tear in the knee of my (formerly) best pair, wondering what I'm going to replace them with.

I've been getting the Rural King jeans. I believe they were $9 the last time I bought some.

Funny, because whereas I find certain ladies sexy in tight ripped jeans, any guy wearing them still just looks like a guy that can't afford new jeans. Well, except for Dwight Yoakum. I wonder if he ever strayed away from his tight faded ripped Levis, having gone totally out of fashion. I had one GF I dated in the 90s comment, on my tight jeans that she could tell my religeon.

I remember a guy I worked with that had been a sailor on a Polish ship, and that jumped ship to freedom. He told me, how they would sew FAKE Levis tabs on Soviet Jeans and sell them. Wonder how they got around the leather patch. Fact. We have some weird little factory in town that makes the leather lables for much of the worlds jean manufacturers including LEVIS.
